Guitarist Randy Bewley of Athens, GA post-punk cult heroes Pylon died of a heart attack yesterday while driving. Pylon weren't as well known as their peers in R.E.M. and the B-52s, but their contribution to the musical conversation in Athens in the early eighties can't be stressed enough.

Bewley's guitar work on "Danger" is particularly stunning.
