     We should also start a small fund to transport fellow Gatherers who 
  have never seen KJ live. $5-10 each can go a long way.
  It'd be nice if the band threw in matching funds...

  Yes, Bette -- we do have excellent taste when it comes to male drummers, no? ; ) 
  All jesting aside, I agree with you on "Murmur," which is one of the best from the 80s, for sure. I share your envy for our British compatriots and the upcoming KJ gig. I say we start a "Draft KJ" petition to get them back over here. 

  Cheers,

  Karen

    Really?  We must have a similar chromosome.  We also have the BPF gene....lol.
     
    "Murmur" was such a very rich and wonderful album, and that song is just gorgeous.
     
    I looked up "Heaven" in the UK, and yeah, I know it is a gay bar....but the article I read was about Lady Gaga (wonder what Alex in NYC thinks of this chick going around saying she IS NYC, and rivals Andy Warhol in talent) performing or going there.....KJ is gonna play there?  Very unique.  Maybe I am just an envious little sod across the pond.......

      Really?  Didn't get into "Murmur"?  I think "Pilgrimage" is one of their best songs ever.

      That whole 1st REM 5 song EP was sick and twisted. The only other record that comes close it "Reckoning".

      Pete Buck (I am only speaking of early REM, like "Chronic Town", "Murmur" and "Reckoning") had such a distinctive style of guitar playing.  Actually inspired me in so many ways.  They were so great in their early years.  Isn't Mike Mills the name of the bassist?  Just listening to "Wolves, Lower" and am astounded by his playing.  
      Who was the bassist on "Learning to Crawl"?  That had some tight bass lines, for sure.

        I was also going to say John Paul Jones, Youth, and 'that guy from Siouxsie & and Bs.' 
      I'd just add Lee Dorman of Iron Butterfly, Geddy Lee (of Rush) of course, and the entire Reggae movement in general.
