That's a must-buy!

I was just spinning Collapse into Now on the weekend and thinking how great that one is for a final album. I also got a bit nostalgic thinking we would be due for some new REM this year if they were still active as they were on a 3-year cycle.

I hope this unplugged set isn't incredibly scarce.

Me three.

My fingers are still crossed for some kind of vault release in the near future--preferably that box set Peter Buck was always talking about. I've been anxious to hear "The Devil Rides Backwards On a Horse Called Maybe" for years.

Does anyone know if there is a similar post-2004 rarities collection around? Or at least a collection of fan-club single tracks a la the many PJ ones posted on blogs etc?...
So no one knows of a post-2004 supplement to this? Such a great collection; I'd be interested to see what other stuff is out there from the last (not quite a) decade.

I have some instrumental that was attached to Supernatural Superserious at home somewhere. That's it (that I know of)

The 91 unplugged may have my favorite versions of a few of those songs.

I wish red mosquito was a joint pearl jam/REM board. I have so much love to give.

The 2001 unplugged has my favourite version of Country Feedback - that take is just sublime!

That version of Fall on Me is one of my favorite things ever, I rarely listen to the album version anymore. Disturbance at the heron house also sounds really good, IMO.
