I just had to. Hearing REM on the radio this morning (see the post below! ) made me so happy. I picked the baby up from her high chair, breakfast finished, and danced with her around the kitchen.
Several songs later, I put the baby down with some toys, pulled out the computer, and made an REM station on Pandora. Here it is, for any of you who need the smallest excuse to dance to music from your 20's. In the hours since, my work has been interrupted by memories of the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where I didn't see REM, but I did see the many other bands who made the rounds of southern college towns in their shadow, including the ineffable, life-changing Flat Duo Jets.
It's back to work for me, now. The babysitter is here only for twenty minutes more. Enjoy.
