Pixies - Where Is My Mind? | REACTION Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE! Twitter: / pancakemd1129 Instagram: / pancakemd1129 Thanks for watching! #Pixies #REACTION
Anyone in my age over 45 realises that nothing in the 80s sounded like this and this could easily be a late 90s staple. A band way ahead of their time.
Pixies were/are hugely influential, though they remain a far bigger band outside the US than here. This is probably their best-known track, but you should try their "Gouge Away", "Monkey Gone to Heaven", Cactus", "Brick Is Red", "No. 13 Baby", "The Happening", "Motorway to Roswell", "Head Carrier", "Magdalena", "Veloria" (BTW, there is a great BBC 6 Music Live Room performance of "Gouge Away" here on YT if you want a closeup live performance).
"Melodic" is the key observation. Beautifully raucous music but very, very melody-driven. That's why they're my favourite band ever. (And I'll be seeing 'em in three weeks' time; yippee!)
Oh, The Pixies were a great Boston band. You've got to check out Here Comes My Man, Gigantic, and Monkey Gone to Heaven; three tracks that are very varied and show of many different sides to this crazed band!
Loving your selections... This one surprised me. I feel like you're going through my high school mix tapes lately 😂. Wave of mutilation (UK surf) and here comes your man are a couple of their more well known songs. Another band you might enjoy with this distorted, noisy sound is Sonic Youth.
You seem to have veered of from you usual pop and rock into some classic 80/90s alternative music with The Smiths and now The Pixies. This is the soundtrack if my childhod thanks to my older brother who had blasting out from a ghetto blaster in his room. The Smiths were his favourite and him and his pal had quiffs like Morrissey. I would get sent too church jumble sales with a couple of £ to bring back old mens shirts and jackets to complete the look and keep the change because jumble sales were the last place theyd want to be seen. My even older sister said she would pretend not to know him as and his mate danced like Morrissey up dancing minus the flowers .
Also think you would LOVE Matthew Herbert...although he is a bit obscure. The album Bodily Functions is a cool jump off point. No two of his albums are alike, although there is this obvious undertone in them all that is fundamentally Herbert. Maybe check him out in private...not sure it would get tons of views, but I do think you would love it
If you don't know her, I'd suggest Bad Girls Jimmy, and whatever others suggest. Obviously Paper Planes is what most have heard, so I'd only suggest it on the off chance that you haven't heard it.
