R.E.M.: and then there were four

April Fool was cool in Athens, Georgia.

R.E.M.

R.E.M. played as a four piece last night in Athens, GA at the end of the Minus 5's set there. Reports from the scene indicate that local buzz was stating that R.E.M. would play, and over the course of the evening, the original four piece slowly reunited offstage as a predicate to their reuniting onstage. They played a slow version of Country Feedback before the night ended, with Bill Berry on bass. April 5, 2006 marks the band's 26th anniversary, and this seems like a nice run-up to that occasion.

My Life In The Bush of Ghosts: the missing track

My Life In The Bush of Ghosts

My Life In The Bush of Ghosts, the groundbreaking album by Brian Eno and David Byrne has been re-released, but not all of it. Weblog The Ten Thousand Things has more details about the missing track Qu'ran.

I am making Qu'ran available here for a limited time because I believe it to be one of the best tracks of this important part of 20th century music history.
