3 Janes addictions, 2 Peppers, 1 ac/DC, 1 apc, 1 qotsa, and of course 1 REM the currículum of this band is amazing

This is just fantastic ! Can I just say I’m becoming obsessed with Andrew Watt ! Ever since he produced the last brilliant Pearl Jam album ! He has an amazing ability to produce so many brilliant musicians over the past few years !

Meh. Really makes you appreciate how vital all members of REM were to their music.

I never knew the bad guy from the Chipmunk movies had a band! — seriously it’s fantastic to have Michael Stipe back, with or without REM. May they live forever.
