About Nicholas Pemberton Expertise I have been an R.E.M. fan for at least 7 years now. I have all their LPs, over 30 singles, 7 videos, and 5 books, so I am sure that I can answer any question related to the music of REM itself. I also am sort of familiar with REM band bios, so I most likely can answer any question about a band member.
Experience I am very familiar with the work of R.E.M. I have read several books and articles about them. I also frequent the different music news sites to get up to date information on what they are working on. I have been an expert on expertcentral.com, and have successfully answered every question asked of me.
Organizations I am a member of the R.E.M. fanclub. I am also on a really good R.E.M. list group. I was also an expert on expertcentral.com.
Publications No where.
Education/Credentials Some college.
Awards and Honors American Legion Award in eighth grade, but that has nothing to do with R.E.M.
Expert: Nicholas Pemberton Date: 10/28/2004 Subject: XTC beef with REM?
Question hi, i'm not so sure if this subject even exists, but I thought i read somewhere that the band XTC expressed dislike for REM's music. do you know anything about this?
thanks,
jonathan
Answer I have never heard anything about XTC having beef with R.E.M. I wasn't even sure that XTC was still around. I do now that if you do watch the Starsuckers, INC. video by Nine Inch Nails, Michael Stipes picture appears on a plate at a carnival pitch and toss game and needless to say the plate is broken. If you're looking for beef with R.E.M., I don't know about XTC, but you may want to look in the direction of NIN.
