UnFaggot R.E.M.[views:2157][posts:4]___________________________________ [Dec 5,2005 4:05am - infoterror ""] UNFAGGOT R.E.M. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QJFY1K5D Of all the bands from the early 1980s, R.E.M. accomplished perhaps the most: defining the indie rock aesthetic, explaining the existential fears of generation X, giving a voice to folk and country music through pop. Unfortunately, they got absorbed by one of the great rock 'n' roll timewasters, which is liberal politics, at which point they began to whine like an emo band and all their songs sounded roughly the same. This compilation assembles the R.E.M. songs from before they sold out to an audience of grateful but clueless liberals, and thus had artistic integrity. It is hoped that this will prompt those who have overlooked this band because of Michael Stipe's brand-name-Democrat carryings on to instead give their early, less dogmatized work, a chance. The saga of R.E.M. illustrates the essence of art: when captive, it declines. As soon as you stop trying to communicate to your audience, and give them an experience, and start selling them a product based on the experience they say they'd like to have, you're muzak and not music. Sadly, that happened to R.E.M. in the late 1980s and it has been downhill ever since. These tracks however are timeless and should remind us all of how once great this band was. 01-Wolves Lower 02-Gardening at Night 03-Carnival of Sorts (Box Cars) 04-1,000,000 05-Stumble 06-Pilgrimage 07-Laughing 08-letter Never seNt 09-White Tornado 10-9-9 11-Shaking Through 12-Perfect Circle 13-Windout 14-(don't Go back To) ROCKVILLE 15-Rotary Ten 16-Swan Swan H 17-We Walk Compilation created by VIJAY PROZAK (prozak@anus.com; http://www.anus.com/). Direct all whining to that address so it can be viciously ignored. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QJFY1K5D |
