Hear The New R.E.M. Album on iLike Before it Hits the Stores


remMusic discovery social network (most famous for its Facebook application) iLike will be streamed in its entirety beginning March 24th - a week before is US release on April 1st. R.E.M. will also record an exclusive video message for iLike users in which they'll introduce and discuss the album. The album is called "Accelerate" and if you still hope it'll be better than "Automatic For The People," wake the hell up. It won't.

This is cool news for iLike, which has really gone a long way. One day, everyone around you is telling you that making Facebook apps is a waste of time and that it'll never amount to anything, and the next day a huge rock band is streaming its new album through your service. Next step: Rolling Stones give exclusive distribution rights for their new album to a plugin of a widget in an iPhone app.
