Since 1988, members of the R.E.M. fanclub have scored Christmas songs, covers, live tracks, and originals on vinyl, CD, DVD and downloads.

The band officially called it quits in September, and announced that their fanclub was also finished, bar one last Christmas gift.

Fans received two live songs from their final tour back in 2008: ‘Perfect Circle’ live in London and ‘Life And How To Live It’ from their last ever show in Mexico City.

College rock blog Slicing Up Eyeballs are streaming both tracks here.

You can also look at all the previous Holiday singles via a nifty widget on their website here.
