That’s R.E.M. In The “Today” Spotlight
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The promotion machine behind R.E.M.’s new CD “Accelerate” only quickens.
“CBS Sunday Morning” did a profile of Athens’ indie-rock legends yesterday, and tomorrow — the day “Accelerate” hits stores — the threesome will make what NBC is billing as R.E.M.’s first morning show performance.
Did you see the “Sunday Morning” piece? If so, can you explain (perhaps) the staring contest singer Michael Stipe (above) engaged with the reporter? And on a musical note, from what you may have heard of “Accelerate”, do you think this is the resurrection Spin magazine and others are touting?
Oh yeah - there’s a bit more R.E.M. news on the CBS link above: Some of of the photographs shown during “Sunday Morning” were from “R.E.M.:Hello”, a book of David Belisle’s behind-the-scenes R.E.M. pictures with handwritten captions from Stipe - who also pens the introduction — Mike Mills and Peter Buck.
It’s due out June 1.
