R.E.M. on this Day

On this day in 2001, a celebration of twenty years of R.E.M. took place at the Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro, North Carolina. The show doubled as a benefit for Don Dixon, who was recovering from a heart attack. Mike joined The Mayflies USA onstage for a performance of ‘Toys in the Attic’.

The vocal arrangement the band and Chris Stamey worked out for "You and Me," the first song on Summertown, was an explicit tribute to the harmonies of The Beach Boys. Here's the isolated vocal version of that song. Rest in peace, Brian Wilson.

The Mayflies USA Album Release Show, with With Love
The Mayflies USA arrived on the post-indie-boom mid-90's Chapel Hill scene as an anomaly, playing tuneful, ragged rock once memorably described in Spin Magazine as "r-o-c-k like they don't make anymore... dreaming of the Replacements and Pure Prairie League and proud of it." Their debut album "Summertown" was released in 1999 to widespread acclaim as an instant modern power-pop classic, and they released two other well-regarded albums: 2000's The Pity List and 2002's Walki...
