R.E.M.

Time published a lengthy review of R.E.M.'s career retrospective Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982-2011 (the collection was released yesterday, btw). Time's review is 4 pages long (no, you can't view it as a single page) because they made comments about each of the album's 38 tracks. At first I thought this was a great idea (and jealous I didn't do it myself) but something got lost in the execution--the review gets annoying at times, but still, it's worth a click, even if just to check out other articles they've linked to. Wow, did I just review their review? Check out Annotated For The People: A Track By Track Look At The New R.E.M. Retrospective here.

By the way, Michael Stipe will be on Jimmy Fallon tonight.
