October 1: REM - Man on the Moon original soundtrack 

After UP came out, REM did a tour in the summer of '99 (I saw them in St. Louis, and it was an excellent show) where they teased fans with a new song called "Great Beyond." That song, as it turns out, was written for the soundtrack to Man on the Moon, the Jim Carrey movie about Andy Kaufman. The movie sucked balls, but I enjoyed the soundtrack, probably because in addition to "Great Beyond," REM did several instrumental tracks and a weird duet with Carrey as Kaufman (and Tony Clifton). Plus, you get the theme from "Taxi" AND Exile's "Kiss You All Over." And who doesn't need at least one copy of those songs on CD?
