Lost and Found Video - Hindu Love Gods
Today's edition of the Lost and Found Video is from Hindu Love Gods, a supergroup of sorts that consisted of Warren Zevon and three-fourths of R.E.M.: Bill Berry, Mike Mills, and Peter Buck. According to Wikipedia, the band released a single entitled Narrator in 1984 that didn't get much notice. Then in 1987, while Berry, Mills, and Buck were playing on Zevon's 1987 album Sentimental Hygiene, the four participated in what was rumored to be a drunken, late night recording session that resulted in 10 tracks -- all covers, and mostly blues. The album was apparently never intended to see the light of day, but ended up as a self-titled 1990 release.
Band update: This will be a brief one as there are no surprises to reveal: Warren Zevon passed away in 2003 (RIP), Mike Mills and Peter Buck are still with R.E.M., and Bill Berry left R.E.M. to pursue a life of farming, golfing, and parenting.
