R.E.M. have titled their forthcoming album -- the follow-up to 2004's 'Around the Sun' -- 'Accelerate.' The recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees teamed with producer Jacknife Lee (Snow Patrol, Bloc Party) for their 14th effort, due in April."Let me tell you a secret," frontman Michael Stipe said at a December 6 charity auction in New York. "We have a great f---ing record in the bag. It's a big change."
Among the final cuts are 'I'm Gonna DJ,' 'Mr. Richards' and 'Staring Down the Barrel of Middle Distance.' Another new tune, 'Until the Day Is Done,' debuted on 'Anderson Cooper 360' in October. That song served soundtrack to the network's 'Planet in Peril' series.

The R.E.M band is one of my favourite bands. How could we neglect the smoothness found in their music. The band has its own style and its audience. And I’m one of thousands of people who love this band’s style. And this is remarkable in their concerts where it becomes so hard to get a ticket and prices become so high. Lately, a friend has recommended me a site where to compare ticket prices for free and I find it a great idea because this way one could look for the cheapest prices offered by ticket brokers.

You may not like the band but for me it’s different.
