My friends and I used to discuss R.E.M. lyrics as we heard them and their meanings, in letters, as teens!
Any chance of dropping an occasional correct early stuff lyric cheat, once in a while? 😉
Really funny, I was just listening to Murmur on Spotify this morning and the “lyrics” came up on my phone. I’m not sure if they’re remotely correct but it was the first time I’d seen them and it felt like deciphering the Rosetta Sone must have felt!

Text that reads: Cilla, The Frequent Flyer Known - and feared - throughout the cabin crew community, Cilla Black's in-flight attitude is the stuff of legend. Not only would she insist upon travelling first class, she'd demand seat 1A. That was only the first of many demands too - all of which were made through her PA, as Cilla didn't want to speak to any staff herself. The full nine yards too, not so much as a please or thank you. One flight attendant eventually grew so tired of her behaviour, that he leaned over to speak directly to her and uttered the immortal line: "I knew you couldn't sing, but I didn't know you couldn't fucking speak".
It would have been Cilla Black's 81st birthday today, so a good excuse as any to repost one of my favourite stories about her (from Popbitch of course)

It looked impossible. And it would be for an ordinary cat. But Glenn was no ordinary cat.
Will someone please think about the Pine Weasel?
What does it take, America? HE DOESN'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT HIMSELF! WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK CAN'T YOU SEE THAT??!!!
When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.
i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve
My latest blog, on Daphne & Celeste and how they survived the misogyny and violence of the music business to put out one truly great single: markjwray.com/2024/02/16/e...
And it’s bloody marvellous!
Remember when @maxtundra.com did an album with Daphne and Celeste? tidal.com/album/251612...
This cat is all of us, trying to get to the end of fucking January.
Walk in, fuck shit up, walk out.
