Why is there a kick drum in the song and not in the scene?

Pretty dang cool if you ask me! And if you dont...oh well!

[Ruijor]

From now on this is how you can imagine R.E.M. perform - on one of the guy´s living rooms...

Thank you for these amazing 31 years of amazing music! It was one hell of a ride... <3

Love all the retro, but the window towels are the best. And I want his green phone.

This reminds me of a song that would have been on Fables Of The Reconstruction. This should have been a single on Collapse Into Now.

[Stipe4ever]

Michael told me this would be on the record-so sad they must have had a change of heart :(

[MarthaMyDear64]

what do u mean by " Michael told me" do u know him??? Gawd, I would die to know him! =D

[BeginXtheXBegin]

Where was this filmed? I know it was in Athens, but where in Athens?

[Stipegroupie]

It's Michael's guesthouse.

[BeginXtheXBegin]

Cool. Thanks. =)

[brokenimages]

wow stipe groupie your knowledge is a little scarey ...

[Stipegroupie]

I just happen to love this place as it looks very like my house - same colours and 1950s inspired furniture. I also like the rather phallic elephant trunks on the wall which were a present to Michael from his family. There are photos of this place which David Belisle took in the recent book "Hello", when Michael got locked out of his house, after he forgot the combination for his security system and it was too late to call anyone!

[MarthaMyDear64]

hahha, poor Michael!

[olvr1902]

"Phallic elephant trunks" ?

Someone needs to get laid.

So beautiful it hurts...

Thank You !!!

Does this song remind me of another song or is it cause i heard it before, vaguely in their rehersals? anyone?

[kalitube7]

why the hell leave this song behind?????

it would have been perfect on accelerate, even if it's slow... because it's slow... a big mistaje I think, this song is wonderful

merci les gars de la blogotheque! continuez!!

[kaldizoltan]

I agree. They also left behing Staring down the barrel of the middle distance! I don't know why! These songs are so beautiful! I love them!

[B2thaT]

[NickJunoJr]
