    The Pixies: Cactus

    Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
    Just wishing that I had just something you wore
    I put it on when I go lonely
    Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

The album spun off two major alt-rock hits -- "Velouria" and "Dig for Fire." Interesting story -- Pixies started work on this album in February 1990.

  3. Hi Mastodon,

    I’d like to reintroduce myself and introduce my album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy”.

    I write songs and over the past 6 years roughly, I’ve collected 10 from about 100 to be recorded, mixed and mastered. As of today, those 10 songs are available to listen to at bandcamp as the album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy” (alastairleonard.bandcamp.com/a)

    There are songs about fleeting marketplace romances (Sunflowers), and going in search of your life’s purpose (Desert Rose). There are other songs about taking the easy road and waking up late (Mid-Morning Guy) and the housing crisis in Australia (Yoshino Removals). There are even more songs — about bad haircuts (West Coast Haircut) and the disappearance of the bees (Honey Bee). The title track follows a pair of cufflinks given to me as a young man and their trajectory through the following decades. All the lyrics are up there so you can read along while listening if that’s your preference.

    The music is roughly what I’d call indie-pop including jangly guitars numbers and piano ballads but there are forays into country twang, latin percussion, and doof. Some of my influences include #jeffreylewis #bjork #davidberman #cassandrajenkins #dangelo #leonardcohen #hopesandovalandthewarminventions #lucindawilliams #jenslekman #jonathanrichman #ninasimone #arethafranklin #pixies #thecure #thefieldmice #thesundays #thelemonheads #themagneticfields #tmbg #thegobetweens #motown

    Attention is a commodity these days and I don’t expect too many people will hear the record; but if you do feel inclined to listen and can find a moment, I hope you find something joyful in these songs. Creating A Cufflink-Wearing Guy has been a labour of love. Mostly love, a little labour. Until next time, keep looking on the bright side. Thanks for reading. AL

  4. #NowPlaying Pixies - Surfer Rosa (1988)

    Detalhe é que ganhei o album de presente de natal dos meus cunhados e o disco tem várias referencias a Porto Rico. Bem pertinente, não? Deixo um link (em inglês) falando sobre a relação dúbia do Frank Black e desse album con la isla:

  5. Surfer Rosa

Corgan, Cobain, PJ Harvey and more have acknowledged its inspiration.

  6. They don't make music videos like they used to - "Alec Eiffel" by Pixies, about

    music.youtube.com/watch?v=y0ug

    "The song references the French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, who designed the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty; Francis thought it was a "fascinating subject" to compose a song about."

  7. This is _exactly_ how #SurferRosa sounded to me too (comment by PJ Harvey):

    theguardian.com/music/article/

    ’ I wanted to work with Steve from the moment I heard Surfer Rosa by #Pixies. I had never heard anything as powerfully moving, both emotionally and sonically, and knew I wanted to hear my songs within that sound – a sound so alive, it was as if you were there in the room while the blaze of emotion was taking place. ’
