There's a band in Denmark called TV2 that always refers to themselves as "the world's most boring band". I don't think they took REM into account when thinking up that slogan.

Anyway, REM may have been somewhat hit or miss in the 90s, but their 80s stuff is pretty great imo, especially the first EP and first album.

Sometimes you just listen to stuff that matches your mood. Most of my favorite music is usually dark and somber or extremely violent, but I'm like the happiest upbeat person in the world because I shoot up heroin behind the high schools with the teenagers.

Yeah no we get it you're a post-juggalo. When the trailer park block party is winding down you're the guy talking about the Holocaust with the 92-year-old Auschwitz survivor as research for your next mixtape.

What the hell is a post-juggalo? Got an expansive journal about that somewhere?
