Hello friends! It’s been a while since I last filmed some R.E.M. piano covers, so I thought it would be cool to pair up a really old song with a brand new one. Shall we start with the new one first? Okay! To celebrate the fact that Collapse Into Now hits the racks in less [...]

It is 17 December, so it’s time to wish our favourite bassist, R.E.M.’s Michael Edward Mills a very Please leave your messages for Mike in the comments below, and we will forward them to him!

No news lately, so I thought I should entertain you with more vintage R.E.M. videos uploaded by my Youtube pal PeterBuckRocks. The first, unfortunately incomplete but still cool clip dates from 1983, shortly after the release of the band’s legendary first LP Murmur. The chatty duo of Peter Buck and Mike Mills were invited to [...]

Here’s a nice treat for all R.E.M. fans. One of my friends @ Youtube, who goes by the name of PeterBuckRocks, has a cool stash of rare old videos of Mr. Peter Buck, Mr. Mike Mills and the rest of the band. Since the channel is rather new, very few people have seen the vids, [...]

Question: What happens when you put two chirpy, chatty Sagittarians on a cruise ship and confront them with a bunch of journalists? Answer: Mayhem?! Well, almost! As y’all know, back in the 1980s, the camera-shy Michael Stipe and Bill Berry avoided the journalists whenever they could, and as a result, Peter Buck and Mike Mills [...]

As y’all already know, in the MMT universe, no news = more site updates. Thus, many thanks to the awesomely efficient Karin, who has retyped two more 1987 interviews for our Press Archive: the first interview features Mike Mills solo, and for the second, Mike is joined by Peter Buck and Bill Berry (plus a [...]

Our gallery of photos from R.E.M.’s 2008 Accelerate world tour has just been updated with over 60 photos of Mike Mills and his R.E.M. bandmates; the images were taken by Oliver a.k.a.
