It was a pleasure, Duck’s Dugout, and thanks to every one who came out.

April 27, 1987: Dead Letter Office is released. Peter Buck had this to say about the collection: 'Listening to this album should be like browsing through a junkshop. Good hunting.' What's your favorite track?

Tweeps! I’ll be at Duck’s Dugout this Saturday, 4/27, selling my sports memorabilia to benefit my family charitable Foundation. There will be a Q&A, and some interesting items. More info in the video below.

This!!! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼!!! Tomorrow! @braves R.E.M. HQ

Ok, Tweeps, many of you have kindly asked about a link to donate to my family foundation. This (I hope) is the link to do so. Thank you all in advance from my family, and all the people and animals in NE GA who will benefit from your generosity.

“It might be as close as we came to being a four-piece rock band and I say that with no regret”: Michael Stipe on his favourite R.E.M. album loudersound.com/features/micha…

R.E.M. will be the ninth collective of three or more songwriters to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Seven of them are performing groups. The other two teams worked behind-the-scenes.

What went on stage left was of little concern to me, as I knew I didn’t have to worry about it being brilliant.

Everybody here comes from somewhere! 'Supernatural Superserious' was released as a 7' single on this day in 2008 as a #recordstoreday exclusive. The video, filmed in NYC, was directed by Vincent Moon.
