    If you like the source
    There is no reason to be discouraged
    Just turn the knob to the left
    Turn up the volume
    Let's go
    Turn up the volume

    When girls meet boys
    You can even dance
    It's not wrong- on a sunday
    when you go out
    don't be discouraged
    Volume is pleasant - let's dance
    turn up to volume
    forget the picture
    try to remember
    try it before or after
    you can even dance

    Best Athens band and one of the greatest bands ever imo. Vanessa was ahead of her time. I was heartbroken when they broke up in 1983. Their last show was EPIC!

      Right when I started at UGA in 1990 Pylon got back together. I saw a few really good shows. Great energy.

    Pylon never got the recognition they deserved, but right people gave them what they got. This is the best track from Gyrate. Trying to find Chomp on vinyl.

    Starting getting into them through R.E.M..."Crazy"..."Dead Letter Office"...Saw them open for R.E.M....Saw them in some little club in Houston on the second round...One of those low level joints where the band doesn't even have a riser and you can stand right in front of them about three feet away...They were badass...Talked to Vanessa after the show...She was so sweet...This was thirty years ago...If she ever needs me to drive twelve hours and give her a jump start, I am a phone call away...

    There was a video of Pylons last show, during the era where the lead singer was somewhat "skinny" (sorry_) anyways can anyone help me find it before I lose my mind?

    • @InfotainmentScan
      @InfotainmentScan Před 7 lety +4

      Any luck recapturing the video? Your definition of the "era" aside..... The last show of Pylon's first run, in 1983, was apparently fiilmed and taped for a PBS pilot that never aired, but it's a mystery to me how to find it. [Pylon also did a big last show at the 40 Watt at the end of their second run, in 1991, but I haven't heard of that one being recorded.]
      The audio recording of the 1983 show resurfaced and was released last year as "Pylon Live," but I didn't think the video had been unearthed. An article on the NPR website included a picture of Pylon performing which was captioned as the only existing photo from that show, a little mysteriously.
      But then I read an article from the Atlanta Magazine site about Pylon that ended with the announcement of an upcoming performances by Pylon Reenactment Society, including to my surprise: "The evenings will kick off with video footage from Pylon’s 1983 farewell show at The Mad Hatter."
      So it seems that footage is out there somewhere. Maybe it was on CZcams briefly in the past? I'd love to see it and hope it materializes or re-materializes some day outside of what they show at the Pylon Reenactment concerts.
