We’re joined by the fabulous Mike Mills, bassist, keyboardist and second vocalist from the legendary American rock band, R.E.M.. Crucial matters discussed include: Matt and Dan’s obsession with the band during their formative years; the anniversary of their incredible debut, Murmur; the many great reissues of their classic records; Mike’s work in the Big Star’s Third with Big Star drummer, Jody Stephens; Mike’s most recent collaboration with Jason Narducy in Split Single; the fertile music town of Athens, Georgia; and much more.
