Dead Letter Office

The Big Mates discuss liner notes, The Velvet Underground, being
nice, and Dead Letter Office by R.E.M.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their deep dive into the career
and discography of R.E.M. by exploring the collection of b-sides
they released in 1987. They talk about where each track came
from, the context surrounding the songs, and offer up analysis,
opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on
music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring
for art or critique, and everything in between.

They touch on the collection in general, whether b-sides should
be taken seriously, and whether or not R.E.M. are the band to do
that! They get to explore a range of moods along the way, from
soft country, to heavy metal pastiche, to classic rock covers,
and beyond... a must!

Why is this some people's favourite R.E.M. album? How can you
listen to this podcast being recorded live? How do you surf the
web? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out on Monday April 1st and will be a report
