Last week, R.E.M. was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, and ex-drummer Bill Berry rejoined the band for a three-song set.

Good to see them back together for at least a little while.I also happened to miss this article in which Mike Mills says that the next R.E.M. record will rock more, which is certainly good news.
Here is a review of the new R.E.M. compilation I Feel Fine.
