Eliminator is when they lost me. I picked up on changes with Tejas that were even more evident with DegΓΌello. They were in full bloom on El Loco so it’s not like Eliminator was a complete left turn. Still, everything up to & including Fandango is my preferred era.

Circumstances took me home today. A lot has been written about what home is & what it means to us. I drove down roads today I hadn’t been on in decades & was often overwhelmed by the memories that came flooding back. Once sorted, they’ll become a story I’ll share. Maybe here. Maybe on my blog.

Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy w/ Michael Stipe β€œThese Days” 3/7/2026 Brooklyn Steel, New York

When a rare event like this occurs I find it incredibly disrespectful of fellow fans to say Michael Shannon should step aside & let Stipe sing the entire song himself. These moments wouldn’t even be happening if not for Shannon/Narducy & band celebrating the R.E.M. catalog.

How Musicians Should (and shouldn't) Use AI Mike came back with receipts!After running his set list through AI last episode, he took the feedback, rewired his show, and played to 2,000 people β€” crowd went wild. That's the whole argument rig...

These guys think it’s a good idea to allow AI to create setlists for live performances. I’m sure there are some positives to AI but I can’t fathom how this is even remotely a good idea, particularly for artists who create their setlists on the fly.

Way back in the early 70s I was smelling it before I knew what it was. However, this classmate I refer to (who I was friends with) overdid it. The overwhelming power of the aroma burned my nose. It was more of a stench than a scent.

I knew a girl in college who I’m pretty sure bathed in it. So much so that she left a vapor trail. I arrived in home room one morning overwhelmed by the strong scent & asked if Hope had been there. She’d just left. True story.

From No Code, my favorite Pearl Jam album. I saw them in concert for the first time on this tour which was when they were battling Ticketmaster & only performing at venues that were using alternate ticketing services. It sold out in 90 seconds so I felt incredibly fortunate to have scored a ticket.

I allowed myself to get dragged into one of those β€œrap isn’t music” discussions based on comments Jerry Garcia made here. He couldn’t have been more off base. Perhaps someday I’ll learn.

A playlist no one is going to listen to. Same for suggesting a song you think they might like.

More often than not I prefer the early work of my favorite artists. If you mean their formative work before they’ve found their voice. That, I get. R.E.M. have at least an album’s worth of songs before you get to Murmur. Jimmy Buffett has 2 albums before he signed to ABC/Dunhill.
