Anybody a PIXIES fan?

[havalina]

Prompted by the repeat showing of their acoustic show on sky, made me watch the DVD which I think was filmed in 1989 or summat, marvelous anyway. Love the Pixies so much, they make me do dancing when drunk, which isn't really a good thing

yes wasnt tanya donnelly half sister to the Deals. no idea how/why that information is in my brain....
i saw nirvana in paris 2 weeks before he er, called it a day. they were amazing.
the only band that i still listen too really often is REM they have stayed with me.
this stuff all used to be so important to me! who would have thought that my soul mate would turn out to be a pink floyd/ queen fan!

Lucky you, moopymoo, I kid you not, I married a Cher fan

Ranting Housewife, I was a Dentists fan! Saw them at Planet X in Liverpool and had their albums 'Some People Are On The Pitch They Think It's All Over It Is Now' and 'Heads and How To Read Them'. I think they were big(gish) in America for a while. Do I get a prize?!

Heard of Love Blobs...

DW was into Acid Jazz til I 're-educated' her (typical overbearing bloke eh?) but she'd been a Stuffie before that.

Cher... not sure I could live with that!

Dadada, you do indeed, am very impressed beyond all recognition that you 've heard of The dentists (and the Loveblobsfact I knew the drummer of the loveblobs!). Have the the LP Heads and how to read them. It's excellent!

And have re educated my Cher fan, he has actually 'borrowed' Lush's Lovelife so I am making progress.

My dp is a prog rock fan (18 years older than me) so I have fuck all hope of converting him, although I did introduce him to the Dresden Dolls, and we have Placebo, SOAD, Polyphonic spree and the Eels in common, not bad I suppose lol

Wisteria, I think I went to the Square Club. I went to college in Swansea and we did venture up the M4. But, you know, we enjoyed ourselves so dates and venues a bit sketchy now.

I loved, loved, loved The Pixies and some b'stard stole my tapes from the car. Clearly a car thief with taste as he left behind the others. I do think about replacing them, I must do that.

Are you still in L Spa? I'm not a million miles from there.

Wisteria I have that Doing it for the Kids compilation on vinyl...
and the Ride EPs too missTimms
saw them two or three times in Bristol...
and Lush
have not heard of the Loveblobs though, damn...

See now I've bared (some) of my obscure album secrets, I think you should all be obliged to remember yours.

Family Cat were from the West Country, maybe Yeovil I think. I think of them a lot actually, mainly as they were the original users of FCUK (Family Cat UK) - I have the t-shirts and badges, before that clothing company nicked the idea

Me and Dh don't agree completely on music (I fell asleep at a Cowboy Junkies concert, he doesn't get why I can have Pixies, Depeche Mode and Crowded House on the same MP3 mix) , but I find it hard to imagine being with someone totally musically incompatable.

Moopymoo - Tanya Donnelly half sister to Kristin Hersh. I loved the Throwing Muses. Interviewed Kristin Hersh one. It was so emabrrassing - I kept banging on about women in rock, and quoting her lyrics at her. She was very kind to me in the circumstances...

My dp refuses to listen to this stuff at all - insists it's all just waily goth women, and leaves the room.

DH just pointed something out......moopymoo, Tanya Donelly is half sister to Kristen Hersh, not the Deal twins.

I am very in awe of you FP, you met Kristin Hersh. Rofl at the waily goth women.

Firepile after the tHROWING mUSES SONG? sorry, caught the caps lock

Does anybody else remember that NME interview that The Throwing Muses did, where they were talking about a man wanking into a chicken and serving it up for dinner. Or did I dream that?

obscure album secrets?
umm
just had a flip through...

Young Gods (weird swiss (?) noise merchants)
Butthole Surfers(weird American noise merchants)
ARKane
lots of My Bloody Valentine (OK not so obscure)
Cranes
American Music Club
King of the Slums
Soup Dragons

rhw - Dh remembers the interview - he went to see them play in Kilburn the day the NME came out and on stage, Kristen blamed the bass player for that little story (apparently I was there too but I really don't remember stuff like that )

Ha ha ha ha, the butthole surfers, yes I remember them, saw MBV at the Brixton Academy.
Get points for the The Young Gods, have NEVER heard of them!

Am relieved that someone else remembers it too Serenity! I mentioned it to someone else and they looked at me like I was mad!

young gods...noisy buggers!
good live...
couldn't stand to listen to them now though I don't think

No definitely haven't heard of them.
Here's th faith healers tho.

Best. Thread. Ever.

I'm doing a lot of revisiting my old music tastes recently, I had a tiny snippet of a song stuck in my head, and had to ask on another community if anyone could remember a song about a prehistoric man in a bog, something-man, four syllables, I am lonely, I am cold? Some absolute darling remembered it for me, and am in absolute bliss with the CD. Anyone got it? Answer below.

And I'm back in touch with the old friend with whom I will always associate Freakscene. When I need a friend it's STILL you.

Jerdacuttup Man by the Triffids

Freakscene is an excellent moshing song!

House of Love, must have seen them about 20 times, I used to collect the playlists and stick them on my wall (saddo I know) Anyone still need to jump around to Christine?
