√ Hear Peter Buck's first solo song on R o c k o l .COM

15 Jun 2012 Peter Buck's solo record doesn't yet have a name nor a release date, but you can listen right now to R.E.M. 's ex guitarist first solo song. Titled "10 milion BC", the song was previewed by friend and partner in The Baseball Project Steve Wynn New Jersey’s WFMU radio, where the musician guested on Diane’s Kamikaze Fun Machine.
The solo record has been rumoured for weeks, and was confirmed last may 22snd by Steve Wynn on the Facebook page of The Baseball Project: "Hard at work the last three days with BBP bassists extraordinaire Peter Buck and Mike Mills, making a Peter-led record in the BBP home haven of Type Foundry Studio in Portland with our main man Adam Selzer at the board. No baseball songs but with Lenny Kaye and Bill Rieflin in the band, and lots of friends dropping by, it is just the right kind of mayhem". The board post doesn't have an author (we can suppose it has been written by either Wynn or McCaughey) but also reveals some of the name involved in the record: long-time friend and colleague Mike Mills, bassist of R.E.M, but also Lenny Kaye, guitarist from the Patti Smith Group.
