SMALLVILLE UPDATE
"Slumber," Wednesday's episode of Smallville on The WB, will feature five songs from R.E.M.
The songs will include "Imitation of Life," "Everybody Hurts," "Losing My Religion," "Bad Day" and "At My Most Beautiful." All of the sons are featured on the group's new album, In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003, scheduled for release on Oct. 20 from Warner Bros. Records.
In "Slumber," Clark Kent (Tom Welling) dreams he is being pursued by a frightened young girl who needs his help. After Clark discovers the apparition is actually that of a comatose neighbor who should have awoken years ago, he enlists Lana Lang's (Kristin Kreuk) help to uncover the truth - which puts Lana in grave danger.
