Springtime is around the corner! My daffodils are peeking out of the ground, its not painfully cold, and a new R.E.M. is coming April 1st. Rebirth indeed.
After completely enjoying the preview from the Dublin shows circulated last summer and the live REM cd/dvd my appetite is sufficiently whetted for new material. The new CD Accelerate produced by Jacknife Lee who re-energized U2 with their last colassal release, sounds like has done the same with the boys from Athens, GA.
For your first real taste of it, check out the video here http://www.amazon.com/gp/mpd/permalink/m1BCDCAO844O72:m6DURP8KF8DU3
or just go to itunes and download it already. Its fun, it sounds like the son of "Pageant" and "Fables," its got great Mike Mills harmony, and best of all, it has a summer camp reference.

Speaking of R.E.M. - and related to your blog name - there's actually a tribute album called Finest Worksongs of Athens, GA bands playing songs live from a show in September 2006. (R.E.M. actually popped in and played 2 songs with Bill Berry and stuck around to perform with other bands).
Check out finestworksongs.com.
(ACROSENBERG, if you're interested, I'll send you a copy since you share names. I would've e-mailed in lieu of a post, but couldn't find an address.)
