Huge NME interview with R.E.M.
Here.
I fell out of love with them after the first four (maybe five) albums. But this interview is so, so good.
Here’s the song that used to make me dance in the dark on Sunnyside, all on my own. Chris thought I was weird.

One of the best songs ever. By them or anyone else. Thank god for CFNY in the day that would play this stuff. And their best track, by far, IMHO. Could only go downhill after that.

Their performance of this on Letterman is the bomb. On YouTube.

They were not the same band after they signed with Warner Brothers. Their stuff on I.R.S. was (IMHO) the real deal.
