So late last night, shortly before I collapsed into my bed I noticed a few people on Twitter and Facebook mention that REM had decided to split. Its one of those things that kind of makes you feel both sad and happy, it makes you feel sad if like me your a fan of the band but also it kind of instantly takes you back to the reason you why you really like a band, you start to remember certain records and concerts. So it was quite nice to go to bed dreaming of watching REM at Glastonbury, many years ago.
When I heard last night that they had split up I guessed that they must have been going for at least 30 years and today after reading an article or two I see that I was right... 31 years to be precise. They've been going almost as long as me. I know a lot of people probably only know them from the mid nineties where they had some massive records but I actually really like their early stuff - definitely worth a listen.
