Beck Did It Better

96. R.E.M.: Automatic For the People


Listen Later

For all you idiots who have been listening to the last 94 episodes, this is our Home Improvement episode, this is where we're at! More power. For all you new listeners that are here for the music, quit your whiffing and start your sniffing, because this is the best podcast about R.E.M. and the 95th greatest album of all time, Automatic for the People.

However, before we get to the album there was some hanky panky Lovecraft going on when we discussed the best stone fruits, outdoor concert etiquette, and how Beck Did it Better has become the most popular podcast on the Samsung Free App. We also share some pizza hot take and bakes addressing the worst kind of pizza, party cuts, and small sausage issues.
Then at (51:00) we took a walk around a misty swamp and Michael Stipe popped out so we decided to talk about R.E.M.'s melancholy alternative rock album, Automatic for the People. We discuss how the mood of this album diverged from R.E.M.'s prior albums, the most perfect song ever, and skinny dipping with R.W. Discoballs. We also run down the best rock songs with drum machines in our sneaky beat of the week.
Call or text 802 277 BECK.  Don't be a brat!You can email us at [email protected] follow us on our Twitter and Instagram @beckdiditbetter and feel free to leave a review on your favorite podcast app.Please mention feet if you do review the show. If we can get "ROSIE LOVES FEET" to be something that is searchable online, I feel like this will all be worth it. 
Next week your disposable heroes will be twisting your minds and smashing your dreams when we become the best Metallica podcast and welcome you home to our sanitarium of thrash metal and talk Master of Puppets.
