Lindsay Lohan Is In R.E.M.’s Final Music Video
James Franco directed the clip for “Blue,” a song that features vocals by Patti Smith.
R.E.M. recruited a bunch of their friends and favorite artists to make videos for all of the songs on their final album, Collapse into Now. Most of the clips came out around the time that record was released in early 2011, but James Franco’s short film for the album’s final song, “Blue,” was released yesterday. James Franco is a very busy dude, so it…took a while. Maybe that had more to do with finding a way to get Lindsay Lohan to appear in the video and less to do with Franco’s legendarily hectic schedule. He never got around to making a promised video for another song on the record, “That Someone Is You,” but now we have reason to believe he may eventually finish it.
The song features Patti Smith on guest vocals. It was her second appearance on an R.E.M. track. She also sang on “E-Bow the Letter,” the lead single from their amazing, underrated record New Adventures in Hi-Fi back in 1996.

dvdsky 6 months agoTo those that think the song sucks-you need to hear it in context. Alone, it has nowhere the emotional impact it gives as it does when listening to the album in it’s entirety. It’s the albums “closer” that unites the whole thing in a circle back to the albums first song, Discoverer. It’s meant to be played on a loop and it’s actually metaphorical to the band itself, the knew this album would be their last. The album, itself, has to be one of R.E.M’s best. It’s got a similar alternative feel as their early albums with a touch of modernity. It’s an album that you “listen” to instead of just casually hearing in your car or something. The songs blend and add meaning to the one before it, much like a concept album without actually being a concept album if that makes sense. It’s amazing. Me, Marlon Brando, and I is like your brain grabbing a blanket and laying down to sleep. It’s beautiful. From start to finish. Once you hear the song in context, it gives you chills. Dont let this stand alone piece put you off because you’d seriously be missing out on some really good shit.

emilyintegral 7 months agoBleh, I loved this band beyond all reason, in high school. Wish they would have stopped making music in 1997.
