44 years ago these two guys met in this very record store and formed a band. All these years, tours, awards, songs and ups/downs later, here they are again. A friendship that started with a love of music continues to this day. May we all be so lucky. /@rem

Stipe gestured and threw this to me after the band opened with Fall On Me. I caught it and had it framed with the ticket stub. Patti Smith opened. Convinced it was a thank you for being (sadly) one of the few front row ticket holders to sing along and dance to all her songs. SPAC. 9/8/99.

I spent the last year working with all four band members to turn the sound waves of some of their songs into these pieces of art! They signed each one and we're releasing them to raise money for charity. Wanted to share with all the fellow fans

This CD came free with an Uncut Magazine R.E.M. special, somewhere around 2005. All songs were picked by Mike Mills (Stipe and Buck also made their own ones). I think there are very few albums that have influenced my music taste quite as much as this free CD.
