ROIO of the Week [Recordings
of Indeterminate Origin]
Lost
For
the past five years, it has been tough. Especially for people. War, poverty,
earthquakes, floods, the Earth itself seemed at odds with its occupants.
It didn't help that the people at the top were making more money than
ever in human history. But this generation of super consumers sat silently,
watching it all in a 24-hr virtual world, the internet. What's a rock
star supposed to do?

R.E.M.
Royal
Albert Hall 2008 [no label 1CD]
Live
at The Royal Albert Hall, London, UK, March 24, 2008.
"That song is
the song we released on the internet [Final Straw], the week that our
country invaded Iraq which is what? Five years ago? Is that correct? Uh
and I read the news today, oh boy. When told 4,000 had died, Dick Cheney,
the vice-president of the United States said, 'They volunteered'."
Michael Stipe was
speaking at his band, R.E.M.'s one-off date to celebrate the birthday
of the Institute Of Contemporary Arts [ICA] held at the Royal Albert Hall
this week. After the comment, R.E.M. performed Losing My Religion. They
played a short set as part of four acts including openers Foals, The Duke
Spirit and Robyn Hitchcock. All profits from this show goes to the ICA.
R.E.M. chose this
show, broadcast by BBC Radio Two on March 25, 2008, to showcase their
latest album, Accelerate. Already spoken of by music critics as a return
to the indie sound of Out Of Time and the harder slice of life of Murmur.
Is it enough to motivate a new generation?
R.E.M. put on a great
show. Losing My Religion came across as caustic and dark. Stipe sounds
relaxed and was talkative. Perhaps some of Patti Smith's stage moves have
rubbed off. All the songs seemed speeded up which is great. R.E.M. are
a rock band after all. Accelerate seems like the album R.E.M. had to make
in a world like today's. Their contemporaries from the original indie
scene have all faded. Lost.
It will be harder
to start a movement to change society now. People are so disenchanted
with politics. But as in all movements, it has to start with one man,
then one group of men. It looks like [from the song titles of the new
album], R.E.M. are taking a tentative first step, making the connection
between real life and their music to try to find the way again.
Thanks to paul_b35_UK
for sharing this FM stereo recording. Excellent cover art was done by
Jamie Lochhead. The encore is cut as these tracks were broadcast separately.
The final song of the encore has yet to be broadcast.
