Take a walk West Of The Fields this week as we listen to R.E.M.'s debut album Murmur! Widely considered one of the first acts in alt rock, learn how the Athens, Georgia band got their start on a $2 budget, overcame producer hardship on the original Catapult, and quickly rose to prominence beyond their wildest expectations thanks to hits like Radio Free Europe! We'll talk about Michael Stipe's unique lyric-writing style, packed with gibberish vowel sounds and loaded to the brim with references and mythology. We'll also examine his near-death experiences, learn who covered a traveler with yogurt, and discover why R.E.M. won't be there for us. Clap clap clap clap!
