I mentioned both R.E.M. and Iggy Pop in the posting about Lloyd Cole and The Commotions yesterday. So here's something lifted from a b-side:-
mp3 : R.E.M. - The Passenger
It's a live rendition from a set performed for a special edition of Later With Jools Holland in October 1998 and was made available on the CD single At My Most Beautiful. Sadly it's proof that even the best of bands can fuck up covers..........
To help make up for it, here's a few more relative rarities from the Athens, Georgia beat-combo (although some of you will hate them......):-
mp3 : R.E.M - Radio Song (Tower Of Luv Bug Mix)
mp3 : R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) (Unplugged)
mp3 : R.E.M. - Finest Work Song (Lengthy Club Mix)
mp3 : R.E.M. - King Of Comedy (808 State Remix)
Happy Listening.
