Haha. I could have sworn you'd go for Annie Hall.
Maybe. But I wouldn't dismiss everything he says out of hand. Like I said, I long for some nuance. The debate has become far too polarised. I'd love intelligent debate rather than all this "pick a side" hatefest.
OK. I'm not convinced.
I have mostly grown out of being judgemental. I don't think he's a bad person. And I don't use that word unless I'm very vexed, because I was raised by a tribe of 1970s feminists who taught me not to.
Sally, you were, and remain, gorgeous, however you may wear your hair.
I refer you to my previous response. #nuance
I'm sure the binary arguments for and against can still be found here if one was to go looking. Oh for some nuance.
Image, yes. Photo, no. #LinguisticAccuracy #Pedant
But not manipulating the photo. Just the text.
You didn't need 'em.
It's alright, he's deaf.
Of course it is. I didn't really manipulate anything. I just altered the text with my crazee skillz.
Cool photo.
I did no such thing. #MicrosoftPaint
If only I understood most Alan Partridge memes.
"Bits" has to be one of the funniest of the euphemisms.
Good lad.
But why is nobody congratulating me on my Gary/Carrie poster?
The best Blur single is Michael Caine by Madness.
Also: "two of his former bandmates"? Thank God all the others are keeping quiet.

Do you really think she'd have me?
I wouldn't even think that of mice.
It's allowed.
The unfinished Murmur sessions remake from 1983... #REMTop30 www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzWt...
Mouse is addicted to carrots.
I'll be careful.
Next time, try cutting one in the sink, under water.
Ooh. Dastardly!
Doh! That was probably it.
That occurred to me just now.
As an experiment, I just attempted to cut a slice of carrot as quietly as I could, holding both carrot and knife in my hands and slicing slowly and carefully. Mouse still managed to hear what I was doing, and came bounding into the kitchen. The ears on her! #rabbits
Ta.
EQ, reverb, and editing.
I hope they give us a better mix of the Empty Glass band demo. This was my attempt at improving the sound... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx3r...
Maybe they've mispriced it! Lifehouse came down rapidly in price anyway. I'm most interested in the Shepperton sessions and live '79 stuff.
Tracklisting looks fucking tasty, to be fair. I'm in!
Yes, and it gets on my tits. #TandA
Iconic, my arse.
I really should have expected that.
Yes, Master Po.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
29. Sitting Still #REMTop30 The b-side of their first single. The band attempted to remake the song for Murmur, but in the end they decided to use the original version remixed, slowed down, and with some overdub repairs to the backing vocals and bass. youtu.be/OZ3ad_L2Qjw
You've made a choice on some deep level.
Here's the only album I know where every song sounds like it deserved to be a hit in an alternate universe...
Pssssst. Anybody want to buy an Incredible String Band painting from 1969? As seen on Antiques Roadshow a decade ago (valued at £2k, clip below). Drop me a line if you want to discuss, or you have any ideas about potential owners... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25708954...
It’s “Team by team reporters, baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped, Look at that low playing, fine, then
This supposed to be a reply to someone?
Yes. I miss Peter's organ part, but otherwise the remix wins hands down.
30. Let Me In [remix] #REMTop30 This didn't land with me first time around, but the extra clarity of the remix allowed me to focus more on Michael's vocal, lyric, and performance. Also, having experienced a profound loss, the song became personal and now it floors me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZkw...
It’s ‘Left of west and coming in a hurry with the Furies breathing down your neck
Tried that (and still try now and then). Daren't do that. Should have done that, but it was too much to handle. Don't know how to do that.
I need things to do. And I like banging on about favourite songs. I know it's nonsense, but the temptation is much too strong. Sorry.
Yes (with reservations).
Love that album so much.
Tall order. I'll try. Gonna have to use instinct.
#REMtop30 Starts tomorrow. I first announced this challenge way back in February (where does the time go!). Post your 30 favourite R.E.M. songs, counting down from 30-1. Post one per day throughout September. At the end I’ll produce two playlists, a top 30 and a deluxe edition top 60. Good luck.
Chances are that they still exist. Few artists actually ever destroy tapes. The typical worst case scenarios are inadequate storage or accidental damage.

Please specify, the color of skin and eyes, we know you'll be happy...
Haha.

Nice.
Have you actually read it? I'd be impressed.

What about when you have a hangover?
Bus Stop. As illustrated by Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress).
It's all going to be about how The Beatles votes divvy up anyway.
Heresy.
But those are the best 5 minutes!
Can't believe you've already discounted Forever Changes. For me, that's as close to perfect as it gets.
It was a long time ago.
No, it was the 'bang bang' and the funny words.
I have no words.
Fab.
Yeah. I was a hooks person.
I didn't think like that back then. It sounded like a rock lyric. I was still terraforming. Girls grow up faster than boys.
Plus, it really sounds like "gotten cheap".
Yes it is. It is an excuse. It's my excuse.
And that includes Neil Young's "rock" songs. And I love Neil.
Yes, it makes perfect sense. But I was 12. I wasn't hot on metaphors.
You always knew it was sheep? Genuinely never occurred to me.
You'll know it. I ain't posting it. Smithy likes them, bless his cotton socks.
It has to be in the sense of RAWK to be awful. Actual rocks are fine.
They had a late-period hit with that awful song with "rock and roll" in the title. Most songs that mention "rock" are fucking awful, tbf.
Always misheard Cliff's "I ain't losing sleep and I ain't countin' sheep" as "I ain't losing sleep and I ain't gotten cheap". #TOTP
Same. Until this very second.
Disagree. He may be a bit of a knob, but that's a good pop single.
Looks good though, babe.
Stop flirting with me. (No.)
The eagle has landed. Well, I mean the new pair of boots.
Maybe it was the word poop that triggered someone.
