Get Back to Rockville: A REM Contest

Friday, October 05, 2007 By Mayer Danzig

Michael Stipe and REM are in an elite group of lyricists and songwriters. Sometimes oblique but always engaging, the band catalogue has captured listeners attention globally for more than 25 years.

The band will release a performance cd/dvd, the aptly titled “REM Live,” on October 16th. The show was recorded at Dublin’s Point Theater in February 2005. While the show leans heavily on recent material, it also includes hits like “The One I Love” and early gem “Don’t Go Back to Rockville.”

To celebrate the release, we’re raiding the Twangville General Store! Post a comment about your favorite REM lyric and you’ll be elgible to win a copy of “REM Live.” A winner will be chosen at random. Contest ends Thursday, October 11th at midnight ET.*

In anticipation of the release, enjoy a preview that includes the hits “Orange Crush” and “Man on the Moon.”

*By participating in this contest you agree to allow Twangville to forward your contact info to 820 Media and to post your name and city on our web site. We will never use your info for any other reason.
