Track of the Day: Fischerspooner's R.E.M. Cover

To help stoke the publicity fires before its May tour (which hits S.F. May 22 at the Fillmore), New York's arty glam-electro heads Fischerspooner announced they'd been given an unreleased R.E.M. song to cover. The tune, "Fascinating," was apparently written by Michael Stipe but never put on an R.E.M. album, so Stipe suggested Fischerspooner take a turn with the song. The track is available as an iTunes bonus to FS's new album Entertainment, but you can also give it a listen via Stereogum.
