Best pixies track

[Brainaddict]

Picking the best is pretty much an impossible task. Like asking which politician you'd like to shoot in the face first. Where do you even start?

I think I'd go for Where is My Mind, just because I didn't know it was part of the Fight Club score and I watched the film and loved every moment of it, and then Where is My Mind came on as the office blocks exploded, and for a few minutes I was transported to cinematic heaven

But it is a really silly thread idea

 

[Brainaddict]

I think the version of Into the White on the B-sides album deserves a special mention. Partly to gain me Pixies completist points and partly cos it kicks arse

ETA: damn you all - I should be going to bed but now I'm watching pixies videos on youtube

 

[krow]

I've Been Waiting For You. a b side on the Velouria twelve inch which I got about 13 years ago. I have quite a few pixies 12"s.

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Cactus- "Bloody your hands on a cactus tree, wipe them on your dress and send them to me".

Hot.

 

[Wolveryeti]

i Am Un Chien Andalusia

 

[gaijingirl]

Where is my mind
Caribou
Debaser
Tony's theme - because it's a song about a (cyclist) superhero named Tony!!

 

[Cloo]

Wide variety of opinion here! Goes to show what a great band they were, that they managed to produce such a variety of songs that people really love.My favourites are:

Where is my Mind?
Bone Machine
Dead
Is She Weird

I think that's all of 'em.

 

[g force]

Bone Machine....BBC Session version. Drum intro is
Nimrods son
Debaser

 

[Mallard]

The Holiday Song for me.

 

[The Groke]

The Holiday Song for me.

Only the second vote for this on the whole thread....after mine.


I am surprised frankly.

 

[Firky]

No!

 

[i_hate_beckham]

Debaser.

 

[The Groke]

No!

The thing that annoys me most about James Blunt is that, when he was on Top Gear recently, he actually came across as a fairly decent, amusing, self-effacing bloke, not the utter cunt we all wish he was in our hearts.

Still, musically; what a cunt.

 

[g force]

Yeah he did seem down to earth and pretty genuine. Doesn't stop his music being bloody awful to the point of killing in the face.

 

[selamlar]

Debaser.

Next question.





PS: Where's the poll?

 

[Pieface]

Cactus- "Bloody your hands on a cactus tree, wipe them on your dress and send them to me".

Hot.

Exactly.

My wife likes him

He's the one huge blemish on my Last FM list as a result.

Too many good songs to do a poll

Divorce.

It's the only way dude.


I'm sorry.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

No waaaaaay can I pick just one ... or even just a few!!

 

[Orang Utan]

I don't know! I DON'T KNOW! I JUST DON'T KNOW!


listen to this though:

 

[killer b]

for some reason it never shows up on threads of this type, but the answer is clearly 'vamos'

 

[art of fact]

always like debaser. but embarrasingly had a "moment" on acid when where is my mind? came on so might have to be that

 

[Liza]

Re discovered In to White the other day. Wow

 

[Annierak]

'Is she weird?' is my favorite closely followed by their version of 'Winterlong'....even better than the original

 

[SpookyFrank]

When I saw them live, Joey Santiago playd the solo for vamos by putting his guitar down and hitting it with drumsticks

 

[perplexis]

Gouge Away
followed closely by Gigantic and The Happening

Actually, there are loads! I've just remembered how much I like the pixies. I might even stop listening to acid techno for the day and listen to them instead

 

[albionism]

Debaser. What a way to open an album. "i am une chen, andalusia"!
