  Interesting comments Aaron.

Quite a few REM tracks remind me of Aeroplanes material (and vice versa),
guess its all part of the collective unconciousness. REM didnt do any
Aeroplanes tracks live as far as i know but they did join the band for
Breaking at the end of the set once or maybe twice. Also Stipe had a habit
of reading out a list of his favourite tunes of all time during one of 
their
songs, and at the Hammersmith gig i saw he included "What it Is" on that
list. Terrific! There was a malicious rumour (someone at the NME really
didnt like the band) that the tour agency made a mistake and it was really 
a
band called Blue Rodeo that REM wanted to support. But i dont believe it,
the two bands were perfect compliments. Incidentally, has anyone ever seen 
a
REM biog that mentions Michael Stipe's appearance on What it Is? I havent.
Why not?
