R.E.M. Announce Tour With The National, Modest Mouse

It's nice to hear that R.E.M.'s new record Accelerate sounds great, and rocks like they haven't rocked in sometime.

It's also good to hear that the band has invited The National and Modest Mouse on their Spring tour, kicking off on Easter Sunday in Vancouver B.C.

Maybe Stipe will wear a bunny outfit?
