Almost started a new topic, but felt this fit here. I am sure some people are aware, but I found the backstory for this song very interesting. A cover of a “fake” cover.
I was on a flight to Glasgow a couple weeks ago via United Airlines and was surprised to see that they had a full pro-shot concert from a Paris date last year.
I really enjoyed this one. A classical musician breaks down The Happening after first listen. When she starts playing it on the harp it reminds me of how much that song sounds like something Badalamenti would have written. Her interpretation of hypnosis is also interesting. What a great song
i've noticed an uptick in YouTube reaction videos to Pixies music in the last year or two. it seems like an organic trend. perhaps the mundanity of recent music trends has led to more interest in bands that do things differently? check out some of these results: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pixies+reaction
This was something I found years and years ago but I never posted about it at the time. I then completely forgot how I found it until just now. It shows Kim and Kelley copywriting music as far back as 1980. It gives you a bit of an idea how long Kim had been writing music before she started in the Pixies. Kim and Kelley were both born on a date that corresponds to a 'Gemini' astrological sign so I wonder if that explains the titles? I wonder if they were performing under that name too?
Not worth a topic, but at least postable...
