July 19: U2 and R.E.M.
The thing I really like about buying European import singles for like $1.50 is they usually have cool covers or live tracks on them. For instance, on the U2 single "Last Night on Earth" (from the Pop album, I believe), you get covers of "Pop Muzik" (London, New York, Paris, Munich, everybody talk about..pop music) that played before the band came on stage on the PopMart tour and the Beatles' "Happiness is a Warm Gun."
The REM single is for "I'll Take the Rain," the unsuccessful third single off of their last album Reveal. This one gets points off because one b-side, "32 chord song," is just an alternate version of a song on Reveal, and the other b-side is only accessible by putting it in your computer and watching a video of it. Not cool. I like the cartoon dog on the cover, though.
