My bud and I saw them in a very small club in Poughkeepsie (yes, there really is…), had a beer at the bar along Stipe, and we was sold, man. B52s, Let's Active, Love Tractor, Oh Ok, Method Actors, Buzz of Delight (w/Matthew Sweet) and of course the wonderful Pylon. There was a parallel scene going on in Hoboken with great bands like The Bongos, The Individuals, The Cucumbers, The Fleshtones, The Feelies and a particular favorite of mine, The Cyclones. If I could figure out how to zip file it I would share the 4 volume set I compiled I called "Hoboken To Athens". (If anyone would like I am willing to send hard copies your way….really.) It's fun and chronicles a great but way-underappreciated sound in American rock, altho Lexus ( Ithink…??) is using Pylon's "Cool" in their ads these days. Ha! I love this stuff.<br /><br />And I get the loss of love for REM after their popularity built although that didn't happen for me. Automatic for The People is a very favorite of mine and I went with the band until the end. There are some great tracks hidden in all that stuff.<br /><br />And yes this album is a great sampler for a sound that those of us in the know can appreciate. Thanks, Brian! Everything is cool.kevinpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501873866325216412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-53940519728221300442016-01-27T20:07:37.086-05:002016-01-27T20:07:37.086-05:00Your comment Cuts Like a Knife, CC.

I'm out.<br /><br />B-52's are coming up, Echorich. Apologies in advance to the Robster but by the time this film came out I was more or less done with R.E.M. Murmur is in my top 10 of the decade though and I was loyal through Life's Rich Pageant. Have everything from the I.R.S. years but not a single song after that. Indie snobbery part but not all of the problem, I'm sure.<br /><br />Robster, Ignore that message to Echorich. I recall a heartfelt post or two from you on the fellas from Athens. I'll redeem myself when I get to Chomp and Gyrate. Glad you like the film and soundtrack. Listened to the whole thing during the digital conversion this week. Not a bad song on either side.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-14904669216508162222016-01-27T16:51:26.575-05:002016-01-27T16:51:26.575-05:00Have I blinked and missed Bryan Adams?Have I blinked and missed Bryan Adams?Charity Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049726176497694026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-82801871470275644612016-01-27T14:26:44.012-05:002016-01-27T14:26:44.012-05:00After The B-52's, Pylon was always my favorite...After The B-52's, Pylon was always my favorite Athens band. R.E.M. moved on and away much faster in my mind. Sure The B-52's became a downtown NYC band pretty early on, but they always referenced their Athens roots. Pylon were early purveyors of "jangle" pop and I remember seeing them open for Gang Of Four as far back as 1980 and possibly U2.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-66261176085321922102016-01-27T02:57:15.430-05:002016-01-27T02:57:15.430-05:00A great soundtrack, an even better film.

Aside from R.E.M. and Pylon, they're probably my two fave tracks.<br /><br />Can't wait for you to get to P now. 'Chomp' simply must feature...TheRobsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277941961790844321noreply@blogger.com
