  • "OH MY HEART" FEATURED IN UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA PSA

    A University of Georgia alumni group has produced a :30 public service announcement that will air during the school's televised sporting events beginning this fall. The theme of the PSA centers around the iconic Chapel Bell on the University's historic North Campus. The Chapel Bell has a storied history on the campus and is often rung following UGA football victories, weddings, completion of final exams, and other momentous occasions. The PSA's soundtrack is "Oh My Heart" from R.E.M.'s 2011 release COLLAPSE INTO NOW.

    When asked about the decision to participate in the PSA, Bertis said, "The enthusiasm of the filmmakers, the resonance of the song in the film, and the band's love and respect for Athens--those were all factors in our decisions. As alumni ourselves, we're proud of the PSA and feel the song really complements the film's emotion and imagery."

    Special thanks from all of us here at REMHQ to Mike Martin and his team for their excellent work on the video. Be sure to check it out at facebook.com/UGAchapelbell.


  • R.E.M. CONTRIBUTES TRACK TO "DOWNLOAD TO DONATE" FOR TSUNAMI AND EARTHQUAKE RELIEF

    The band has donated a live version of Man on the Moon, recorded at their 2005 concert in Tokyo, Japan, to "Download to Donate: Tsunami Relief" to support children and families in Japan following the devastating earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011, in the Tōhoku region. One hundred percent of the proceeds will be directed to Save the Children for the duration of the campaign, which runs through May 11. "Children are always the most vulnerable in any disaster," said Charles MacCormack, president and CEO of Save the Children. "We are grateful this partnership with Music For Relief will help address the immediate and ongoing needs of children and families impacted by this emergency."

    For a donation of $10 to the relief effort, supporters will receive the seventeen-song "Download to Donate" digital music compilation (tracklisting below). Click here to donate and get the songs (tracklisting is displayed at the link).

    Thanks for your help!
