This mornings commute is brought us by the letters R, E & M. Woke up with Orange Crush in my head. Must have been a weird dream. Anyhoo here is some R.E.M. my favorite band.

It’s Friday morning with Soul Asylums Hang Time. Originally on cassette back in high school, I listened to this relentlessly. I think it still holds up today.

Thursday morning with one of my R.E.M. bootlegs, sorry “import” whatever. This is a good one. A radio broadcast in Passaic, NJ back in 1984 at The Capitol Theater. This is one of my favorite shows and I have it in several formats. This pressing is clearer than my previous one.
So yea, R.E.M. really loud in the house.

This mornings commute is brought to you by the Letter D. Could have gone many ways but it’s DEVO B Stiff. I found this at Top Ten and sounds great. It’s a compilation of all the their B Stiff era singles.
Great stuff!

The Modern Lovers – The Modern Lovers
It's a tale as old as time itself, at least for me. Someone I know and whose taste I trust gushes endlessly over some musical genius. I pay such gushing little mind. Ten, 20 or 30 years later, I finally catch on to what they were raving out. More at:

Morphine – Bootleg Detroit
One more from Morphine – a really excellent document of their live performances, which by all accounts were electrifying. Listening to this, I'm now completely bummed I never even knew about Morphine, let alone had the chance to hear them.

Morphine – B-Sides and Otherwise
I talked about my late discovery of Morphine last time. I think I talk about my late discovery of someone every time. That's just how it is.
