1. The young 'uns won't get this, you know!
BTW, I saw Let's Active in its 1986 incarnation, on a bill with the dBs and the sadly overlooked Winter Hours, a NJ band that sounded like they were from Athens or Raliegh.

3. Did Dixon produce the dBs?
I know he worked with Easter on the early REM records

4. I don't remember
But his latest album has a bunch of covers from that era, including Parthenon Huxley's Sputnik which I hadn't heard in 20 years

5. Worship you!
I loved Lets Active, and Mitch's studio / production work with REM was spectacular...

8. OMG
I can hear the kudzu growing from here.

80s southern indie rock. Very very very very very soft place in my heart.
