I’m going to go see Pixies tonight. I told Jeannie that I’d pay the price of admission just to hear them to “Hey” live. There’s really nothing like hearing a song that you love done live. Pixies is band that is its own alternate genre. Tumultuous dynamics for certain, but they make such great music. There’s not a good chance I’ll be able to sneak an SLR in there or get up close to the stage, so these videos from their 2004 show will have to do.
One of my favorite songs – perhaps of all time:
Debaser:
And here’s the song that put them the radar again after it was featured in Fight Club:
(Here’s the actual scene from Fight Club for reference:)
And of course, I’d be remiss to not mention that loudQUIETloud (a documentary about their first reunion tour) is available through Netflix Instant Watch.
