As a very few of you probably know (or, maybe, care), R.E.M. is releasing a new album in October. They’re streaming the entire thing at [Myspace.com](http://myspace.com/rem/). I think they’ll have it available until the official release date (Oct. 5, maybe?). The one annoying thing about it is that you can’t skip songs; it plays the whole thing from beginning to end, and if you interrupt it, it starts again at the beginning.
