v/a - athfest 99

label: ghostmeat records
released: 1999

the closest i've ever been to athens,ga were the times i took interstate 75 south on my way to florida.
it's some nice scenery to look at whilst driving.
and the waffle houses.
more like awful house.
am i right?
no i'm not.
and if you agree with that you've never been to a waffle house and you're just trying to look cool in front of your dog.
waffle house is fucking awesome.
end of story.
and i know what you're thinking....
interstate 75 isn't really anywhere near athens.
so maybe the closest to athens that i've gotten have the times that i've seen the band jucifer.
yeah.
jucifer are from athens.
jucifer are on this compilation.
jucifer are the reason i bought this compilation.
though i don't really remember from where.
hmmmmmmmmmm.
well it wasn't in athens i can tell you that much.
i don't really think that i'd want to go to athens because i could possibly maybe run into michael stipe.
and where there's michael stipe there's going to be michael stipe's penis.
and i don't really feel all that comfortable with that sort of thing.
don't know what i'm talking about?
you're just going to have to go to the google for that sort of thing.
i don't want to talk about it.
i'll just say that i've seen michael stipe's penis.
and that's all i'm going to say about it.
but don't get me wrong....
i don't have a problem with michael stipe.
and i don't have a problem with r.e.m.
it's just.....

yeah.
so.

this is a compilation of bands that have been involved in ATHFEST.
and as far as i know they're all from athens.
there's a little something for most folks on it.
do you have questions as to what an ATHFEST is?
go to google.
you can look that up after having looked up michael stipe's penis.
