New REM single, return to jangleville. This isn't really a return to jangleville; it's fuzzy late-model Buck strapped to a Life's Rich Pageant kinda groove. When was the last time REM mattered?

For me they last made me take notice with "Imitation of Life"...2001.

New song is kinda catchy but nothing great.

Around 1991 when R.E.M spread their legs and became big corporate whores.

Two shows in NY in June: Jones Beach and a "Venue TBA." They're touring with The National and Modest Mouse.

I've been trying to figure out what the song --particularly, Mills' sweet background singing -- reminds me of. Then while jogging tonight I realized I'd stopped hearing this new REM song in my head and instead was:

singin' wiiiiiild, fire
singin' wiiiiiild, fire
singin' wi-i-i-i-i, i-i, i-i-ld, fire!
