This blog is eleven years old today. Somehow I had the presence of mind to start it on New Year's Day which makes remembering when it's birthday is easy even if some years I've been a tad fuzzy headed when waking up to it. Not so much of a problem today.
Back in November I posted 11 Years by The Wolfgang Press (a pair of Sabres Of Paradise remixes of their song) so there's not much point posting them again so soon. I've got this pair of elevens instead, the first from Pete Wylie in 1987, a soaring, anthemic love song with it's roots way back in the blues and the slums of New York in the late 19th century
This one is the so called Eleventh Untitled Song from R.E.M.'s major label debut Green back in 1989. The musicians swapped instruments for this, Pete Buck playing drums and drummer Bill Berry playing guitar. Stipe sings his heart out, a song about missing someone while being away. It's simple and direct and one of their most affecting songs.
Happy new year.

Happy anniversary Swiss, thanks for sharing.
Well done Adam! Thank you again for so much enjoyment over the year and especially in 2020. Happy Anniversary!!
Thanks everyone. More to come...
Well played, Adam! I started around the same time but really thought the writing was on the wall earlier this year with all this New Blogger nonsense; turns out it was nothing more alarming than Y2K (though it did have me spooked at the time, I don't mind telling you).
Well done for a blog that continues to innovate and excite.
Happy belated birthday to Bagging Area. May the amazing run of interesting posts continue far into the future.
