I realized this evening that I can sing along with three songs that no human being should be able to sing along to.
Elvis Costello's "Pump it Up"
R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World as We Know it"
The Pet Shop Boys' "West End Girls"
Shouldn't that make me uniquely qualified for some sort of prize or job? Yeah. I guess not.
I also realized that R.E.M.'s New Adventures in Hi-Fi might be on one the most under-appreciated albums of the last twenty years.
Posted by mikewolf at April 23, 2004 10:20 PMGood call on _New Adventures in Hi-Fi_! It's one of my very favorite of theirs - well, one of my favorite albums in general.
