Waking up this morning, I really didn't expect too write about a new video from the late, great R.E.M ., directed by Professor James Franco, starring Lindsay Lohan. I also never expected that our country would one day be writing an obituary for the Twinkie or celebrating the Cy Young victory of a knuckle ball-throwing New York Met. (Side note: If you're a Met fan, read this article .) With that said, here is that aforementioned video by Franco, starring Lohan, set to the sounds of R.E.M.'s "Blue", one of the tracks off the [...]
Artists Project Earth (APE) is an international organization that, according to their website, "has funded over 300 projects and awareness-raising initiatives around the world that combat climate change and develop local resilience and solutions to climate injustice – and gives emergency funding for natural disaster relief." Some of APE's projects have been collaborations with musicians ... Continue reading
Chris Thornley es un artista de Manchester que trabaja bajo el seudónimo de Raid71 y quien se dio a la tarea de crear una serie de portadas de libros en las que usa letras de canciones de The Smiths , todo con el clásico y muy particular estilo de los libros viejos de Penguin . Lo mejor del asunto es que hay prints a la venta en la tienda en línea de Hunting Bears . En la tienda también podrán encontrar posters inspirados en Beck, Radiohead, John Lennon, R.E.M, Nirvana, David Bowie y Rolling Stones.
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Pop Culture , Music Appreciation Getty Once upon a time, music fans had to actually pay for all their music, a phenomenon that peaked in the 1990s. The explosion of alt-rock left major labels awash in cash and on the hunt for "the next Nirvana ." A ton of terrible music was released in the process, much of which sold by the bucket load thanks to the labels tendency [...]
The sleepiest kimodo dragon in Las Vegas, dreaming of biting a tourist and tracking them to the buffet at Excalibur! The best live tracks from the latest reissues: Peter Gabriel - Shock The Monkey - And the news is breaking. R.E.M. - Little America (Live at Muziekcentrum Vredenburg, Utrecht, Holland) - I pledge allegiance.

Breeders, los primeros 3 de los Wipers, un poco de las Slits, el Generic Flipper , y hasta favoritos personales como Half Japanese, en fin.. La lista de Kurt es una maravilla. Llena de joyas atemporales y muchas otras que sólo podían pertenecer a la infame década de los noventa, este pedazo de papel ahora convertido en una imagen de 600 x 995 nos dice mucho de lo que pasaba por los oídos (y cabeza) de uno de los íconos más prominentes en la historia de la música.

R.E.M. : It’s The End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) [ purchase ] I’m sitting here in my house in suburban New York, unable to get to work because the trains aren’t running. It’s raining and windy and I’m watching the President of the United States addressing emergency issues sharing a split screen with a video of churning waves. So far, things are OK here, but it is early in what is supposed to be a massive, long lasting and dangerous storm. I’m working [...]
Amazon I was going to make this the first Sunday in almost a decade I didn't post a cover, but then I remembered that this selection from Where The Pyramid Meets Eye - the 1990 tribute album to Roky Erickson - existed and even though I used it three years ago , I don't care. Hallowe'en-themed songs are tougher to find than you might think. And in those three years, a lot has changed. R.E.M. , who at that time were coming off their celebrated return [...]
And I thought the early twentysomething Thai native I met last summer who couldn't find Malaysia, Thailand's neighbor to the south, on a map was bad. Today I had a brief chat with a 20-year-old guy from Sydney who just arrived in Bangkok for a backpacking adventure, and he brought geographical cluelessness to new depths. I was surprised when he told me that he's never been to Melbourne, which is a lot like being from New York City and never bothering to check out Boston, but it's not completely unfathomable. I presumed he at least knew that Melbourne was south [...]
I'm not going to talk about my October 19 radio show, other than this sentence and noting the playlist is below. Instead, I'm going to pump up the forthcoming October 26 show. But first, a little history behind next week's show. When I first moved to Mount Vernon, I purchased a 73 single on eBay of a Seattle band called Tullycraft. After winning the auction, I received a message from one Brett Sandstrom, who noted that he lived in the neighboring town of Sedro-Woolley. We were both a [...]
If you're a child of the '80s, you may remember one of the original Nickelodeon shows, Live Wire, a talk show for kids hosted by the irreverent Fred Newman that often featured musical performances. Our friends at Gothamist came across a few clips of R.E.M.'s appearance on Livewire in which they performed So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry) and Carnival of Sorts in 1983. Check it out... R.E.M. - So. Central Rain (Live on Livewire) R.E.M. - Carnival of [...]
Maybe it's the quiet and the rustling of the leaves outside the open windows of our treehouse living room. (the temperature is surprisingly mild) Maybe it's having spent some time checking out blogs counting down to Halloween. But it's just past midnight on a Saturday night and the hour is perfect for the glow eminating from the television screen to be from some old horror movie or sci-fi flick. On such a night - and at such a time in the night - thirty-years or so ago, the channel would be turned [...]
It's a familiar experience. There's that one mind-blowingly great album you just can't get enough of, an album of epic proportion. Then one day you learn that this beloved artist will be releasing a new album. A sense of dread-tinged anticipation overcomes you. Any potential trace of hopefulness that it just might live up to your expectations is overshadowed by the bleak probability of impending disappointment. It's not that all follow ups to great albums are necessarily bad, it's just that there's a certain discomfort in knowing that we're going to have to move on and adapt. That's the way [...]
Known for their loud-quiet-loud distortion and as a supporting column during grunge's prime, Dinosaur Jr. attracted a varied mix of ages to The Fillmore last Wednesday night.
"Are we losing touch? Definitely R.E.M" featuring Boby Limijaya 8 Horns Jazz Band, Jum'at tanggal 19 Oktober 2012 di @america Pacific Place lt 3 Jam 7 PM. gratis/tdk dipungut biaya.
In the wake of R.E.M's retirement, the band's guitarist Peter Buck has been anything but a restless retiree. As the guitarist continues performing with long-term side projects such as the Venus 3 and the Minus 5, he has also started the Todos Santos Music Festival in Baja, CA, the second of which is scheduled for this winter, and he recorded and released his first ever solo album - something he said would never happen. Recently, Buck was kind enough to take some time out for Consequence of Sound to answer [...]
