From the Sound Opinions webpage:

Jim and Greg look back at the history and legacy of R.E.M. The alternative rockers announced their breakup after three decades.

but will they come to mourn R.E.M., or to bury them?

Just a reminder that R.E.M. will be featured on this weekend's episode of Sound Opinions. Click on the link for local listings.

"We were listening to the UNC radio (station) there and they were playing an R.E.M. song. I like R.E.M. fine, but at the end of it, the DJ says, 'Ya that was R.E.M., the sound of the new South'. I looked at my roommate and we said, Gawd, if that's the sound of the new South, I preferred it when it was on the skids. That's how we got the name."
- Rick Miller of Southern Culture on the Skids

This article isn't about the band breaking up because it was written in 2007. The ending of it however is very fitting.

What they gave music has had a remarkable and lasting impact on music and our lives as Athenians.”

The myth is not dead – it will outlast the steeple, the critics and the band’s lifetime. But rest assured that as long as there is Athens, there will always be R.E.M.

MS to Me: Where else could antelopes jump off tall buildings and submarines be fueled by melody?
