R.E.M. - Accelerate
Venerable rockers R.E.M. have a video out for the second single from their surprisingly-decent latest album, Accelerate. The video’s not all that interesting, but the song’s actually pretty good, so check it out:

Are the lyrics of this song an admission of REM’s musical decline over the last decade?

I hadn’t really thought about that, but the last verse could certainly apply:

I’m emptied out, I’m incomplete.
You trusted me, I want to show you
I don’t want to be the hollow man.
