I have been listening to Th Pixies a lot recently and have discovered how bloody fantastic they are I have been listening to Death to the Pixies It is fantastic album with a fantastic title and amazing songs Does anyone else think they are as good (or even better) as sliced bread?
Bloody fantastic is right! I don't listen to loads of punk or grunge type bands, but it seems The Pixies are one I can always handle hearing. I knew nothing of them until I saw 'Fight Club', then naturally I had to find out who the band playing 'Where Is My Mind?' were. Aint no where is my mind on the soundtrack, which I figured I'd go for, but I'm pleased to say now I got 'Surfer Rosa' instead Slightly worried that first listen that I maybe just loved the song because of the moment in Fight Club it kicks in. Alas no, once fully absorbed I was lovin' those Pixies. Getting 'Doolittle' made it all the more clear also! Check out both I'd say certainly. My friend is getting me 'Bossanova' soon. Yay
The Pixies are probably my second all-time favorate band next to the Beatles... I first got in to them because my gran's ex-husband was in to them, and he left a tape of "Come on Pilgrim" at my grandma's house. I had all of their albums, but somehow I've lost Doolittle and Surfer Rosa!! But I'm going to buy em back cuz they're only £5 in a shop in cambridge. Btw, I shook Frank Black's hand after a gig! My mate hugged him, so that always makes my story less impressive
# just a tip...when you first hear bossanova you'll probably hate it...it's very different from the earlier stuff...but give it a few listens...it's well worth it... i have to say...my favourite pixies album is trompe le monde...and everyone laughs at me when i say that...but it's true...i don't know why...the songs just appeal to me more on that album...every song they made was great.,..but theres something about trompe le monde...
