Released as part of the career spanning retrospective ‘Part Lies, Part Truth, Part Heart, Part Garbage’, REM’s final single ‘We All Go Back To Where We Belong’ has two video clips to support the release.
The minimalist videos – clearly influenced by I Am Kloot’s ‘Proof’ clip, starring Christopher Eccleston – feature performances by John Giorno and Kirsten Dunst. You can see them both below.

To celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary, legendary prog-metallers Queensryche are to perform their ‘Rage For Order’ album in its entirity at a special gig.
The show – to be held at New York’s Highline Ballroom on October 31st – will mark the first time the band has ever played the album in such a way. The remainder of the set is said to be filled with other favourites from the band’s catalogue.
Said frontman Geoff Tate: “‘Rage For Order’ was only our second full studio album and it’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years. We plan to let the good times roll on Monday night and hope you come join us in the Big Apple for what we promise to be a memorable show.”
