A newly remastered deluxe 25th anniversary edition of R.E.M.’s tenth studio recording, “New Adventures in Hi-Fi,” has just been reissued, complete with B-sides and rarities. We’re  excited to feature one of them, “New Test Leper,” as Today’s Top Tune. 

If you’re a fan of the band, take a dive into Bent By Nature, the new podcast and digital archive about KCRW’s “SNAP!”, the pioneering ‘80s underground music show on which Michael Stipe and many of his peers were frequent guests.
