12:54MikeHOST
One of my other all-time favorite bands has a live concert coming out from 1982, and that's the B-52s.
M
13:02MikeHOST
I think this is from the Mesopotamia, so their third record, kind of touring that record.
M
13:09MikeHOST
So it's like Mesopotamia, and then the first two albums, limited to 5,000 copies.
M
13:13MikeHOST
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.

But, you know, they play a lot from that first one.
S
19:59Steve CarlsonHOST
I had a question mark on that one as possible interest to it.

M
41:45Monica LewinskyHOST
Do you feel comfortable saying which song? Yeah,
M
41:46Michael StipeGUEST
it's Mesopotamia by the B-52s, produced by David Byrne.
M
41:51Michael StipeGUEST
It was an early EP that they did.
M
41:53Michael StipeGUEST
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.
M
42:21Michael StipeGUEST
And then you're left with...
M
42:22Monica LewinskyHOST
I'm going to have to listen to it right after.
M
42:24Michael StipeGUEST
Mesopotamia.
M
42:25Michael StipeGUEST
Great song, great band.
