R.E.M. Rediscovers R.E.M.

This is a very interesting interview with Michael Stipe of R.E.M. He makes some interesting points about how you never know which of your songs will be popular.

Love this quote from Mike Mills:

"The fact is," Mills says, "that you never know what your best songs are. Losing my Religion is a five-minute song without a chorus where the main instrument is a mandolin — and it’s our biggest hit."
