Buck revealed the news on R.E.M.'s Instagram account. He explained that after he appeared on the Revolutions Per Movie podcast, where he discussed the 1968 rock 'n' roll movie Wild in the Streets, he recorded a cover of the movie's theme song, "Shape of Things To Come," featuring Vanessa Briscoe Hay from the Athens, Georgia, band Pylon and Camper Van Beethoven's Victor Krummenacher.
The song is available on limited-edition flexi disc to those who join the Revolutions Per Movie club.
Wild in the Streets, based on the Robert Thom short story The Day It All Happened, Baby!, starred Christopher Jones, Hal Holbrook and Shelley Winters. The song, "Shape of Things To Come," was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, and was performed by the movie's fictional band, Max Frost and the Troopers.
