Episode 25 (with Paul Chave): R.E.M. (Part 2)

That’s me in the corner, that’s me in the spot, light, losing my rank-igion! With the 80s done, it’s time for the Black Band T-Shirt chaps to go into R.E.M.’s glory years, covering Out of Time, Automatic For The People, Monster, New Adventures In Hi-Fi and Up. Our guest Paul Chave sticks with us with his spicy takes (including one of the best metaphors ever broadcast on this pod) and almost murdering Ollie with the spear of mirth under the theme tune. All of our favourite cuts plus our The Nicher The Better choices of favourite UK number ones of 1983 and shoutouts will be added to our Spotify Rank Bank playlist shortly after release, nestling in amongst the same from all our other episodes - shuffle this monster (wahey!) for a wonderful time: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7GZMXr0eHTICa0TcZ3AYsE?si=GDezS7QuTCOC0qnJ0yeA4w Join us in our final part for the remainder of their career, The Nicher The Better Top 5 & shoutouts - see you then!
