i was reading this article in some magazine, i think maybe a.p., but that's not important. it was about all the new things going on in ol' athens, ga. you know....neutral milk hotel, elf power, olivia tremor control...all those bands. but then it went into the history of athens.....something i lived through....and it brought back many good memories. of the music that is. i hate the town. bunch of fucking fratboys and people who think they're cooler than you.....and there's an athens way of talking. it's hard to describe it in words, but everything sounds like a question. "i'm gonna go to mcdonald's?" "this is my demo?" but anyway, that's not my point. well....screw all this nonsense. the whole purpose of this letter is wasn't pylon one of the best fucking bands ever? i dug out all my stuff. the pylon albums, the love tractor albums, the athens ga inside out comp., squares blot out the sun...all of it. i even started listening to my old rem stuff again which i hadn't listened to since i realized what a fucking waste "monster" was. but back to pylon...can i get an amen? duke? that perfection as a hipster guy? anyone? surely there are fans on this list. i reckon anyone who likes the first couple of go-betweens albums would love pylon. i even liked their short lived reunion album. and that band on the athens ga inside out album...the bar-b-q killers..."oh oh oh shit" i'm rambling. anyone else had these songs and bands and albums as their middle and high school soundtracks? or is it a georgia thing? -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

ROCK ON. I've been a fan of the Athens scene from afar for quite a while, after reading "Party Out of Bounds," a sorta history of the scene...
wasn't pylon one of the best fucking bands ever?
AMEN. "Gyrate" rocks my world!
i dug out all my stuff. the pylon albums, the love tractor albums, the athens ga inside out comp., squares blot out the sun...all of it. i even started listening to my old rem stuff again which i hadn't listened to since i realized what a fucking waste "monster" was.
I also have all of that stuff (on vinyl, no less!), and since I just got back from a five-day sojourn to my parents' and returned with my records and turntable, I'm sure I'll be listening to them more now...
anyone else had these songs and bands and albums as their middle and high school soundtracks? or is it a georgia thing?
Well, it was my high school soundtrack, but I lived in Ft. Lauderdale. Does that count? ;P --Steven PS -- Hello to all after a bit of an absence!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
