nice job Peter nice meeting you sir and uh I'm sorry your name against you Mike nice
to see you sir uh REM is it rapid eye movement or is it other things also it could be anything
you wanted to we found it in the dictionary and it was short concise and didn't particularly
mean anything to us so yeah good enough uh you're from Athens Georgia now it's true that
there are new bands coming out of Athens Georgia right cornfield now why why would that be
why all of a sudden Athens Georgia not that it isn't a fine Community or is it is it a
fine Community fine college town fine college town well what is there an explanation behind
that oh yeah there's a lack of anything else to do there no there's not uh who else is
from there uh Russell Walker Herschel Walker yes we have his album we'll be listening to
that a little bit um but the The B-52s Hylan contractor method actors yeah but is there
a reason for that or just no it's a college town a lot of kids trying to waste time creatively
I guess yeah okay I'll take your word for it uh and this album The murmur it's very
inexpensive compared to other albums isn't it right is it working are people buying it
yeah what's the price of it 6.98 and what is it let's list it should be cheaper cheaper
yeah uh and and what is the the price of other albums so this is yeah good well that's a
good idea why didn't they make them all cheaper yeah so Money Talks folks uh now the song
