"This video for Beep was made by Pylon member Michael Lachowski in 1988 for the "Hits" compilation CD that was released on DB Records just as Pylon was reforming after a 5 year hiatus. The background for the video is a Super 8 film that Michael shot out of the van window in California on an early-80's tour. The inset video imagery was intended to be a "postcard" of the band and was culled from hours of low-qulaity VHS footage that was shot by the band and soundman Paul Butchart on various tours for Chomp. The hardware graphics were generated in 1988 for Hits. This video has been sitting fallow for a long time, and was recently prepared for digital distribution by Dan Aguar who combined a VHS video with the remastered audio that appears on Chomp More, released by DFA Records in October 2009."

On the back of the album, as I remember, it says "indecipherable lyric in "Beep": 4 minutes." They realized everyone had the same problem. Great song, though.

In my early isolated years, the only one who knew of Pylon, I always thought she was saying 'Varmanence'. I spent years searching for the meaning of that word, or for that matter, that word! It sounded sinister or dark. Like varmin, like vermin? As a budding photographer at 19, it was my theme song. Guess she was talking about a Polaroid...?...or the Apocalypse...Athens style

The opening guitar riff straight away smacks of Talking Heads. The whole production lol, I think the similarities are pretty obvious.
