Depeche Mode today released the second music video for a track off the band’s 15th studio album Memento Mori, a black-and-white clip for the song “Wagging Tongue.”

R.E.M. — the iconic college-rock band that soared to major-label uperstardom in the late ’80s and early ’90s before suffering the loss of a key original member — announced today that it has ‘decided to call it a day as a band’ after 31 years together.
