This is our first Weekly Album Club discussion thread! Last Wednesday I passed out our assignment. REM's 1992 follow up to their mainstream breakthrough Out of Time, Automatic For The People
https://lemmy.world/post/4994392
One of the 1000s of band inspired by Velvet Underground that became a band that kicked off a 1000 alternative bands of their own (and is our community header). After taking college rock and literally kick starting the “authenticity” alternative music boom of the 90s, REM returned with this brooding dark album.

So you all had a week, what are your thoughts on AFTP, what it meant for REM, to music, to you? How does it feel in its place in time? And whatever else you want to talk about with it.
Let's go!

Thank you everyone for participating and helping our community grow.
While I never got into Downie or Tragically Hip, it's always heartbreaking when a music artist you love dies - and especially when the music then takes on new meanings.
This one is random, but there's a song by Florence and the Machine on the beautiful album High As Hope called "South London Forever" and when she hits the line about it never snowing again, my heart breaks, about loss of experiences and also death for me. And while that's not "love" heart break, I think what really saddens me is that idea of something being done forever, from life experiences, to life itself.
And we're just children wanting children of our own
I want a space to watch things grow
But did I dream too big?
Do I have to let it go?
What if one day there is no such thing as snow?
Oh God, what do I know?
Yes!!!! GLB!!!
no, been a freebie user since Google Readers died and honestly, for the way I use it, to pop on and scroll through the feed then clicking on some articles? I've never felt limited or like I needed to pay to do anything.
First one that starts playing in my head?
The Magnetic Fields- All My Little Words - https://youtu.be/1uQFlNa1Dk0?si=K2PBYvxeb9U4trtq
RSS is great for following blogs and sites of specific interests, like local sites, or sites about specific subjects. You get ALL the updates. For example. I live in Baltimore and have a bunch of local sites in my RSS reader.
Reddit/Lemmy, on the other hand, is a more democratically human curated and upvoted aggregator so while it hits all the popular stuff beyond the topics you follow on RSS, it will miss a lot too.
So I use both.
Feedly for hundreds of sites of interest. And Reddit and now Lemmy for the rest.
Good stuff!
Who cares? The dude’s about to die. Jesus.
yeah, that one hit people hard
oh dang, don’t think I knew that. =(
For a hot second there I thought you wrote "Tom Waits - Radiohead" and I was like... waaaaaait.
