While we wait for the rest of the Disney Cruise pictures to upload...
For those of a certain age, who are now in prime career/childrearing/living life to the fullest years, chances are high that R.E.M. was one of the pillars of their personal musical landscapes. Melodic enough to be accessible to nearly everyone, yet quirky and anti-establishment enough to give suburban kids the feeling that they were really indie, dude, R.E.M. helped define college and, eventually, popular music for about 15 years through the 80s and mid-90s.
As further proof that everything exists on the internet, and that you can find it if you look long enough, an enterprising soul has created a site with a brief analysis of one R.E.M. song every day.
This just might kill off the rest of my week.

Oh. My. God. Like I'm not procrastinating enough just reading your blog! But isn't REM existential enough that each person can derive their own analysis of each song? I mean, "It's the End of the World..." can be interpreted so many ways!
Or, maybe, just one.
