R.E.M. - Just a Touch

I love Just a Touch. It seems similar in a way to 'I believe' from the same album- both great songs.

Ok get this, I was downloading the CD i barrowed to get this song and they dont got it on iTunes, right. So when it has 1 second left, it hits a scratch and can't download. DAMN!

Can't believe this band was booed after opening up for the Police in Norfolk back in the early/mid 80's!!!!!!!
I really dug their sound!
Were they ever underestimated?????
I don't hear too many Police songs anymore although I enjoyed them. lol

This song will forever remind me of my best friend from high school.

I have to disagree with the early production value....that is why I love old REM SO MUCH and why I was drawn to them. I think not being able to understand Stipe and the music having the garage/college band feel made the band what it is/was.

Yep.  First three with little production are the best. I saw them a year ago and people were yelling over the top of "Pretty Persuasion" for "Man on the Moon."

Oh man.. that's just wrong.

Don't you think that depends on the kid? Seriously. Of course our perceptions shift as we get older, but in a lot of ways, quite a few of us become more intractable and petty. I mean, dayum, ever try conversing with people you went to high school with (think Facebook or something). Never ceases to amaze me how narrow-minded people I used to know have become. Course, that's me.

It's depressing

of course it depends on the kid,highly intellectual kids probably "get it",as for people you used to know when you were young,some never grow up,others just follow money or hedonism/consumerism/fashion and some become powerful,others join unions,become politically active,some just live quietly and peacefully,minding their own business.
To me, there seems to be a lack of music around that has a social conscience at the moment.

michelle.. have you seen The Alchemists of sound (part one)?
bbc radiophonic workshop, bet you've already seen it :)
