Drivin' N Cryin' R.E.M. tribute

I've been listening to this new Drivin 'N Cryin' EP for a couple of days and liking it in general, but especially the song that references pretty much ever R.E.M. song ever, which is called, oddly enough, "R.E.M."

REM reduxe

Not to go all old fart on you, but I have been really enjoying the two-disc reissue of REM’s Murmur, which Bill got me for Christmas this year. It’s been remixed to give more equal weighting to all the instruments (you can hear the bass), and there’s a second live disc from right around the time of release. I still probably like Reckoning a little better, but this is good stuff.
