We here at Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative are dealing with the consequences of R.E.M.’s announcement that they are  breaking up.  According to the band itself:

“To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band. We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening.”

We did enjoy listening.  Thank you R.E.M.
