All I own ...Hey Ken, thanks for the great comment. All I own out of the bands you mentioned is the first Zeitgeist album (Translate Slowly) and their Atlantic City 12" LP. I was planning to include a track or two from them one in my final wrap up of the series (the odds and ends). Next jangly 80s post will be a big one about R.E.M., Let's Active, Pylon, Don Dixon, and Marti Jones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757398021270225218.post-60327207471557118632008-02-15T14:06:00.000-05:002008-02-15T14:06:00.000-05:00The true Believers are one of the greatest bands o...The true Believers are one of the greatest bands of all time, and it's a shame that they didn't enjoy a greater level of success. <BR/>I completely agree with you about the Believers' wall of sound - as good as they are on record, they were even better live.<BR/>Alejandro is a truly inspired artist - it seems that every project he involves himself with is guaranteed to be incredible.<BR/>Do you plan on covering any of Austin's other New Sincerity bands (Zeitgeist, Glass Eye, Doctor's Mob, etc)?<BR/>Thanks for stirring up some great memories with this series of posts - keep 'em coming!<BR/><BR/>KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757398021270225218.post-76629036710840431382008-02-13T09:33:00.000-05:002008-02-13T09:33:00.000-05:00Dan, I saw that the True Believers were on your se...Dan, <BR/><BR/>I saw that the True Believers were on your set list (I'm a subscriber to your web page).

I'm not sure if Sundown ranks up there with Highway 61 Revisted, Pet Sounds, or Kind of Blue, but it's one that any fan of alt-country or country-rock should have in their collection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757398021270225218.post-76739130220362783342008-02-11T07:46:00.000-05:002008-02-11T07:46:00.000-05:00Frankly, that Rank and File album is one of the be...Frankly, that Rank and File album is one of the best of all-time period.
