Pop Songs 07
 This blog has a bold and simple goal: to "write about every R.E.M. song, eventually." Since its launch in March, Pop Songs 07 has gone about its task with candor and seeming ease. The brief posts take on song after song from R.E.M.'s oeuvre, frequently delving into the group's history, surfacing quotes from Michael Stipe on a particular tune's origins, or refuting popular notions of a track's great success or lack thereof. The pop maven behind the site clearly adores the band, but he (or she?) isn't afraid to venture an opinion. One post asks, "Seriously now, were they even trying with "I'll Take the Rain"?" Another comments, "It's pretty clear that an entire album of this sort of thing would've been rather ill-advised." The Web's R.E.M. community has responded. Some of the posts have garnered up to 100 comments, many of them glowing with pleasure. Michael Stipe, we're just waiting for you to weigh in.
