"Automatic for th' people"

Don't know if any of you have caught the '87 documentary about the Athens scene around the time of R.E.M. and the B-52's (titled "Athen, GA inside/out") or not, but here's the soundtrack, which features the bands that didn't crack the indie scene but might be familiar with those who lived in record stores in the mid-to-late '80's or had a cool cousin from Atlanta. If you have Dish Network and have the Documentary Channel, it might come on again one day; I was smart and recorded it on videotape, although Pink still has the tape and I can't think to get it back.

I have this flick on VHS and have been carting it around for years. The scene with Flat Duo Jets on the front porch of the frat house is worth the price of admission alone. Thanks.
