Una de las noticias más tristes del año a nivel musical fue, sin lugar a dudas, la separación de R.E.M. que se trata de una de las bandas que mejor y más representó el rock pop con Michael Stipe a la cabeza.

El bajista de R.E.M , Mike Mills , declaró que no espera que Michael Stipe , cantante de la agrupación recientemente disuelta , lance un disco solista en el futuro cercano. Luego de que la banda anunciara su separación, tras 31 años juntos, Mills cree que el siguiente paso en la carrera artística de Stipe seerían otros proyectos como el arte o la fotografía, en lugar de seguir con la música. “ No creo que la música sea [...]

R.E.M.'s greatest-hits collection Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982- 2011 arrives next month, and it features the new single " We All Go Back To Where We Belong ," which the band recorded just before breaking up . The band has now posted two videos (or, in their parlance, "short films") for the song. Both videos are close-up black-and-white unbroken shots of their subjects, who sit there making facial expression that convey some sort of feeling or other. One has movie star Kirsten Dunst, and the other [...]

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone , the Radiohead frontman gushed about R.E.M. and talked about their influence on his stage persona.

Cuanto menos, sorprendido quedo al enterarme de que Thom Yorke , líder de Radiohead , tiene una muy buena relación de amistad con un grupo tan diferente como R.E.M. . Tal es su relación que Michael Stipe, líder de éstos últimos, avisó al británico de la separación del grupo antes de que nadie lo supiera. Como explica Yorke, las noticias de la separación no le pillaron de sorpresa ya que unos días antes Stipe le había comunicado personalmente, mediante un mensaje de texto SMS, [...]

Delving into the thirty year time capsule that was R.E.M.

R.E.M. announced their end last week and it's taken me until now to ponder that news. That alone is evidence of how much I'd lost touch of a band that, for a good half decade or so, was a fixture in my world. Now that I do reflect on the career of the Athens, Georgia quartet, I realize that R.E.M. was arguably the ultimate college rock act for me and, like a lot of people from that period of higher education, we simply went in separate directions, unable to maintain a once seemingly unbreakable connection. I'm [...]

R.E.M., c. 1983 Last Wednesday 21st September, R.E.M. announced that they are to split, after nearly 30 years of making music together. On their site, the band said, "To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band. We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening." We wanted to commemorate R.E.M. [...]

We are still reeling off of the devastation that REM's breakup has caused. We loved them until the last album. We were just jiving to "Uberlin" the other day. "Everybody Hurts" has been covered many times from acts like The Corrs to more. This one is in tribute to the band's great 31-year-old career . So sad. Related articles How R.E.M.

No siempre es fácil recordar cuándo fue la primera vez que escuchaste a una banda. Especialmente si el grupo en cuestión ha estado en activo por 31 años de vida, formando parte del paisaje musical de una manera tan contundente. ¿Cuál fue la primera canción que escuché de R.E.M? Honestamente no lo recuerdo. Estoy casi segura, por supuesto, de que la primera canción que los puso en mi mapa musical fue probablemente la misma que todos escuchamos allá por el año de 1991. Sin embargo, decir que con este tema (que ya nombraré más adelante así que no [...]

Uno de los grupos que realmente le dieron un significado auténtico a la palabra "indie", antes de que irónicamente se volviera una moda, dijeron adios tras una brillante carrera de más de 30 años en la que dejaron un legado imprescindible en el Rock. Hasta siempre R.E.M

Tweet At SGTMT, the splitting up of a band isn't big news. That R.E.M. have called it a day was met with but a shrug. R.E.M. have been ahead of their time, but then their time came and went and to call it a day is about right. In England, though, we have a habit of throwing the baby out with the bathwater and there seem to be people who have forgotten that R.E.M. ever wrote anything good. [...]

Today R.E.M announced that they are splitting up. For over three decades the group have been one of the most critically and commercially acclaimed rock bands on the planet, producing a whole string of brilliantly received albums.
