Myoozic Revyooze
Whenever I listen to early R.E.M., it sounds like droning mumbly bollocks. Yet I still listen to it why?
Tonight I heard (and saw) Giora Schmidt play Bruch’s 1st violin concerto - amazing, bluesy, slidey, raw, rejuvenating. The slow movement is so ravishing it’s very hard to ravish it, but Schmidt ravished it. A great violinist. Can you ravish a movement?
Can you?

Now all I can think of are those silly jokes about what’s brown, smelly and sits on a piano.

A piano stool, h? If so that’s a new one on me.
OOC: Automatic is OK, as is anything from Green to Monster inclusive. Before Green though, REM were a bit of a mess. They had some great songs but gah, they were fey.
