On thursday night at 8:00 eastern, on MTV2, Dashboard Confessional is going to cover a whole REM album. I know some of you are into these two bands, so I figured I'd let ya's know. Enjoy

That should be interesting.. too bad I don't have cable here.. Ah well.. it'll be turned into torrent soon enough

Out of curiousity.. what R.E.M. album are they covering?

Averett

I'll let you know if it gets posted somewhere, there's a few sites that has a lot of Dashboard downloads.

(I'm a bit obsesseed )

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I came upon a few (5) mp3s of Dashboard Confessional playing REM (a couple featuring Michael Stipe). They are:

Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight
Everybody Hurts
Hands Down (feat. Michael Stipe)
Drive (feat. Michael Stipe)
Nightswimming (iTunes Exclusive)

I imagine they're from the show mentioned in this thread. Does anyone know of any more from this show (or of a video of the show itself) exist? It sounds like it was a really good show, regretting I don't get MTV2

Thanks.

Averett

It was FUCKING AWESOME!

Then again, I'm just a teeny tiny fan

Anyway, I have the DVD at home, bought it at their show in May. It was a double set with their newest album. I'm not sure if it was released in Australia or not... I'll check the album when I get home and post the songs that they did. There weren't many really, maybe 8-10. And Michael Stipe only sang with 2-3 if I remember right. Might have only been Hands Down and Drive.

I thought it was amazing. I remember when I first heard Everybody Hurts on some WB TV show... I love that song and when I heard Chris Carrabba singing it, I think I may have peed just a little

I'll also check around online and see if I can find the videos. I'm sure they're around somewhere.

Not a big REM fan, but I'm sure Dashboard can do it just as good, if not better. I might turn it on just to see.

Don't have to do a giant search or anything, didn't know if you knew of anything offhand.. if you had some good DC sites that I could start from, that'd be helpful too

A mate down here's in love w/ DC.. and has all their albums.. I'll have to see if he got a DVD with it.

Thanks

Mate.. it happened in February.. I just dug up an old thread and revived it hehe.

Doh! I guess I should look at dates, eh? Oh well, I think I won't be watching it then!

Well, there's always *www.dashboardconfessional.com* There's a forum there, but I haven't visited in awhile. Filled with alot of "OMG isn't Chris Hot??" "OMG, What did Chris do with his hair?" and such :rolleeyes:

Then there's *www.dbclive.com* which is a pretty sweet archive of live preformances. Hmm.. they have 9 songs from the REM cover show, but it doesn't look like the video is on it. But there are a shitload of preformances from David Letterman and other late night type shows, as well as a ton of live preformances. Your friend would LOVE this. It's easy to use too, just have to have an FTP client thingy or whatever it's called.
