[ Nice Dream ] Demo & [ Nice Dream] Live
I recall getting tickets to see R.E.M with Radiohead opening and being disappointed. I said to myself "Those one hit wonders are opening?". Imagine my fate when I saw Radiohead open for R.E.M two nights in a row and experience a future favorite album as a live show first. "Fake Plastic Trees" making it to the "Clueless" soundtrack could only be considered a good thing regardless of what Alicia Silverstone said about it in the movie.
"The Bends was many things, but it wasn't really *chirpy* was it? It
was more like a darkness lumbering over the horizon with gun turrets
strafing the Britpop hordes with misery. Er, sorry. Got a bit carried
away there." - Colin
"We wanted to make this new record a year and a half ago but the U.S.
success of 'Creep' kept us from going into the studio. The delay added
a seasoned street spirit that probably would not have been there if we
had recorded it earlier. It's a lot more relaxed than our first
record." - Colin { source }
