52 in 52: Week 4 - "Collapse Into Now"

Week of 11/2/14 - 11/8/14

Album from 2011

There was a bunch of stuff I thought about writing about this week, but I'm still somewhat limited by the fact that 2011 is still relatively recent, and anything from that year is going to be somewhat pricey, and there aren't going to be as many in actual stores. If I'm going to spend more than $15 on a record, I'm going to do it for one that I actually want to own.

So I made a list of albums from 2011 that I would both like to own and would like to write about: "Thank You, Happy Birthday" by Cage the Elephant, "Augustana" by Augustana, "Wasting Light" by Foo Fighters, "Collapse Into Now" by REM "Yes and Also Yes" by Mike Doughty, "The Whole Love" by Wilco, and "Birdy" by Birdy.

Of the two that I was able to find actual copies of, "Collapse Into Now" was much cheaper than "The Whole Love" (which was over $25), so this week I'm going to write about the last REM record.
