PYLON

dang, then that should be TWO votes for working is no problem, then, vaulting it into the upper echelons of these poll results

Woo hoo!!

I voted for "Yo-yo", Karl. I only have one album though.

The film features interviews and concert footage of local bands who were a part of the scene

are there any good "scenes," anymore?

i'm not aware of any, but OTOH, i am o-l-d old.

some of you might enjoy reading this: http://www.netnik.com/jollybeggars/pylon.html

vanessa's history of the group. it spends say too much time on post-1990 activities, understandably, but still worth a read!

"Cool" (well part of it) is heard in a new 2016 Lexus RX car commercial

That's, erm, cool! Hope it brought the band some dough.

i'm trying to make arrangements to see pylon reenactment society next month. i hate that i never got to see randy play with them though

“We laughed that we were trying so hard to be authentic,” continues Lachowski, “We were like the Pylon Historical Reenactment Society instead of just being people in our late 40s in a band again"

i had to work :(

Reissue of “Cool/ Dub” single today for record store day. Vanessa, Michael, & Curtis will be doing 2 in-stores in Athens, GA

Wow

I'm hoping this means the albums will be reissued on New West soon and this isn't just a one-off partnership.

Ah, I answered my own question. Apparently a box is due in 2020.

dude, used copies of the first two albums are out of hand and they are unavailable digitally. curses.

Console w this thread PYLON! C or D?

Gyrate is reasonably priced on the used market (I've bid on and lost copies that go for under $25 on ebay), but Chomp is the one that's absolutely ridiculous.

I really hope this deal with New West results in reissues of the individual albums and not just some astronomically priced box set/collection.

If I remember right, Pylon was really late getting those first two records onto CD. I don't think either of them were ever in print on disc in the 90s...I know I found the first one on vinyl and did not get them on CD until the later post 2000 reissues.

the one Chomp LP that i saw for like ten bucks at wuxtry records in athens circa 2005 perpetually haunts me
