News: R.E.M. Broke Up. Bigger News: R.E.M. Was Still Together.

R.E.M. announced today that they have broken up after 31 years together. “As lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band,” the band said in a statement on their official website. “We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished.”

Not that R.E.M. is a bad band. I like ‘em. I just had no idea they were even still together at all.

Go figure.
