Song of the Day 11/10: R.E.M., “Daysleeper”

After a long night of rage-tweeting, how’s a busy president supposed to get enough shut-eye? Simple – catch a few z’s during one of those boring news conferencesthey’re always scheduling during nap time. The Washington Post analyzed the footage and found that Drowsy Don spent 20 minutes in the Land of Nod during Thursday’s press session. Of course, the story of this decrepit fop’s obvious incapacity for his job disappeared soon after it ran.

“Daysleeper” was the first single from R.E.M.’s 1998 album “Up,” their first without drummer Bill Berry and their first in over a decade to fail to reach platinum status. The single failed to crack the top 40 in the U.S., but it reached No. 6 in the UK.
