Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped make my Ireland/UK tour special, meaningful and joyful. Especially Fernan and Rorie from Sonora Visions for putting the shows together. Thank you to equipment lenders, Lavinia Blackwall and Moore Marriott for support, and friends who came.

I’m obsessed with this new song by Lynn Blakey(Let’s Active) and Mike Mills (R.E.M.)

And listen for it on Stevie’s Coolest Songs.

I have to apologise for not posting R.E.M. lyrics lately.

The truth is that I’ve been listening to The Baseball Project! 🤣🤣🤣

Is that disloyal?

On this day in 1981, R.E.M. played Von Henmon’s in Columbia, South Carolina. “We came back from one tour and found that we’d only made $37,” remembered Peter. “So three of us got evicted. We said, ‘What are we going to do?’ So we got back in the van and went back on tour.”
