Still automatic after all these years.

Posted by apostropher

Stereogum has launched Drive XV, their tribute to R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People, with free mp3s of the covers of each song, as well as liner notes by the bands covering it and Mike Mills. Some real gems there. Best to act quickly before the permanent downloads disappear like they did with the OK Computer tribute, and you're stuck streaming the files.

Any chance anyone has that OKX available as an mp3? I'm REALLY interested in getting a hold of it.

I don't, but BitTorrent is your best bet on that.

REM's Automatic is one of those albums that kind of grew on my. When it came out, I was like, this is cool, okay, fine, next...

Nowadays I swear I get misty-eyed listening to "Man on the Moon" or "Night Swimming." Weird. The album really grew on me without me forcing it.

I'd rather listen to Gardening at Night...in a non-homosexual kinda way.
