The R.E.M. Mea Culpa Tour gets into full swing this month with a quick two-month jaunt around North America starting in Vancouver on May 23 and ending June 21 in Atlanta. From there, it's onto Europe until September.
Even when they were making noodle-limp, uber-lame albums, R.E.M.'s remained a superb live act. And now that they have a terrific, hard-rocking CD to take out on the road, R.E.M. circa 2008 is a must-see.
The band will also be making their first-ever appearance on the Austin City Limits PBS TV show this Saturday with a performance taped during March's SXSW festival. In the NYC area it is on Channel 21 at midnight. Make a pot of coffee (or if you are Michael Stipe, a soy latte.)
Here's an advance taste of "Supernatural Superserious" from the show. And you can see JM Stipe's melodic plea for relevance, "Hollow Man" on R.E.M.'s official site here. Belong.
