I like forms and forms like me

I am not surprised that I had never heard of Pylon before tonight. I am also not surprised that I love them. They are spiky and spare and apophatic—the musical equivalent of Ceci n'est pas une pipe, only headbangingly danceable. Their catchiest songs are anti-anthems. This after I spent much of today plying asakiyume with mythic folk. Maybe it's the same angle of my brain that really likes Pierrot Lunaire.

Oh, "Forget" just begs for a sing-along. I don't know how many times we played that thing, but I'm sure the whole campus was sick of it.

You really rock.

(Also, you were not alone: "The electro-acoustic version (on TAANG!) became a minor radio tape hit for us on WMBR in 1981.")

But it's definitely worth picking up ASAP. I get the feeling David Bean's sense of humor will be just as much up your alley as it is mine.

Wonderful; now I'm curious . . . Thanks!
