Equation:
old-school R.E.M. idioms + new-school hip punk (ex, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Kills, The Liars, etc) + awesome rock-n-roll "Frank Black" rowdy guitar + angry homo lyrics = too close to homeI wept, I rocked, I did both again...sometimes at the same time
Finally, an album too me for me.

I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that I don't own, nor have I ever owned, an REM album. I feel like it's maybe too late for me to embrace them. It would be like deciding to suddenly become a fan of The Doors at age 30 or something.
I christen thee the Flaming Flamer, Clyde Squid.
