recommend them to me. i just listened to "allison" and i want stuff like this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get theirr albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I always liked the album "Surfa Rosa" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, get "surfer rosa" combined with "come on pilgrim" and later on get "doolittle". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh Jeez! Get their first album Surfer Rosa, which comes with the bonus tracks from the Come On Pilgrim EP. Bossanova is the album that has Allison - it has a slicker production than most pixies, maybe too slick, but the songwriting is top notch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, "bossanova" sounds very 80's-ish, which automatically means it sounds slick. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
songs: debaser, cecilia ann, where is my mind, here comes your man, etc. etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can see where you'd think it's 80s sounding because the production happens to be using that technology but the overall effect isn't 80s the way, I dunno, Phil Collins sounds 80s. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to me it certainly has connections in the production. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I just hate to see it called 80s because it makes me think of oh let's have a new wave party, you bring the hairspray, I'll bring the cocaine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Plus it sounds about as 80s as witchcraft, the internet or the pyramids do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Witchcraft Internet Pyramid. Didn't they tour with Duran Duran? Everyone all asking, dude, what's a internet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Bossanova sounds like the future of rock, cruelly usurped by the pretender to the throne Kurt Cobain, and now rock is a serf forced to live under the robber barons like Korn, Limp Bizkit and Evanscene fuck you very much. |
||||||||
|
|

listening to cecilia ann right now . . . i think i will get bossanova. how on earth i went this long owning getting pixies music (i've even seen frank black live even), i dont know. i think i tried but failed once when i bought the fight club soundtrack, hoping to get whatever track that was they played at the end . . . it wasn't on the cd though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uh, that one sentence should read "how on earth i went this long without owning pixies music . . ." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Where is my mind" is the track you're after. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bah... I think Sonic Youth had a more interesting musical direction back in the late 80's with albums like bad moon rising and stuff. The pixies are a bit too poppy for my tastes but the use of discordance on pop song structures does have a strange appeal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
naah don't start with "bossanova"! that's insanity! start at the beginning!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Navajo Know Letter to Memphis Trompe Le Monde Blown Away Stormy Weather HEY Caribou Alec Eiffel And so many More! Buy their albums! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get come on pilgrim. it's the best tracks from an early demo. or get surfer rosa. or doolittle. trompe le monde's my favorite but it's sort of distinct from their other stuff. they had become a tight little band by then. and the songs were weirder than ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've been tired is probably the greatest song but the pixies rock my world!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i enjoyed my pixies phase. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good deal! |
||||||||
|
|

Cactus Debaser Tame Wave of mutilation I Bleed Here Comes Your Man Monkey Gone To Heaven Crackity Jones Number 13 Baby Gouge Away Velouria Allison Is She Weird Blown Away Hang Wire Havalina Planet Of Sound Alec Eiffel U-Mass Subbacultcha Motorway To Roswell The Navajo Know a few B-sides are important too: In Heaven (Lady In The Radiator Song) Manta Ray Weird At My School Into The White Make Believe Build High |

I would totally agree with you on all those counts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tame is my favourite song from them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd just like to add Wild Honey Pie from Pixies at the BBC. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Pixies are one of the very few bands that haven't recorded one bad song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they haven't recorded 1 bad song, theyve recorded several bad songs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooooh, cheeky. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good one, fleetm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you gotta respect a man that can scream in tune. one sip from the salty wine! |
||||||||

|
hmm i don't like vamos too much... sowwy :) ed is dead, river euphrates, caribou, hey, number 13 are my favourites, but whenever i play a pixies album i say 'that's my favourite track by them' at every song, so, basically, you can't go wrong :) into the white is also VERY nice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't like vamos that much really. although most people see it as a classic, I guess. same goes for "here comes your man". heard it too many time. I absolutely adore "I bleed". I just love that song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
according to the liner notes of the complete b-sides album, vamos used to be played as the final song at their gigs. i guess it could work, but most of the times i just find it tedious. aye, i bleed really rocks. he sounds just like kurt cobain during the chorus (although it's probably the other way round) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
spot on qrter. i endorse your list. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i still think doolittle is their most consistent release though. followed by the surfer rosa/come on pilgrim cd release closely followed by bossanova not as closely followed by trompe le monde, despite its nice title & sleeve. |
