REM on the Colbert Report - Supernatural Superserious

On Wednesday night, for the first time ever, Stephen Colbert had a band on the show, and he started right at the top with my beloved REM. Above, watch them tear through the lead single off Accelerate, Supernatural Superserious, the one that "sounds like REM" complete with jangly guitars, Mike Mills' sweet backing vocals, and muscular drumming for the first time since Bill left, courtesy of Bill Rieflin from industrial metal band Ministry (superseriously).

Scott and I talked baseball until most of the party guests had cleared out. And we actually remembered it the next day. That drunken convo turned into The Baseball Project , which also features REM's Peter Buck (who's in at least six bands I can think of) and Wynn's drummer of ten years (and recent wife) Linda Pitmon. This is a delightful song for anyone with a love of baseball. They name check a ton of players from the 60s and 70s. Who...
