The southern gothic imperialism in stipe's voice and the urgency cast by harmonic dissonance is a little campy, slightly unsettling, and highly provocative. It takes the mind wandering around the edges just to find out where the middle is: "in my life", as a bridge is just that crossroads. The watershed -- wholly centered -- reveals the deep nexus right smack dab where the middle ought to be. shaking through is my very favorite studio track. followed closely by voice of harold, but that is simply coincidence.

I don’t know why I feel like this was relevant enough to leave a comment about, but early hours do funny things to the brain.

When you have time, you should consider doing an Idiot’s Guide To for Jefitoblog. I don’t think he’s had one on REM, and I feel like they could use one.
