R.E.M.'s Manager Bertis Downs shared a Postcard from Zurich on REMHQ:

"Tonight the band plays its final show in Switzerland for this tour, with an appearance at Hallenstadion in Zurich, and if recent indications are any sign, it should be a fantastic show. The guys are playing better than ever and the setlist is still growing almost 60 shows into the tour (since May in Vancouver).

Just in the past week, new and old favorites have crept into the evening's program, from I Took Your Name to Just a Touch to, last night for the first time in a few years, She Just Wants To Be . . . . and songs like rarely-played South Central Rain and Sitting Still have made the occasional appearance as well, along with the staples of this tour like Orange Crush, Kenneth and the hauntingly gentle accoustic rendition of Let Me In, which done the campfire way is a far different animal than the 1995 Monster incarnation."

Peter Buck's Rickenbacker Returned!

This is from the REMHQ website:

"We are very, very thrilled to announce that Peter's prized Rickenbacker guitar was returned to the band by an anonymous source late yesterday. The guitar had been missing since September 9th after it disappeared from the stage following the band's concert in Helsinki, Finland.

With this sudden turn of events, Peter will now have the guitar back on stage with him at tonight's concert in Luxembourg. We wish to thank everyone who wrote in with their support and well wishes over the last ten days. Read the official press release: Peter Buck’s prized Rickenbacker guitar has been returned to R.E.M. by an anonymous source. The guitar has been an instrumental part of Peter’s arsenal both live and in the studio since 1982’s release of Chronic Town. Its loss had been well-documented in the past week since it went missing immediately after R.E.M.’s September 9th show in Helsinki, Finland. The guitar was returned to Peter in time for tonight's sold out show at the Rockhall, Esch-Sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, where the band is currently on the European leg of their acclaimed "Accelerate" tour. Peter Buck, visibly relieved, said: "It's great to have it back in my hands. I'm looking forward to playing it tonight in Luxembourg." Bertis Downs, R.E.M.'s manager said: "We were always hopeful it would turn up, and thanks to the efforts of a lot of people, we are thrilled to have it back in Peter's possession. We are grateful and very happy that it worked out this way."

Popsongs

Direct Paste from REMHQ


For the past year, Matthew Perpetua, host of popsongs.wordpress.com, has written his interpretation of virtually every song in the R.E.M. canon prior to March 2007. It was a formidable project which concluded on September 9th with Matt's interpretation, appropriately enough, of "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)." Though Perpetua promised his readers that he would eventually tackle the meaning of tracks from ACCELERATE at some point in 2009 after giving them time to gestate, he looked to be done with popsongs for now.

But lo and behold, a day after signing off, Matthew received a note that Michael was interested in answering questions from fans about the songs and lyrics. As of today, Matthew has posted the third of Michael's ongoing series of answers. It's fascinating stuff, no doubt, and if you've ever wondered about Michael's lyrics, now is your opportunity not only to read what he has had to say but to submit a question yourself.

To read the first, second, and third installments of Michael's responses, please click here.

Peter Buck's Rickenbaker stolen in Helsinki

This is an outrage your Honour! Peter' Buck's signature Rickenbacker guitar was stolen from the concert stage immediately following R.E.M.'s show in Helsinki, Finland.

Peter Buck playing the Rickenbacker for the last time?

This guitar is as famous for Peter as BB King's Lucille. It has been the staple of Peter's arsenal both live in concert and in the studio since the R.E.M. released the E.P. Chronic Town in 1982.

Needless to say, this instrument means a great deal to Peter and to R.E.M. They have moved to rename Helsinki, Helstinki.

The Rickenbacker is popular on many R.E.M. albums except Green - read why Peter's Rickenbaker gathered dust when they made Green.

REMHQ has put out a reward for the guitar "It is our sincere hope that whoever is responsible for the loss, or whoever has information which can help recover the guitar, will come forward to receive a generous reward, no questions asked."

Send information to fanclub@remtour.com or phone (001) 706 353-6689...

Happy Update:

This is from the REMHQ website:

"We are very, very thrilled to announce that Peter's prized Rickenbacker guitar was returned to the band by an anonymous source late yesterday. The guitar had been missing since September 9th after it disappeared from the stage following the band's concert in Helsinki, Finland.

Confessions of a Fanboy noted:

“Perfect Circle” in the encore is the main attraction here. That’s one of the band’s great achievements, that one. “Country Feedback” was also part of the encore. “Disturbance At The Heron House” and “Exhuming McCarthy” from Document got busted out during the main set, neither having been played extensively on this tour."
