The notion of absence making the heart grow fonder was never better demonstrated with the world's recent rediscovery of REM . A band that most would agree had become less and less vital over recent years, all it took was a simple announcement of goodbye in September to send us scurrying back to those old records. Given their firm assurances that this really is the end of the road - no farewell tours, definitely no comeback - Part Lies... represents a final gesture. Even then it manages to charter new ground, the first compilation to gather together [...]
I've been pretty quiet on the subject of R.E.M.'s final album: the forty-track, quasi-greatest-hits compilation Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage: 1982-2011 . At first, I didn't really want to deal with the fact that this beloved band of mine was splitting. They have been the direct line through my musical history, and I honestly still feel pretty weird about contemplating a future without new R.E.M. in it. But for the moment, we've got NPR to thank for a preview of the forthcoming release. You can hear the whole thing, including new tracks "A Month [...]
It's been a bit slow around here, huh? Sorry about that! I've been teaching three classes, working on a research project, and dealing with the Zombie Dissertation From Hell "! I really do want to be a good blogger again... honest. But until that day, it's time for a quick recap of some of the stuff that has gone whizzing by in my absence. I hope you enjoy! Recently, John Darnielle took to Twitter to give us a new Mountain Goats song in the form of the excellent, lo-fi "Thucydides II-58." You can read [...]

Se Michael Stipe ha parlato chiaro smentendo ogni possibile idea di reiunion ("Non torneremo insieme, nemmeno per un tour. Non accadrà. È deciso.") ora ai fan degli R.E.M. non resta che consolarsi con il monumentale (40 canzoni, doppio CD) best-of dall'emblematico titolo " Part Lies,Part Heart,Part Truth,Part Garbage ". Di "We All Go Back To Where We Belong" - uno dei tre inediti - è già stato realizzato uno splendido video ( anzi, due ). Di "A Month Of Saturdays" non si sa ancora nulla, mentre ha iniziato a circolare in rete [...]

Você está preparado para sentir pela última vez a sensação de ouvir algo inédito do R.E.M. ? É difícil, definitivamente, mas também é tentador. A NPR liberou nessa manhã a coletânea Part Lies Part Heart Part Truth Part Garbage , retrospectiva caprichadíssima da carreira da banda de Athens, Georgia, para audição completa. Se a carreira da banda pode ser dividida em "antes e depois" do álbum Automatic for the people , a coletânea segue exatamente esse raciocínio ao transformar o primeiro disco em uma seleção de faixas que se inicia com Gardening [...]

R.E.M.'s career-spanning greatest-hits collection Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982- 2011 arrives in about a week, and it includes three new songs that the band recorded just before they decided to break up. We've already heard the single " We All Go Back To Where We Belong ." And now the entire two-disc collection is streaming at NPR, which means we finally get to hear "A Month Of Saturdays" and "Hallelujah," which could be the last two R.E.M. songs ever . Think about that . Read More...
Pese a que anunciaron su separación hace algunas semanas, la banda americana R.E.M. vuelve dentro de unos días con un recopilatorio muy especial. Muy especial porque recorre toda la carrera discográfica del grupo pero también porque es el último trabajo oficial, digamos que la firma que ratifica la separación, ya que además incluye varios temas nuevos. Ya os enseñamos los vídeos de "We All Go Back To Where We Belong" , uno de ellos, y hace unas horas la banda ha querido poner a disposición de cualquiera al que le interese [...]

Las novedades acerca de la separación del mítico grupo R.E.M. siguen surgiendo, después de que la banda anunciara su fin y la salida del compilatorio de grandes éxitos Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage (1982 – 2011) . Ahora, el frontman Michael Stipe suma otro capítulo más a la novela anunciando que hay muy pocas chances de que la banda vuelva a reunirse. En una entrevista con el programa inglés Newsnight , que se [...]
Title: "Drop It on the Stereo" Artist: Kid Savant Label: BLANK Records Released: 10/24/11 What to know: "Drop It on the Stereo" is Kid Savant's debut release. It was produced and recorded by multi-platinum engineer/producer Sylvia Massy (Prince, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M.) at RadioStar Studios in Weed, CA (yes, "Weed, CA" is a real place) and mixed by Alex Aldi (Passion Pit, Theophilus London, Tokyo Police Club).

"Call me Ishmael." "Four score and seven years ago..." "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Do I have your attention now? Good. Ah, the power of famous first words. They do more than reel in an audience. They live forever, in books, in speeches and in music , where an album's first impression might not always stick, but a powerful opening statement -- Track 1 to both the iTunes and CD generations -- grabs your attention and gives you reason to believe that [...]
Lo sciogliomento dei R.E.M. è definitivo, e non ci sarà mai nessuna reunion. A renderlo noto è l'ex-frontman Michael Stipe , che intervistato dalla BBC ha dichiarato: «Non torneremo insieme, nemmeno per un tour. Non accadrà. È deciso.» E ha poi aggiunto: «È una sensazione a metà fra il dolce e l'amaro, ma è stranamente liberatoria. E tutti noi sappiamo che abbiamo fatto la scelta giusta» La band si è sciolta lo scorso settembre dopo ben 31 anni di [...]
Es imposible no sentir un poco de nostalgia al presenciar los últimos momentos de R.E.M. (eso esperando que no se produzca alguna reunión monetaria en unos años), una banda que definitivamente ha musicalizado y acompañado numerosos instantes en la vida de muchos de nosotros en los últimos años. Como ustedes saben, luego de anunciar su separación la agrupación decidió editar un último lanzamiento en la forma de un recopilatorio llamado Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage: 1982- 2011 , el cual contiene, además de algunos de sus [...]
