One of my other all-time favorite bands has a live concert coming out from 1982, and that's the B-52s.
MikeHOST
13:02
I think this is from the Mesopotamia, so their third record, kind of touring that record.
MikeHOST
13:09
So it's like Mesopotamia, and then the first two albums, limited to 5,000 copies.
MikeHOST
13:13
So what is that, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7? And there'll probably be a few more, which is more than I did for the actual record store day.
MikeHOST
13:21

19:55
Mesopotamia I didn't much care for.
Steve CarlsonHOST

Michael StipeGUEST

it's Mesopotamia by the B-52s, produced by David Byrne.
Michael StipeGUEST
41:51
It was an early EP that they did.
Michael StipeGUEST
41:53
The thing about that song – There's a melody that goes right through the whole song, but it's not a single person or a single instrument creating the melody.
Michael StipeGUEST
42:21
And then you're left with...
Monica LewinskyHOST
42:22
I'm going to have to listen to it right after.
Michael StipeGUEST
42:24
Mesopotamia.
Michael StipeGUEST
42:25
Great song, great band.
