R.E.M. - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight
Posted on: October 16, 2003 | Views: | Comment
With weirdly spinning lyrics about deadly snakes, Dr. Seuss, Nescafe, payphones and black-eyed peas--it all adds up to another bit of alluring, allusive pop by the lads from Athens G.A. Aided and abetted by one of their fave video directors, Peter Care ("Man on the Moon," "What's the Frequency Kenneth," "Electrolite"), R.E.M performs here in a strange shadowbox recording studio with images projected against colored screens as centrifuges whirl and strange flowers bloom. Whatever the heck it all means, though, it sounds great.
