acceleraaate.jpgR.E.M.’s Accelerate will stream on iLike, the iTunes-tracker-slash-Facebook-app that I uninstalled long ago, beginning on March 24. That’s a whole week before the album’s April 1 release date–and a week or so after it will likely leak out from Warner Music Group’s double-locked safe for really big, important albums. [Billboard]

    If this album is truly as good as buzz says it is, they should be streaming it all over the goddam internet. ‘Cuz gawd knows I ain’t paying for another R.E.M. album after getting burned the last 3 times.

    @extracrispy: Agreed wholeheartedly. I did see a video for the first single on FUSE the other day, and hot damn, it ain’t bad!

    Y’know what else ain’t bad? That album cover. It’s got a certain Document-crossed-with-Automatic vibe. Old-school in a good way.
