Nice! Some great exhibitions coming up at the Tate. I've done a few free tours of the NPG and British Museum recently if you've got a spare 90 minutes.

Whatcha up to in London?

The problem is, the last train from London Euston to Birmingham on Saturday evenings leaves LDN at 21:42 and the last train from London Marylebone to Birmingham leaves at 22:02...

@remlyrics.bsky.social Is this to arrange a meet up?

I'll be at a few of the dates 🎸

It's a deal! 👍👍 See you in Birmingham 🎸🎸🎸

Happy birthday!!

On it already! Highly recommend! Judy Chicago, Radical Bookshop Now, 56 Nervous Breakdowns and Linda's drumming throughout are the highlights so far! Excited for the UK tour!

Stand out tracks? I'm currently loving Radical Bookshop, Judy Chicago and Hot Artists.

First: Automatic
Favourite: New Adventures in Hi-Fi

Cuyahoga or I Believe 🤷🏼‍♂️

Could be the best night of the tour 🤔😜

Jason Narducy merch. Link in his blue sky bio 👍 You going to any of the MS/JN gigs?

Ah okay! Logistics! Well, if you manage to pull it off I'll certainly be in line 👍

Ooo I got to see the live rehearsals! I do feel incredibly lucky to have been there on 3rd July. They played Kohoutek and Feeling's Gravity's Pull. Where is Oberlin?

There's definitely some gigs I'd have loved to have been at... November '84 (University of Birmingham, my old alma mater), 1989 (Birmingham NEC), Bingo Hand Job at the Borderline, St. James Church...

The new @lukehaines.bsky.social and Peter Buck album has arrived! Nice artwork too!

It's taken the death of Hulk Hogan for me to realise that Mister Fred Blassie is, actually a real person. How did I not know this?!

Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it... Ah f*** it. "The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged..." @remlyrics.bsky.social

Managed to blag my way into Deb Hall, University of Birmingham. Any recollections of 1984 @millsish.bsky.social @remhq.bsky.social

Small exhibition featuring music on campus at the University of Birmingham 1965-1995, inc. R.E.M. at the Deb Hall in 1984... Any recollections @millsish.bsky.social @remhq.bsky.social

And what a great video! Peter Care I think 🤔

Hey @theeminus5.bsky.social are you bringing any merch / albums to the UK LH/PB/M5 gigs next month? I've been holding off buying a physical copy of the new M5 album until the gigs in the hope you might be signing 🤞

Hoping for tour merch, would love a poster 😜

"They tried to bust you in a sting
But virtue isn't everything
So don't waste time
Now here's a rhyme that you can steal
Put this on your reel to reel"

Super excited! And my new shirt has arrived!

This is super cool... Where did you get this from?

That is an easy one, but it's a great picture! Super talented.

Merch store? Maybe don't buy too much stock though 😂

I'll be there, super excited! @jasonnarducy.bsky.social Was it a deliberate decision to play the same venues that R.E.M. played in 1985? Rock City etc? Any chance you'll be bringing some UK posters? 😂
