R.E.M. - Supernatural Superserious

R.E.M. is currently streaming the first single from their upcoming release Accelerate, which comes out April 1.
You can check out the track, “Supernatural Superseious”, on R.E.M.’s official site.
It’s a pretty standard and straight forward rock song, but it’s still sweet. I think it’s a catchy tune.
Last month the band shot the video for “Supernatural Superserious” in […]

Pearl Jam - Yield

This past Sunday, February 3, was a pretty big day…and I’m not talking about the Super Bowl.
It marked the 10th Anniversary of my favorite Pearl Jam album, Yield.
Released on February 3, 1998, Yield was the band’s fifth album and marked somewhat a return to the band’s more straight forward roots, following the huge success of Vitalogy […]

I really thought that Seven Mary Three had been done for […]
