R.E.M.
On this week’s edition of “Lust for Lists” on Sirius XM satellite radio’s 1st Wave (Channel 33), Slicing Up Eyeballs’ Matt Sebastian fills in for regular host Lori Majewski, offering a 14-song playlist with the theme of “Contemporary Covers.”
All of the songs featured are by 1st Wave artists covering their musical contemporaries, songs that originally were released during those bands’ lifetimes — not, say, older tracks from an earlier generation.
The episode premiered this morning — April 1 — on 1st Wave and will be replayed following Sunday night’s “Dark Wave,” also hosted by Slicing Up Eyeballs’ Matt Sebastian, at 1 a.m. Eastern.
But Sirius XM subscribers can also stream it right now, on demand, via the SXM app.
