These Days
In my opinion #LifesRichPageant is a pretty perfect album and this song just nails it, every time.
GeniusDotcom says "I wish to eat each one of you" - I'm sure the word is 'meet', which makes more sense.

Birdie in the hand
For life’s rich demand
The insurgency began
And you missed it
I looked for it and I found it
Miles, stand just proud
I’m glad you made me
Happy 40th birthday to Life’s Rich Pageant.

(6/6) Who knew the collision of the vintage R.E.M. sound with John Mellencamp’s producer (Don Gehman) would result in such a potent mix? R.E.M. writ large. Mammoth. Huge. Colossal.

(5/6) I always name Fables as my favorite but I could just as easily mention any of the first four, including a huge nod to Chronic Town. Such a fertile time for what would form the foundation for what would soon become (& remains) the favorite band of my lifetime.

(4/6) Also, the subversive quirkiness, which was also as evident in the album packaging as ever. Maybe the last R.E.M. album fully invested with the mythos of the I.R.S. years.

(3/6) Lifes Rich Pageant was a change but was not necessarily what I considered a radical one. Still, no other R.E.M. album sounds like it. There was a clarity and booming drum sound but the non sequitur nature of the lyrics and the jangle was still there.

(2/6) I’m not sure what came over me (or him) but without thinking about it too much, I exclaimed, “But they sound like the Byrds!” which was met with, “It sounds like somebody SHOT the Byrds!”

(4/4) Though I became a fan with Murmur in ‘83, it wasn’t until the Pageantry tour came to Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, NC in ‘86 that I saw them in concert for the first time. Let’s Active opened on Mitch Easter’s birthday, November 15.

(3/4) It would be several decades later before I’d purchase it on vinyl again when I found a used copy. I own three different versions on CD: the original album, The I.R.S. Years - Vintage 1986 (with six bonus tracks), and the 25th anniversary edition from 2011.

(2/4) That summer I made the mistake of leaving it in the back of my Toyota Corolla station wagon where it warped. Thankfully, I’d already recorded most of the songs onto a mixtape (see my “supper side” post).

@remhq.bsky.social Lifes Rich Pageant at 40 (dinner side)
(1/4) I was 23, almost 24 when Lifes Rich Pageant was released 40 years ago this month. I don’t remember where I bought it but most likely Camelot Music at Berkeley Mall in Goldsboro, NC.

I will hide and you will hide
And we shall hide together here
Underneath the bunkers in the low
I have water, I have rum
Wait for dawn and dawn shall come
Underneath the bunkers in the low
