Remakes: Strange

Sometimes I miss them. I always liked R. E. M.'s
Strange. Not a top favorite from their catalog, but
good in a mix. I always acquired my punk from
cassette copies from D. J. friends when we had no
money to spare on the "good" music because we spent
it on the latest Pop 12" remix for the money gigs.
I thought Strange was R. E. M.'s not knowing about Wire's original. Face it at that point Wire was Buzz, Buzzing in my eardrum. Michael Stipe didn't seem to be out of material. I just never really looked. So fast forward to the iPod/iTunes age when I have more cash. I am now acquiring the full albums and there it is an edgy Strange. Nice!
R. E. M. alt-pop (Michael's Nervous):
REM Strange
Wire Punk origins (Colin's nervous?):
Wire Strange
