This interview could be cut down to 4 minutes without the fuckin MTV flashy graphics inbetween each question.

Peter Buck and Mile Mills are recording new demos for a possible album. See the official R.E.M. website for details.

cool, i loved accelerate but i wish they would add in more of their key chords, they were kinda lacking in accelerate – the R.E.M. jangle was gone. Still amazing though.

ToulacAxeHand August 26, 2009 at 4:07 am

Aye, I missed that as well. But the fast-paced rock rythm from Peter Buck really accompanied Accelerate and it’s mirroring of Bush’s demise (which I think Michael Stipe was trying to put across).What makes Accelerate special is that it’s one of Stipe’s first non-autobiographical albums since Automatic for the People. Asides from Hollow Man, the other songs are very much narrative.

ILoveMikeyStipey August 26, 2009 at 4:28 am

yeah, accelerate was amazing for a variety of reasons, yet i still prefer the jangle of guitars that made them so orginal in the early days. Still, whatever they do im sure ill love it – allways do.

BarryBriercliffe August 26, 2009 at 5:39 am
