MBF’s “Movie Life” in 3D!

Last week Chartattack premiered a video for one of our favourites, Michael Bernard Fitzgerald!

The video for “Movie Life” features MBF and friends over the course of a day in Calgary. When night falls, the group board a coach bus and put on 3D glasses. If you have any of your old school red & blue 3D glasses around, now is the time to pull them out - the rest of the video is in 3D! Super cool!

Visit Chartattack to watch the video and read their interview with Michael.

R.E.M.’S ‘FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION’ REMASTERED AND EXPANDED FOR 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

R.E.M. has teamed with Capitol for the July 13 release of an expanded 25th Anniversary 2CD and digital edition of the band’s 1985 album, Fables Of The Reconstruction. The new edition features the digitally remastered original album, plus 14 previously unreleased demo recordings, cut prior to the album’s studio sessions, including one long-sought track that has never been released. The commemorative release also adds insightful new liner notes by R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, with the 2CD package presented in a lift-top box with a poster and four postcards.  On the same date, the remastered original album will be released on 180-gram vinyl.

 

Fables Of The Reconstruction, recorded during the winter of 1985 in London, England, distant in geography, weather and culture from R.E.M.’s Athens, Georgia home, represented a musical step forward for the band and its members, vocalist Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.
