Everyone has guilty pleasures. One of mine is always wanting to know what is going on with R.E.M. As an avid fan, I anxiously await their forthcoming full length, “Around the Sun.” To tide me and my kind over, the band has released the first single from their new album “Leaving New York,” on their Web site. You can listen to it here. I kind of wanted it for myself so I could throw it on my iPod. So I recorded it and put it in .m4a format. You can download a zipped version of it below.
Oh, and they announced who they’re touring with. Also check out Murmurs for more obsessed fan-type coverage.
EDIT:
“Leaving New York” is now available on the iTunes Music Store, and is slowly climbing their list of most downloaded songs. Apparently I’m not the only one who thinks it’s been long enough.
Click here to get to the song, but I warn you, it’s one of those links that opens in iTunes.
