It was very fun to guest on this -- this was such a uniquely difficult, extremely VH1 circa 2004 album to parse, and I loved going through why

also the fact that it existed at the same time as american apparel and a mere month before Movement By LCD Soundsystem was released blows my mind
Take another trip AROUND THE SUN with us and special guest @dvi-socialmode.bsky.social as we unpack the identity crisis of R.E.M.'s weird 13th LP, art & cultural response in the wake of another invasion of Iraq, and how Y2K revivalism formed and categorized across digital borders in the late 2010s.

Schedule update! We've had to push back our Accelerate recording because life happens, and Around The Sun is the only one I've got left in the bank, so I'm gonna postpone the release of that episode by a week as well since we're accidentally on an every-3-weeks pace anyway this season lol.

I like the acoustic ver too. After we wrap R.E.M. on silent discog, Adam and I (and Andre if he wants) are gonna go back and cover that and the last Slowdive record to get caught up.

My actual answer is Supernatural Superserious off of Accelerate but it doesn’t sound like any Mega Man songs unless the Protomen did a thing about Mega Man having his queer awakening at summer camp

My brain knows there is no way that the Mega Man composer heard an early REM song that was then only available on bootlegs and thought “I am going to make an all-time banger that sounds exactly like this” but my heart wants to believe.

I love Accelerate, but unfortunately it came out in 2008, so while the master isn't completely brickwalled to shit, it's pretty close. We won't get a 25th Anniversary remaster til 2033, but the old two disc 45rpm LP is at least a little bit less compressed, unlike the single disc rerelease.

Yeah I got plans Friday night.
