I’ll be blogging about my travels to D.C. and Brooklyn soon, but for now, I’m posting a song of the week in honor of R.E.M. throwing in the towel.

R.E.M. ruled the college radio waves when I was a wee lad at Salem State College (now University!!), spinning vinyl on ye olde WMWM, 91.7fm , Salem State College radio.

I was always looking for  decent collisions of hip-hop and something else to play on my show. And this song of the week, a kick-ass collab between former Rip, Rig and Panic lead and Buffalo Stance singer Neneh Cherry and R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe is a great example of what my shows sounded like:
