Hace un tiempo les estuve hablando de R.E.M y su nueva producción que terminaron de grabar en Berlín hace ya un buen tiempo y que volverían a sus raíces . El disco, que será nada menos que el número 15 del grupo estadounidense, se tratará del sucesor de Accelerate que sonará, según estuvieron comentando, muy old school . El disco saldrá a la venta supuestamente en el 2011 y será producido por nada menos que Jacknifee Lee , quien ha trabajado anteriormente con grupos como U2, Snow Patrol o [...]

Filed under: News , New Music R.E.M. have been putting the final touches on its 15th studio album in a Nashville studio, with eyes on a 2011 release. Like its predecessor, 2008's 'Accelerate,' the forthcoming disc has been tracked in facilities around the globe with Grammy-winning producer Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol, Weezer).

STREAM: R.E.M. - "Throw Those Trolls Away" aka "When I Was Young" "Legacy" and "anniversary" edition releases seem to be the latest cash-in effort from the major labels and I've found these discs, in general, to be either spot-on or rubbish (with very little middle ground). Unfortunately, the reissue of R.E.M.'s third disc, Fables of the Reconstruction , falls into this later category. This two disc set includes a remastered version of Fables of the Reconstruction along with a second disc which contains fourteen [...]
The Golden Palominos were a fairly eclectic act that came together in 1981. I remember we played a song called "Boy (Go)" at The Rock of Boston WBCN (R.I.P.) from their Visions of Excess LP back in 1985. I took an instant liking to the song, probably because R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe was singing on it. I didn't go out and buy the record right away, but when it turned up in the used CD bin at The CD Store (R.I.P.) where I worked about a year later I grabbed it right away. I used to love that used CD bin. Number one, people [...]

The highlight of an evening of music sponsored by Electric Literature , the reunited group tore into their set with a ferociousness and unbridled joy that immediately reminded everyone in the room why this particular version of the Golden Palominos has been so loved and revered over the years.

Michael Stipe , who lays down the vocals for little outfit called R.E.M ., joins the ranks of YouTube auteurs everywhere with his release (?) of a five-part cinematic experience entitled "Tribute To YouTube 5 Year" (via SlicingUpEyeballs ). The clips were filmed while the band records their newest album in New Orleans. Each clip lasts about 30-60 seconds so the word "experience" may be hyperbolic, but then again? The title may signify the upcoming five year anniversary of Katrina? It may be a nod to YouTube's internet presence for five years now? It may also [...]

Yeah, so, Milli Vanilli really happened . What can I say? I was young, and naive... sigh. To help clean your brain from that last post, it's time, once again, to share a little bit of what I've been listening to over the past couple of weeks. It's been another great period of exploration for me, and I've been working hard to share things with you each day. I've decided that the site works best on a Monday to Friday schedule, and I hope that you've found it satisfying. Also, I hope that you've had a chance to try [...]
Collares hay muchísimos y prácticamente ninguno de ellos tiene que ver con la música. Pero qué pasaría si te dijera que Michael Stipe , cantante de R.E.M , diseñó uno que es una edición limitada y, además, tiene forma de cassette . Sí, muy retro y muy cool, exactamente como es Stipe.

My little brother has been trying for about a dozen songs now to best me by sending me something marvelous that I've never heard. He's far away living in Sydney with his Aussie girlfriend now, and I miss him terribly, so I was thrilled to let him win this latest incarnation of Stump The Sister. Joseph Arthur 's duet with R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe wended its way halfway around the world from Down Under to the Rocky Mountain State, and the more I've listened to it, the more it's grown on me [...]

Nicky Wire, the group's longtime unofficial mouthpiece, whose previous greatest hits have included suggesting to a 1994 Glastonbury audience t "build some more bypasses over this f------ s---hole" and intimating in 1992 that he hoped Michael Stipe might [...]
