upvote for Pavement, REM & Nirvana!!

I remember this very well.
This intro was my first taste of REM.
The tune was good, but the words blew me away.

I love dreaming, especially lucid dreaming (something I have done quite often). The only thing I still find really freaky is the "falling" phenomenon you experience when your body falls into rem atonia while you are still conscious. That and having "wake up" dreams (you know, the ones in which you enact waking up, only to find something freakishly unreal about your surroundings).

Dreaming's awesome.

I knew of

Double Dagger ... punky band from baltimore

LCD Soundsystem ... guy who runs DFA but LCD was bigger than his own label somehow.

REM ... duh

The White Stripes ... duh

Ludicra ... metal band from east bay that had a wicked female vocalist

The Stills ... fuck em

Ponytail ... some weirdo mathy band from baltimore that probably should not have had a vocalist at all.

and Sonic Youth. Had no idea Sonic Youth threw in the towel but knew that Thurston and Kim are getting divorced which is sad in and of itself.


All I know is that I did not see Lou Reed or Metallica on the list ... leaves me disappointed.

Looking up the words to the REM song I found them here:

One of dag's other jobs.

Bands I recognized from this video:
The White Stripes
REM

I'm positive that REM clip aired before 1999.

*researches*

Hmm, I guess not. Wow, I feel old.

Lol typical Coco, funny as hell. The 'I lost my virginity to REM' had me lmao. Though I personally lost my virginity to Def Leppard. Hysteria album brings back so many memories lol.

The original post is also way funnier, thanks to some well-placed REM.

Eureka! I think I had that dream!
Thanks for the epiphany, I didn't see it for the truth that it was but you've helped the fog to clear!
I now know that the aliens were communicating with my because it happened while I was in REM sleep and my mind couldn't have just made something like that up! I will henceforth go forward and preach in a new era of Alien/Human peace! ( )
>> ^Deadrisenmortal:

How different is it really to suggest that you were visited by the omnipotent creator of the universe than it is to suggest that you were visited by an intelligent alien life form from a far off planet?

Thanks Geo!

*quality song.

She also performed this song as a duet with Michael Stipe (REM), which is even better IMO
