I’m sitting here doing nothing any more productive than listening to a podcasted edition of the Ray Foley Show from a week and a half ago, so I may as well occupy my weary fingers with this thing: writing about one of my favourite singers. Relevantly, that singer is the charming chirpy chanteuse Amber Rubarth, and she’s just released a cover of R.E.M’s “Losing My Religion”. It’s rather spiffing.
Artist name: R.E.M. Album name: Accelerate Label: Warner Bros Gender: Rock/Alternative Release date: April 1, 2008 ZMErating: 9/10 Website: www.remhq.com I used to love R.E.M.! Despite the fact that I never bought that ‘best band in the whole world’ crap, they were good; they were more than good, they were fantastic! They just brought this positive energy that was just captivating. Then they turned really political and stuff and so the past three albums dispelled…
Last week was great, with a lot of great new music to listen to, but this week’s even better. First up are the Athenians from R.E.M. and their highly anticipated new record Accelerate, which from the few samples we were privileged to listen to, sounds great and will undoubtedly erase the bad memories from their previous LP Around The Sun. Electronic music veteran and DJ guru, Moby, is also releasing new material, namely his eight…
[tag]R.E.M.[/tag] fans everywhere rejoice, for your favorite three piece band just released the video for Supernatural Superserious, the first single from the highly anticipated “Accelerate”. According to Michael Stipe, frontman, the single is a “geek anthem” about “terrifying, humiliating things that happened to us in our teenage years that follow us through life”, but the video doesn’t suggest that in any way. It just features scenes of the band playing live, most probably in a…
A lot of hype’s been revolving around the Athenian trio of late and with good reasons too, after all a new [tag]R.E.M.[/tag] album is always a good motive to celebrate, especially when their previous record was a total slump. Seems like I find reasons to post about R.E.M. week after week (just barely got over my Radiohead thing), this time it’s about their upcoming tour, alongside the fine lads from The National and Modest Mouse….
The 14th record, from the Athenian trio of [tag]R.E.M.[/tag], is closing in fast and after we’ve posted Accelerate’s tracklist, it’s now time for a first glimpse on how the album sounds, by sampling its first single “Supernatural Superserious.” How’s it like? Well let me start by saying it’s a heck of improvement, compared to their previous slump of a record, quite catchy actually towards excellent. Glad the boys found their whits and guitars again. You…

The legendary Athenian alt-rock trio of [tag]R.E.M.[/tag] have recently announced the title and release date of their forthcoming 14th LP. According to Billboard the album, recorded in Vancouver and Dublin and produced by Jacknife Lee, will be titled “Accelerate”, and should be out on April 1. Those of you who may still feel the bitter taste of R.E.M’s lethargic rhythm in the band’s previous album Around The Sun, can somewhat stay at ease, as the…
[tag]R.E.M.[/tag] is the kind of band which could bring people together. Their music has this weird and lovely ability to transform the plainest feelings and moods into poetry; they make music for the heart and mind. But they there are people who stopped listening to their music since Stipe made lyrics about politic. That is not the topic here. Politic is of no real interest and politic related tracks are not going to be discussed…
