Why REM???

Maybe I am missing something about Mickey having a connection to REM but it just seems like an odd choice for him to do a covers album on that band. Mickey has done several covers albums in the past, but they have always been on various artists or someone he has a connection to, like Michael Nesmith. Don’t get me wrong, these covers are just fine and if you’re a Mickey/Monkees fan, you probably want to buy this for the low price and the novelty. Personally, I would rather listen to REM do their own stuff, and Mickey do Monkees music or something more relevant to him.
