This year’s @oxfordamerican.bsky.social Southern Music Issue arrived today along w/ their sampler on vinyl. I’ve only missed 1 issue since ‘98, the 1st not to include a CD but playlists instead. The ‘98 issue, which included an alternate take of a new R.E.M. track is how I 1st heard of the magazine.

They were also on the fourth episode during the first season in 1989 along with Michael Penn when it was hosted by Jules Shear.

27.11.2025 19:22 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Which episode of 10,000 Maniacs?
27.11.2025 14:38 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0That’s the only time that ever happened to me. Ticket outlets were few & far between back then, if not totally nonexistent in my area. I remember being able to order them over the phone (maybe Ticketron days?) I had to buy tix lottery style for R.E.M. even though there were just a few of us in line.
