I just listened to the new REM album, Accelerate at iLike.com - they've got it up for streaming - and it's like a mixture of their '80s stuff, Monster, with a bit of Automatic For the People sprinkled on top. In other words, it rocks, and sounds nothing like their past few records. Sweet!

We've gotta move again. Grrr. But I'm not overly annoyed, because we're gonna get a small two bedroom place so I can, in the meantime at least, have a music room. Awesome. Ok, maybe that's not the primary reason, but it'll do for now!
