74 Resources Available On the Internet (R.E.M.)
USENET
* What rec.music.rem is on.
Other newsgroups that might be of interest to r.m.r regulars include:
alt.music.alternative (very busy group, be forewarned!);
lt.music.alternative.female (for all the R.E.M. fans also fans of Indigo
Girls and 10,000 Maniacs' Natalie Merchant); alt.guitar.tab or
rec.music.makers.* (several groups where you might find R.E.M.'s music
worked out by others).
EMAIL LIST-SERVER (reflector or digest)
With the demise of the MURMUR list, there currently exists no general email
forum to which you can subscribe to discuss R.E.M. The previous mailing
list organizer may be able to provide a list of former subscribers to
Murmur should someone really be interested in picking the job up.
There are, however, several lists dedicated to individual members of the
band, and for info on them you should check out the following sites:
* Mike Mills (OIC3MH) <http://www.csua.berkeley.edu:8000/~briank/>
* Michael Stipe (MLA = Mumbles Lovers Anonymous)
<http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~jgraham/mla/mlapage.html>
* Peter Buck (BUCKHEADS)
* Bill Berry (DATG)
* The whole band (REMarks)
All have a digest option and can be subscribed to by sending email to
majordomo@athens.net with the command syntax (where "listname" is the name
in parentheses above, and "username@domain.name" is your email address:
subscribe listname username@domain.name
or, for the digest version,
subscribe listname-digest username@domain.name
