  They have an early greatest hits, but not a collection of all the popular stuff.

  I present item 1A. 'Imitation of life' - "the greatest thing since bread came sliced". Erm, I'd like to just express my excitement about the impending release of some more real music - the first since U2 in January?

  will 5 years and a few weeks later, does this still stand, even if Mike Mills is walking around in circles suffering from a "Severe Ear Infection" which had lead to 2 gigs been cancelled in the uk... unlucky but ears are kinda vital for musicians, or am i being absurd? Their latest offerings, i feel, is not as good as their previous releases BUT is agreably listenable. bring on july 5th (or 7th) in Nottingham, kid and ringo* In conclusion, makeup aside, messrs stipe and co ARE truely the best live performers i have witnessed, i also wanted to bring this subject back up!

  I paid for half my ticket with bitter cold and disappointment. Could have been worth its weight in gold. Probably is, actually. Must check the gold market.
