No one’s been messing with your devices! Each week Birthday Thursdays will now be seen here on The Elephant’s Trunk where I will feature someone from the world of music who is celebrating a birthday that day. There won’t be any chit chat from me, no facts and figures – just some great tunes (and an occasional surprise). Check it out right here every Thursday and enjoy the music

Born January 4, 1960 in Decatur, Georgia
This is R.E.M. “Losing My Religion”

I still kind of miss R.E.M. Another band that I’ve collected nearly all their 7″ & 12″ singles over the years. Even the early stuff.

They have a great sound and, as Clive pointed out, it wasn’t easy choosing just 3 videos for this post.

However did you manage to choose just three of their songs? I’ve been thinking of doing a post on them in my occasional Listen To The Band series and am having difficulty keeping it below ten!

It wasn’t easy!
When I was posting for the now defunct Rhythm Section, I kept the number of videos to three or four. This is just a carry-over.
Glad you enjoyed them!

R.E.M. are one of my favourite bands, so you could have played just about anything by them and I’d have enjoyed it!

A good idea for a feature! I’m sure they’ll be many people/ songs I am not yet acquainted with to discover.
Happy birthday to Michael Stipe!
