fun fact in a selection of songs frank black said he wish he wrote he picked savoy truffle when it came to beatles (and also a saints song, to go back to kurts list!)

@LuJo

I always liked this version more than the Beatles one but it is a more thrilling, dramatic rendition.

between savoy and wild honey, frank sure loves that white album! he mentioned how it inspired doolittle:

Real for Wild Honey Pie and Savoy Truffle

I think my favourite track is probably No 13 Baby

in

most influential band in the last 40 years easily

just found out the pixies are the reason noel named his song champagne supernova by mishearing bossanova

When I was writing that, I remember going to visit Meg, who was living with some chicks down in Maida Vale, in her old flat. I was living in a hotel in Marylebone High Street and had just been kicked out of my flat in Chiswick, for being drunk and disorderly. Anyway, I went over to Meg´s. I wasn't seeing her, she was just a mate and, this may sound really corny but I had the music and melody for the song in my head but I didn't have any words. While I was around there we were listening to a Pixies album called, I think it's... Supernova. As we were listening to this album, we were watching a documentary about where they make Champagne in France. You may laugh but it's true. I was there drunk going, "Champagne supernova? Yeah man" and to this day, everyone’s going, "But what does it mean?". I can't be arsed to explain it cos it sounds really corny. Some of the lyrics were written when I was out of it. There’s the words: "Someday you will find me caught beneath a landslide in a champagne supernova in the sky.""

the velouria video

most expensive video ever made

Did you ever get into any of Albini’s bands? I would definitely recommend the one he’s presently in, Shellac. They’ve been around since the early 90’s and literally only tour or release music when they feel like it. Try out Dude Incredible, their most recent album.

Another band who are sort of similar to them (and whose third and fourth albums were actually recorded by Albini) who I like even more are Oxbow, the band whose sophomore album I made my avi. They’ve been around since the late 80’s and also release and perform music only when they feel like it (there was a decade gap between their most recent album and the one before it). Pretty out there but there aren’t really any other rock bands making music like them as far as I can tell. I’d also definitely try their most recent album, Thin Black Duke.

word, infinite thanks boss will get on it

THIS MONKEY 🐵 IS GONE TO HEAVEN 🧖‍♂️😇

@RVI

1. Doolittle
2. Surfer Rosa
3. Come On Pilgrim
4. Bossanova
5. Trompe le monde

all great

Some of my favorite songs that sound like Pixies songs but are not Pixies songs:

oh man pilgrim! HOLIDAY SONG

was one of my first songs i got into

did u know that apparently stop whispering by radiohead is a pixies tribute song ence the chorus lyrics “stop whispering start shouting” because of pixies formula of quiet loud quiet or something like tht

for the longest time this was my fav @Jerry_Seinfeld

I love this song
Probably my favorite off Bossanova, although I really like ‘Is She Weird’ too. There’s not a single skip on any of those albums though

Another Pixies-ish song I’ve always liked:

Two 00’s UK bands who were definitely Pixies-influenced:
