Great tune, I remember it well! Quite popular in alterna-radio land (at least in my neck of the woods). Hadn't heard this one in ages, thanks again oh Keeper of The Nuggets.

Yep - I remember them fondly too. I got that EP not too long after buying Murmur, I think. Those two bands, along with Pylon and the Method Actors, were my intro to the Athens music scene in 1983. Sadly, despite being only 100 miles away, R.E.M. was the only one of them I ever saw live, though being in high school had a little to do with that.
