Kickpuncher 5012 Posted December 20, 2018 Adam had definitely talked about his job at the toffee shop before, but never to this level of detail, and I'm pretty sure that this was the first appearance of the phrase "Candy Boy". 2 Share this post Link to post
Joe Rickenbacker 0 Posted December 28, 2018 In 2005, just as I was nosediving into R.E.M.'s 1980s back catalogue, my favourite magazine (Uncut, from the UK) put out free CDs chock-full of R.E.M. influences - each curated by a member of R.E.M.! I only got the Mike Mills version (my teenage budget couldn't justify buying three identical magazines), but it was an absolute treasure trove for discovering bands like The Replacements, The Jayhawks, Pylon, Jason & the Scorchers and Soul Asylum: http://www.45worlds.com/cdalbum/cd/uncut200508a (I've turned it into a Spotify playlist:) Stipe went a bit more ecletic: https://www.discogs.com/Various-The-REM-Collection-Disc-2-Michael-Stipe-Presents-Rare-And-Unreleased-Tracks/release/1796688 (Spotify link to follow) Peter Buck's was very expansive, going all the way from Ry Cooder to Sufjan Stevens: https://www.discogs.com/Various-The-REM-Collection-Disc-2-Michael-Stipe-Presents-Rare-And-Unreleased-Tracks/release/1796688 (Spotify link to follow) Share this post Link to post
