Like the most depressing YouTube tribute video in history, R.E.M.’s new single “debuts” tonight on Anderson Cooper 360, synched up to “footage from areas around the world where environmental crises are not just theories but are happening in real time.” Hey, it fits, considering they were the first band I ever liked that made me feel shitty for littering.

For years and years, there’s been some cryptic connection between Michael Stipe and Thom Yorke. I have to ask what it is, though I think I already know the answer.
@vectoroo:
Agreed, though I would argue the mid-mumble stage (Document to Hi-Fi) was the peak, because you could mostly make out what he was saying but it wasn’t AAA yet.
Someone please tell me I am not alone in enjoying Michael Stipe more, before he found the “confidence” to enunciate.
