[Ideas to keep this show going indefinitely]

R.E.M. just announced a new 9-disc box set called "R.E.M. at the BBC", coming out on Oct. 19th.  I'll be severely disappointed if the guys don't do an episode on this.

I think I said this somewhere else in the past, but I think they should just lose the 'one band' focus and just talk about music.  They could do a Radiohead episode, a couple of Prince ones, a "favorite songs of the 80s," Adam's wedding mix, "favorite concerts we've been to," etc. etc.  There's a million themes/ideas they could easily delve into and be entertaining and see how their lists clash and the show could last as long as they felt like it.

Agreed!  I love this idea.  Focusing on one band is fun, but there are so many cool music-related things they could tackle going forward.  And they could still devote a few episodes to specific bands if they want. 

[Next R U Talking Series]

How about Pearl Jam?   Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers would be awesome as well.
