  • This was never not going to happen, but there’s still something consoling about the predictability of the Arctic Monkeys’ Mercury Prize win. On to the second record all about the trappings of fame.
  • Only about 14 people here in the States own copies of the Manic Street Preachers flagship album Everything Must Go but all 14 of them will buy the reissue when it comes out.
  • Georgia has its own Music Hall of Fame and R.E.M. will perform with original drummer Bill Berry when they are inducted into it September 16th. Cute, right?

“By” the reissue? I’M THERE!

So then, Berry comes back YET AGAIN for their Rick N Roll Hall of Fame Induction as well?

Isn’t that due soon?

The Arctic Monkeys have more good stuff one on album than R.E.M. have on every album combined. Why did Bill Berry quit? Cause he was the only cool guy in a band full of dipshits!

Poor Elizabeth Goodman. Forced to write lame blog-style jokes based on stolen NME stories, and she’s woefully unprepared to do even that.

What on earth has happened to Rolling Stone?

It’s sad that so few people own “Everything Must Go.” It’s one of my favorite albums of all time…I extremely dislike having to re-purchase albums I already own (can’t they just release the bonus shit seperately) but at least the Manics are cramming as much stuff onto it as possible. The Holy Bible reissue was worth getting as well.

Who would of thought that Bill Berrys departure would leave REM into suckiness for 10 years?He truely was what kept REM rockin filling up areans, now it’s half empty halls.

Dear REM,

Pay no attention to Laurence. He probably likes Alexisonfire.
