It was great to see Bill on stage with Howl Owl Howl and @millsish.bsky.social at the Georgia Theatre Friday night. Thanks to @karenryanphoto.bsky.social for the photos!

On this day in 1982, R.E.M. played the Opera House in Lawrence, Kansas, supported by Peter Holsapple. ‘7 Chinese Bros.’ was performed live for the first known time.

On this day 30 years ago, the band play the North Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, South Carolina, and recorded ‘The Wake-Up Bomb’ as used on New Adventures in Hi-Fi.

Happy 71st Birthday to Mitch Easter! He also produced R.E.M.’s early albums.

Patti Smith’s vocal on this is wonderful and haunting. But only now do I consider what this lyric means. This was the end of R.E.M. and the clock had stuck midnight. Beautiful

A couple of Ed Colver photos taken around this time in 1983. “Shot on Santa Fe and Palmetto next to the Nate Starkman & Sons building, where Independent Project had their office and record label," he said.

Your feet are going to be on the ground, your head is there to move you around. ⚡️37 years of the band’s sixth studio album, Green 💚

On this day 40 years ago, Fables of the Reconstruction was voted Album of the Year at the College Media Journal Awards in New York City. @millsish.bsky.social thanked college radio and the alternative scene, "without which most of the great rock'n'roll of today would never be heard by mortal ears."

On this day in 1992, ‘Man on the Moon’ was released in the U.S. as the second single off Automatic for the People, with ‘New Orleans Instrumental No.2’ as the B-side on both the 7” and CD versions.

It was a great show. I'm glad I left the house tonight!

On this day in 1983, R.E.M. recorded 23 demos with sometime producer of Neil Young, Elliot Mazer. The band enjoyed the session so much that they invited Mazer to work with Mitch Easter and Don Dixon on its new album, but it was later agreed that having three producers might do more harm than good.

Spotted in the Rock Hall program! Thanks to Lenny Waronker from R.E.M. ♥️

Happy birthday, Green! @remhq.bsky.social 's sixth studio album was released this week in November 1988. Here, Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills talk us through the band's greatest, Green-and-beyond singles...

From the venerable UNCUT way back in 2003, a selective critical listing of the band’s mid and later-period “singles” (1988-2001). Particularly fun to see the guys’ realtime reactions to some of these songs. www.uncut.co.uk/features/lis...

Green, the band’s 6th studio album, was released this week in November 1988. What’s your favorite song on the album?

On this day in 1988, R.E.M. released 'Green.' Their first major-label album brought jangly guitars, political spirit, and songs like "Stand" and "Orange Crush" that turned college rock into arena anthems.

On this day in 1988, Green was released as the band's first album with Warner Bros.

On this day 30 years ago, R.E.M. played the Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee. During soundcheck, the band recorded most of ‘Bittersweet Me’ for later inclusion on New Adventures in Hi-Fi. "We played it live for eight months, but Michael finished it really late in the recording process." - Peter

On this day in 1981, R.E.M. played Fridays in Greensboro, North Carolina. The concert, minus the encore, was featured on the bootleg T.G.I.F. ‘Wolves, Lower’ was performed live for the first known time with lyrics.

On this day in 1982, the band played Tupelo’s Tavern in New Orleans. “Alex Chilton [of Big Star] was the janitor there and he went in our dressing room, drank every single beer that was there while we were on stage, and then insulted us afterwards,” Peter explained to David Cavanagh in 1994.

Like all of Mike Mills’ side projects, Howl Owl Howl is a bunch of really talented friends just having a blast on stage. They played their own stuff, plus a few hits from their “other” bands, and they’re all so damn good it worked.

There’s extra juice in the room when a new band plays its second-ever show, as Howl Owl Howl (Hootie’s Darius Rucker, R.E.M.’s Mike Mills, Black Crowes’ Steve Gorman) did 11/4/25 at Metro Chicago.
