DBWS - 2-33 - PYLON REENACTMENT SOCIETY
We’re reaching back into the vault for another classic episode of Don’t Bother Wearing Seatbelts — and this one is an absolute blast.
We’re joined by the entire Pylon Reenactment Society for a conversation about carrying forward the legacy of Pylon, one of the most incredible, influential, and downright singular bands to ever emerge from the legendary Athens, Georgia music scene.
We talk about what it means to honor that music while creating something that stands on its own, the formation and evolution of Pylon Reenactment Society, their extensive touring, the records they’ve released, and what it’s been like bringing these songs to audiences around the world. https://patreon.com/dontbotherwearingseatbelts?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=copyLink

This week we’re joined by the fantastic J. Kirk Pleasant for a conversation about his beautiful Calvin, Don’t Jump! record, Crystal Clear Mississippi.
But really we don't talk much about it.. But we do talk about his undefeated college marching band, behind the scenes stories of Neutral Milk Hotel, and the Gerbils. His mention in Rolling Stone magazine, The Mountain Goats getting towed in the snow, being a fire fighter, and bird migration enthusiast, and he also takes us back through some incredible memories from his time touring as a member of The Olivia Tremor Control.

August 26 DBWS - 2-30 Fear Of Fear with Ben Crum of Great Lakes
DBWS - 2-30 Fear Of Fear with Ben Crum of Great Lakes
On this episode, we sit down with Ben Crum of Great Lakes to talk about the band’s beautiful and deeply personal new record, Fear of the Fear.
A semi-concept album inspired by the loss of a close friend, Fear of the Fear explores grief, memory, friendship, and all the complicated emotions that come with losing someone important. Interestingly, the album was actually recorded before Great Lakes’ last record Don't Swim To Close, making its long-awaited arrival feel even more special.
This episode has some really amazing E6 stories including some fun ones about the great Belle and Sebastian and Alex Chilton of Big Star.

DBWS 2-29 Happy Happy Birthday To Me Ep. 2 with Mike Turner
This time, we’re going even deeper into the story of HHBTM Vol. 1, the legendary compilation that captured a wildly creative moment at the brink of a legendary record label.
Mike takes us inside the making of the comp—the bands, the friendships, the discoveries, the stories behind the songs, and what it was like building a label around a community of musicians who were creating some of the most exciting music happening anywhere.
And, of course, we’re listening along the way.
This episode features music from of Montreal, Elf Power, The Masters of the Hemisphere, The Minders, Marshmallow Coast, and more as Mike gives us the stories behind the artists and songs that helped make HHBTM Vol. 1 such a special snapshot of its time.
It’s part oral history, part mixtape, and a full-on celebration of the beautiful interconnected world of independent music.
So put on your headphones, dig through the record collection, and join us for another deep dive into the wonderfully weird world of Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records.

July 23 DBWS 2-25 - Happy Happy Birthday To Me With Mike Turner
PLEASE READ BEFORE LISTENING • This episode contains frank discussions of autism. You will actually hear us talking about cutting the entire section before it airs. However, we, along with Mike, decided that the conversation was extremely interesting, inspiring, and important to the story being told.
On this special episode, we're joined by one of the most influential and creative figures connected to the Elephant 6 universe: Michael Turner.
As the founder of Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records, Michael has championed countless Elephant 6 artists and helped introduce an incredible wave of independent music to the world. He's also the driving force behind the legendary Athens Popfest, where so many unforgettable Elephant 6 performances and reunions have taken place over the years.

July 09 DBWS 2-24 Elf Power Vainly Clurching with Andrew Reiger
DBWS 2-24 Elf Power Vainly Clurching with Andrew Reiger
Here's another season one episode freed from behind the paywall. This episode marked the official start of Patrick Tape Fleming' as a co-host. We kinda forgot to tell Andrew Reiger about it ahead of time.
But no biggie...
They actually know each other and are fans of each other's musical work.
We mostly discuss Elf Power's lo-fi 1995 masterpiece of a debut release "Vainly Clutching at Phantom Limbs", but, per usual, the conversation wanders. Whether you are familiar with Andrew's work or not, prepare to be edumacated and enraptured by the magic of Elf Power!

June 25 DBWS 2-23: The Sunshine Fix — Age of the Sun
DBWS 2-23: The Sunshine Fix — Age of the Sun
As the 1990s came to a close, the Elephant 6 universe entered one of its most fascinating and creative chapters.
The Olivia Tremor Control — the Athens, Georgia kaleidoscopic psychedelic pop machine that helped define an era .. had drifted into different corners of time and space. Its two visionary songwriters began exploring new worlds: Will Cullen Hart traveled deeper into the dreamlike experimental galaxies of Circulatory System, while Bill Doss chased the eternal glow of the perfect pop song with The Sunshine Fix.
And with Age of the Sun, Bill created his post OTC masterpiece.
Filled with Byrds-like harmonies, sun-drenched melodies, 1960s psychedelic color, a little 70's funk and the beautiful layered orchestration we'd come to know from OTC, Age of the Sun feels like a transmission from another dimension.. completely powered by Bill’s unmistakable optimism, his worldly lyrics, and melodic genius
On this episode we talk with Sunshine Fix members Derek Almstead and Kevin Sweeney about what it was like working alongside Bill Doss — not just as a songwriter, but as a friend, producer, and bandleader.
They share stories of Bill’s kindness, his endless encouragement, his belief in the people around him, and the way he created space for every musician to bring their own personality into the music.
Much like Paul McCartney building Wings after that “other little band he was in” Bill wasn’t looking for hired hands. He was building a BAND.
This is a conversation about friendship, collaboration, creativity, and the magic that happens when a great songwriter trusts the people around him. https://patreon.com/dontbotherwearingseatbelts?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=copyLink
