This episode is good because I ask the the bold question: “Have you ever weaponized a time signature?”

Nightswimming is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. Will have to give this a listen.

That's why Mike Mills loves it so much
No okay, here, I cracked it. Baseball is about terrible in-the-moment suffering; it's like being tortured. Basketball is about relentless picking apart of the moment after the fact; it's like wearing a hairshirt.

Okay, so we just recorded New Adventures, and I'm about a third of the way through the Out Of Time edit. With any luck I can have that uploaded Friday night or Saturday morning.
I did more prep for that New Adventures in Hi-Fi episode than I have for any test or interview in my life. Which is to say: some.

We're recording our next episode this week, so I'm going to take this little cassette on a New Adventure in Hi-Fi of its own.

Shit so thick you could stir it with a stick.
“Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings”

“Bad Day” was released as a single on this day in 2003. It is one of two previously unreleased songs included on In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003.
