Patti Smith's new song April Fool

05 April 2012 - 05:00 AM

On April Fools day April 1st. Patti sent an email around from her website about her new song.

Also on that day Michael Stipe reported on his tumblr about Patti's new song.

It's on remhq as well. Michael has rubbed it in that he already has her album which is of course on heavy rotation. :)

It's a great song and it will be on Patti's new album called Banga which will be released in June.

I'm looking forward to it.

Whitney Houston, Dies at 48

Too young to die. I wasn't a fan but I was surrounded by her music when I was a teenager because she was played in heavy rotation.

Another of the many famous people found dead in a hotel room.

Rail-trail project to bypass R.E.M. landmark

16 January 2012 - 07:46 AM

I'm not sure if this was posted or not.


ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Authorities working to turn a railroad into a trail say they will bypass a landmark trestle made famous by Georgia rock group R.E.M., which featured a photo of the train bridge on its "Murmur" album.
Officials tell the Athens Banner-Herald (http://bit.ly/uHfP3b) that they decided to reroute the rail-trail around the trestle due to the high cost of restoring it and its dilapidated condition.
Athens-Clarke County bought the trestle for $25,000 in 2000 after then-owner CSX Transportation partially tore it down, sparking an outcry from local preservationists and R.E.M. fans around the world.
A 2009 engineering study deemed the aging wooden trestle too unstable to support a trail. Since the trail will now go around it, authorities said the trestle will remain in its present condition for the time being.

Michael sang with Whicita Lineman last night

01 January 2012 - 05:35 PM

Michael was at Patti's New Years Eve show last night in NYC at the Bowery Ballroom. He sang Whichita Lineman. I had planned earlier in the year to go and see Patti do her birthday show and New Year's Eve show, but because of low finances I couldn't afford to go.

There is nothing on youtube yet as far as I know but here's a picture.
