modest mouse, the national to open for REM

REM is releasing a new album on 4/1 and while i'm not an REM fan (except for certain songs off "green"), it was interesting to see two well-regarded indie bands open up for them. i was disappointed when i saw MM live in 05 (how the hell do you not play interstate 8 or never ending math equation?????) but i'd really like to see the national, preferably in a small setting. i can't imagine they will have the same impact playing at the fucking UNITED CENTER in chicago. but i bet their show at the greek in berkeley will be great.
