Volume 25, Track 2
“So. Central Rain (I’m Sorry)” by R.E.M. (1984) I was this close to picking “So. Central Rain” as the Pantheon Song entry for R.E.M. a little over a year ago. “Radio Free Europe” eventually won out, but I still found a way to work in a reference to this song in that post. Even though [...]
