Here below some comments by the singer on her collaboration with Mills:
"Your track is a duet with REM’s Mike Mills – how did that come about?"
"I was working as a sound trainee at The Hospital Studio in Covent Garden in 2007, where REM mixed their penultimate album, which brings us back to the fairytales of our lives… MM’s vocals on the recording are so clever because they are both the memorising swamp I am lost in and the weighty anchor that holds me safe. And the latter quite literally in terms of the actual musical recording since I’d tried to capture the song as soon as it was conceived, resulting in times when it is barely vincible… Pianist Jools Scott is also exquisite in his piano accompaniment so I am able to wander with the in-discrepant footsteps of a child. And Harvey Brown, violist and violinist, glistens as the last sight of winter slips away".

Topics I've Started
Michael Stipe
04 April 2013 - 11:19 AM
The purpose of the thread is to post links to public appearances of Michael Stipe. Different art, film and cultural events where he participates everywhere around the world.
The first item I'm posting is from early March when Michael Stipe was part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony of a large geodesic dome installed by the New York Museum of Modern Art, MoMA in collaboration with Volkswagen. The dome, according to press reports, will serve as a community center / public programs hub over the next several months.
Stipe acompanied the MoMA PS1 director, Klaus Biesenbach as well as Benita von Maltzahn, head of Volkswagen's department for Culture and Society.

Entertainment Weekly: How did R.E.M.’s Peter Buck end up with a co-writing credit on “Black Book of Fear”?
Barrett Martin: Peter came to the studio when we did that first block of sessions in 1996. He had this riff that he brought to us, and then we arranged it into a song. The first four Mad Season shows were all done at the Crocodile in Seattle, which is the club that he and his wife owned. Peter saw those shows and he loved Mad Season. He loved the blues thing because he’s from the south and had grown up with that, and he just thought we were a great band. I was also doing a little work with him with R.E.M., and he said, “If you guys ever need a second guitar player or just want to jam, please call me.”
