here’s a funny thought

pixies covered neil young more than once, twice in fact, first the “winterlong” ive already posted which was a song that was only released on a pricey neil young boxset and a live, never cut in studio (just to give you context how knowledgeable frank is) and the second one ”i’ve been waiting for you” an obscure neil young song off of his debut album (let’s be honest no one goes back to that one much, only frank digs like that)

here’s what interesting: bowie has showered pixies with love, covering them way back in 1991 when he was with his tin machine band

a band which i even suspect he made out of his love for pixies and this coming back of rock bands mm

he was even spotted in studio when they recorded trompe le monde and did some interview (as ive posted the clip) for a documentary about them along with radiohead

a documentary which i believe was shot around their comeback? 2001? same time bowie recorded and released his fantastic album heathen which contains his pixies cover cactus

but here’s where it comes in full circle, the same album contains another cover... “i’ve been waiting for you” by neil young!

what are the odds?

coincidence? yeah right, get outta here, bowie totally nerded out off of pixies on that one!

I’ve seen a lot of that pil album, never got into it.. is it that good?

man ngl to u a LOT of those punk albums i havnt got back into years, these days im either soul music or rap music (if it ain’t for my trinity, bowie - beach boys - weezer)

here my comment on the list

i like the iggy one
love the vaselines (again thanks to nirvana for that lol)
gang four clossic
s***pistols i can do without
love me some pj harvey for sure
sonic youth kings but been a minute
the f*** is kleenex????

areosmith that good huh? never listened
various artists is my fav band ever
rem they aight
beat happening and rites sounds familiar
love leadbelly
mudhoney is ok for memory
i like some daniel but calling him genuis is ridiculous tho
curious for half japanese
do not recall butholle surfers but read about them a lot dont they have a cover with a pen inside an ear and blood and s***?
public enemy legend
marine girls intriguing but prolly hardcore punk stuff lol
bowie album overrated but was prolly cool in that day where it wasn’t very popular
wipers classics
mazzy star a bit boring and stale to me
very impressed by his inclusion of swans, goat

since there’s only surfer rosa and no meat puppets i wonder what year this list is mm
