The album version, 7 Chinese Bros

And the outtake where Stipey reads the liner notes of a gospel album (!) to the same music track. This version just screams for a William Shatner remake.

Final song from Out of Time. I love songs that use a bass to carry the melody. Most people seem to forget that bass guitars can actually play notes (gasp!) as well as go “bomp bomp bomp bomp” every measure, but, of course R.E.M. is much smarter than that. Mike Mills is a helluva great bass player (and singer).

Usually I think politics and music is a bad mix, but this one has a haunted feel to it, and unlike Rage Against The Machine they don’t hit you over the head with the message. Really, it’s obscure enough to have multiple meanings, but I think is about commie Catholic priests fighting to overthrow legitimate corporations in Latin America in the name of Jesus Marx. Or something like that.

Yup!

Until I find something I like better (not bloody likely), I’m keeping this one. Forever and ever. Ha ha ha… But, seriously, it’s the best theme I’ve found.

 

update: Awwww, yeah! Now that I have a more customized banner image, I think I shall keep this a good while longer.

For the curious, this is the image I used. It’s a fan drawing of Azusa from the very excellent manga K-On!!:

Awwww, this month’s final song from Fables. It’s a gooder. Somehow the advice of “When you greet a stranger/look at his shoes” had somewhat deadly implications in the later 80s. Or maybe I’m the only one who remembers those stories.
