Pylon



Another great guitarist is dead, this time of a heart attack. Randy Bewley died at the tender age of 53. As one of the unsung heroes of the Athens, GA, scene, from back when The B-52s and REM got most of the spotlight, Randy took a back seat to many of his contemporaries. It's a shame, because he had a cool, laid back style. This song, Danger, is a good example of his low-fi sound. RIP Mr. Bewley. I'm glad to know Pylon continued to play from the late 70s all the way until recently.
