R.E.M.'s Mike Mills Crashed Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy's Murmur Performance

[@chrisdelisle3954]

Narducy has had a pretty incredible, under the radar career. He’s played with 3 of my all time favorite singer-songwriters in Robert Pollard, Bob Mould and Liz Phair. And his album “Chronicles” with the band Verbow is amazing.

[@covers_girl]

Jason started as a teenager and young at that. Pre-teen I mean

[@genghis_connie]

@@covers_girl Verboten.

[@genghis_connie]

I assume we’re all from Chicago and/or Evanston. Such a nice guy, to boot. I love seeing this.

[@chrisdelisle3954]

Actually, no. Metro Detroit. In the 90’s, I was a huge Bob Mould fan. Still am. Found out Bob produced Verbow’s “Chronicles” and loved it the first time I heard it. The first 8 tracks or so on there are perfect. One of the best albums of the 90’s.

[@bothellkenmore]

I recognize Liz Phair

[@Levelistchampion]

It's remarkable how many of my favorite 80s REM songs are Mike Mills heavy. I can't wait to see the show!

[@vailpcs4040]

Objectively, he had a better voice than Stipe, but wasn't as good a frontman. In the first 3rd of their career (albums up to Out of Time), Mills was the magic that tied them together and really helped grow them a following. I'm glad to see the music coming back for a new generation to enjoy! :)

[@genghis_connie]

@@vailpcs4040 I was. VeERY surprised Jason didn’t sing Mills’ part. It’s the magic of this song - and his voice is great.

[@ParapluieDefenestrator]

Any time Naked Raygun gets mentioned on network television, the Rock Gods smile wryly.

[@brianvankley3529]

Jason Narducy’s Split Single band is one of my absolute favorite bands on the planet, and he’s the reason I discovered Superchunk & Bob Mould’s many projects. 🙏

[@jyutzler]

Wow, you discovered Jason first, then Bob Mould? I'm glad that he is reaching new fans independently. One of the benefits of being a big Bob Mould fan for over 30 years is first hearing of him before Verbow when he opened for Mould in 1997.

[@radiowatcher]

I discovered Jason Narducy when he toured as a bassist for SuperChunk, and began following him on social media. I now know him as a creative and amazing artist. Looking forward to the tour.

[@antoniasteins3131]

You guys simply have the best most interesting guests come on the show - Rachel Blum & these two - loved both conversations. ☺️❤️👍

[@Gonzax]

Michael Shannon has an impeccable taste in music, first The Smiths, now REM... I'd love to watch one of those shows.

[@iloveyoubebe]

He’s even mentioned loving the Jesus Lizard a couple times before! such great taste

[@ryanthomas5507]

Saw the show at Metro and loved it! Amazing band

[@rjnation5042]

Damn I love the early REM stuff, this sounds like a great show to see, hope they tour it internationally, Rj in Oz

[@lashendawest7509]

We love michael Shannon and Jason narducy

[@jessmanuel540]

Naked Raygun. Damn. Now that's a band I'd never expect to be mentioned on a mainstream late night talk show.

[@scottreiburnNYC]

Michael Shannon is a good fella. He’s been doing a show here in Brooklyn in my neighborhood, and I see him smoking and hanging out during rehearsals, performances, and he just seems like a totally cool, down to earth dude. Superb actor. Looking forward to hearing him sing. This is an artist.

[@katieking7671]

I hate him smoking! He is fraying

[@aylemarshland5609]

@@katieking7671 Is this Katie Pesky on Twitter?

[@Jakeryanshow]

He smokes? Didn’t figure him a smoker. I also met him last year at the gym in Brooklyn. I got totally starstruck hahahah

[@reallytallchairs]

Seeing Shannon seemingly excited to be there instead of carefully partaking in interview makes me feel nice

[@jasonshort1437]

Jason is a great dude.

[@EdwoodCA]

MIke Mills walks in their green room right before they go on, haha! No pressure!

[@ddthor]

We had Old Skull from Madison. They were a pre teen punk band in the 80’s. They were on MTV back then.

[@Lawman212]

oh, I would have loved to hear the performance.

[@suzanjurist2339]

Love Narducys work with Bob Mould

[@ca2ne]

I ran into Jason Narducy at a bar in St. Paul, before a Bob Mould show, and I thought it was really cool that it was him, we were the only two in the bar, but I didn't say anything. How weird would it be to ask a stranger, "Hey, are you Jason Narducy" and the stranger replies, "Who?"

[@jyutzler]

Missed opportunity! I've spoken with him multiple times and he has always been very personable.

[@ottawasunset]

Naked Raygun! Hell yeah

[@shawnuel]

Robbie Fulks! Dang he is great.

[@HermitLady]

REM you either love em or hate em. That’s what I remember 🤣

[@nannerz1994]

Oh its THAT tracy! Dave never said she opened up for naked raygun wow

[@genghis_connie]

The first Split Single album has Last Goodbye (not Jeff Buckley’s) is my favorite. The Jason & Alison years were cool.

[@kaspinet]

OT but someone please do a series or a movie where Bill Hader and Michael Shannon play brothers.

Here is the only live version of Mike and The Jehovah's Suspects. We also did a thrash version of "Gimme 3 Steps", "Good times, Bad Times" (with the least Zeppelin verse phrasing by Mike), and an unnamed jam tune with Mike on drums and me on lead vocals (no idea what I sang): kzbin.info/www/bejne/noCpp3icpquVa5Y

Michael Shannon could almost say he was going through a mid-teen crisis when he wrote his song.
