It's been promised for months, and it's now online! The biggest update to the timelime since it started is now up online for your viewing pleasure. Massive thanks to Chris Hartstonge for doing this, he has tirelessly worked on this since before Christmas and has done an incredible job. Huge thanks to Tim Abbott as well for a huge amount of research. You guys are incredible! There's hundreds of updates for you to peruse now. I've sat in the background and cracked the whip

Enjoy everyone!

"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."

Very cool to see this updated. The guys did a great job on this.

Before I had a computer during the 1999 tour my best friend would bring home printouts of the setlists which were from the R.E.M. timeline. I still have so many of those printouts and I suppose I could recycle them but I don't have the heart to get rid of them.

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