REM is really pulling out all the stops when it comes to promoting their 14th studio album Accelerate. The band will be headlining XM's "Offsite" with an hour of song performances from their new album, plus an in-depth interview with Michael Stipe, Mike Mills and Peter Buck.
They pulled a bit of an April Fools prank on Wednesday when REM "interrupted" six XM channels (Flight 26, XMU, Fred, Ethel, Lucy, and Squizz) around 5:15pm ET with a sneak preview of performances from the "Offsite" special.
Recorded in the band's hometown of Athens, GA, "REM Offsite" will air this Sunday, April 6th at 10pm ET on Ethel (ch 47). Offsite, which features conversations with and performances by current artists recorded on location across the country, airs weekly on Ethel.

If an REM tree fell in the woods, would anyone hear it?

Wow more fucking compelling content from XM. Hahah. Shit like this is why people are abandoning XM in droves to take up Sirius, and why XM is being taken over by Sirius.

Anonymous Coward --
Sirius is an embarrassment that desperately needs the merger to survive because of its strapped finances, subpar content, and inferior technology.
