Browsing YouTube, I come across these: my two favourite songs by R.E.M. 'Losing My Religion' was the first of their songs I ever heard and I've always loved the music video for it. And 'Nightswimming' always strikes me as incredibly beautiful in its simplicity and elegance.
(And the first person to make a snipe at R.E.M based on 'Shiny Happy People' is gonna get a... a... well, something really unpleasant! ;p )

"And I also don't go for this other thing now, with MTV being so big where you get a band that gets a hit video, and all of the sudden they think that they're like icons and they can tell us how to feel about environmental issues and how to vote and stuff. You know what I'm talking about? Like R.E.M. "Shiny Happy People" "Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey! Pull that bus over to the side of the pretentiousness turnpike, alright!? I want everybody off the bus. I want the shiny people over here, and the happy people over here, ok! I represent angry gun-toting meat-eating fucking people, alright!" Sit down and shut the fuck up Michael! Don Henley's gonna tell me how to vote. I don't fucking think so, ok? I got two words for Don Henley, Joe Fucking Walsh, ok!? Thanks for calling, Don! How long's your pony tail now? Ok!" - Denis Leary, "No Cure for Cancer"
So do I get the something unpleasent, or Leary?
