Speaking of R.E.M...

The band is currently working on it's 14th studio album, and is in the midst of a five-night stint of audience-attended working rehearsals in Dublin. After taking a break on Monday, the band will play the three remaining rehearsals starting this evening. These are the only live appearances R.E.M. is scheduled to make this year.

A special website/blog has been set up -- remdublin.com. For all of your other R.E.M. related needs, their official website is remhq.com, and their MySpace is here.
