REM: Man-Sized Wreath video + song

In keeping with its theme of giving fans an advance peek of everything related to its latest album "Accelerate," best-selling rock band R.E.M. aired footage from the forthcoming video of its new single, "Man-Sized Wreath" at the band's sold-out show at Madison Square Garden on June 19th. The video was directed by the Toronto-based Crush Inc., who most recently directed the video for R.E.M.'s second single "Hollow Man."
"Process Transparency is the catchphrase I've used throughout 'Accelerate,' and it's become our guiding principle," says R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe. "From the Dublin rehearsals up through streaming the album pre-release, to the various websites we've launched enabling participation, we've chosen to flip the tables and make our process visible to the world. This demystifies without crushing mystery or steering focus. Creativity exists within all of us; at the same time it's mercurial; we all know that. Technology allows R.E.M. to share how we do it; it feels more real, more honest, more immediate. It's where I'm at now. We all are." We gave "Man-Sized Wreath" music video by REM a listen and yeah, we like it. Let's see if it will 'grow' on us. (June, 2008) Ahh look a song which should have received more attention. A pity...
