For all you R.E.M. fans, here's a really cool short doc on the making of Automatic for the People. Hard to believe the album is 25 years old this year.

Was surprised to see Sharks exit in Round 2 along with the less surprising departure of Train Overnight and The Bastard.

With the end of the first round we say goodbye to Wild Mountain Honey, Freak Turbulence and As I Wind Down the Pines.

Eliminated Round 1
Wild Mountain Honey
Freak Turbulence
As I Wind Down the Pines

Eliminated Round 2
Train Overnight
The Bastard
Sharks

Vote for the song you believe to be the weakest on Music @ Work and after 48 hours, we will remove the two songs that have the most votes. As before, a song must have at least 10% of the vote in order to be removed otherwise it will carry forward into the following round.

The poll will end Tuesday at 11:28am Eastern.

Happy voting!

  Weakest Link Option

I am kinda loving the body of ideas we're accumulating about the Hip's work in these Weakest Link posts, & I'm wondering whether people would consider adding 'Coke Machine Glow' into the timeline of albums we discuss. I know it's not Hip per se, but I just think it comes at a really specific & important time in Gord's writing/performing career/life, & would love to hear what people have to say about how it does or doesn't fit in the Hip's trajectory, & especially Gord's songwriting trajectory etc.

Yays? Nays? Thoughts?

I find this to be one of the most vague songs on Introduce Yerself.

The only thing I can think of is that it's addressing the horror that comes when you get the news that you have a fatal illness and the ensuing health protocols, all of the information being thrown at him - "the dark brochures"...and then the "ahhhhhh" screams at the end.

Any thoughts?

Remember these guys?

They have a new album called "Quiet & Peace" coming out early next year (March 2nd). First single sounds great!
