gardening at night
The fine people over at REM fansite Murmurs have set up thankyouREM.com, where you can upload pictures and messages to thank the band for a quarter century of music.
In celebration, here's an mp3 from the second last time they swung through Vancouver, a date in support of their greatest hits cd. During the tour the band were taking requests via the internet, and "Nightswimming" was requested by a couple who played it as their wedding song. So, just as the sun had set on Thunderbird Stadium, Michael Stipe and Mike Mills played the Automatic for the People tune for "the first time in years."
download: REM - Nightswimming (live in Vancouver, 2003)
If you can't get your anniversary fix, FluxBlog has an mp3 of "Life and How to Live It" recorded on the same tour up for download.
now playing: REM w/ Patti Smith - E-Bow the Letter

Happy birthday REM! The band played their first ever show 25 years ago today in their hometown of Athens, Ga as the Twisted Kites.
