R.E.M. won the 2008 Flagpole Best Album Award for their latest album release, Accelerate on Thursday night, beating a trio of stellar local releases: the Drive-By-Trucker's "Brighter Than Creation's Dark," Elf Power's "In a Cave" and The Whigs "Mission Control."
Chris Bilheimer who is R.E.M.'s long term Art Director proudly accepted the award on behalf of the Mike Mills and co as they were playing a concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
"The band wanted to be here tonight," said Chris Bilheimer, "but they booked Madison Square Garden and couldn't get their deposit back."
