Stereogum - She & Him Cover The Smiths' "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want".
There's a long history of "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want"
covers in movies: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Not Another Teen Movie, Sky High...
OK, not that long. But you can add to the list (500) Days Of Summer, the Zooey
Deschanel/Joseph Gordon-Levitt love story with the meaningful-core soundtrack
(its trailer opens with the leads bonding over "There Is A Light That Never Goes
Out"). I think I saw an advertisement for it somewhere? Zooey's joined here by her
songwriting partner, folk monster Matt Ward, and theirs is a ghostly, twangy
take on the Smiths' briefest ballad, appropriate for the last dance at a '50s prom
(ask grandma).
Here's what else you'll find on the soundtrack. (I'd say cue the Garden State
comparisons, but you probably did that when Joseph Gordon-Levitt appeared in
oversize headphones.)
01 Mychael Danna And Rob Simonsen - "A Story Of Boy Meets Girl"
02 Regina Spektor - "Us"
03 The Smiths - "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"
04 Black Lips - "Bad Kids"
05 The Smiths - "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want"
06 Doves - "There Goes The Fear"
07 Hall & Oates - "You Make My Dreams"
08 The Temper Trap - "Sweet Disposition"
09 Carla Bruni - "Quelqu'un M'a Dit"
10 Feist - "Mushaboom"
11 Regina Spektor - "Hero"
12 Simon & Garfunkel - "Bookends"
13 Wolfmother - "Vagabond"
14 Mumm-Ra - "She's Got You High"
15 Meaghan Smith - "Here Comes Your Man"
16 She & Him - "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want"
And the Pixies' "Here Comes Your Man" is used in a karaoke scene.

We hate this so much, we can’t even describe it. It’s like the Pixies via some horrible MIDI program. Download it if
you want it. We don’t want it. Maybe the producers couldn’t affor the Pixies’ original version?

Alice Donut's lyrics take on what they view as the perversities, odd
details, and petty humiliations of life. Their lyrical subject matter
focuses on topics including depravity, domestic violence, sexuality,
and eggs. Add in a trombone-based version of the Pixies "Where Is
My Mind" and you've got a brand new Alice Donut classic!

Punknews.org - Lemuria: "Alec Eiffel".
The Playlist - Exclusive: 'Observe & Report' Soundtrack Due April 7, Features, The Band, Yardbirds, The Dwarves And A Pixies Cover.
Absolut Noise - mp3 blog / Swedish Rock Music - A PIXIES COVER... IN SWEDISH !
Strangeglue - Albums Out This Week: W/C 6th April 2009.
THE COLOR OF VIOLENCE: YOUTHANIZE
American duo The Color Of Violence is the latest screaming
addition to Epitaph's roster. Their debut album 'Youthanize'
includes a cover of the legendary Pixies track 'Rock Music',
however the album is unlikely to join the Pixies in our collective
hearts; as stated by front-man Travis "It may not be ground-
breaking, and it may not sell any copies, but we tried to be
ourselves and experiment, and we're all really happy with the
way it turned out, so fuck it". Honest and realistic: we like that.
Don't worry Travis, we're sure your mum will buy a copy at least.
Salon Arts & Entertainment - "Observe and Report".
My hunch is that the people who respond to "Observe and Report" will use words like "risky" and "dark" to describe it. Hill is no
dummy: He's playing straight into the audience's desire to be seen as cool and sophisticated. But he's really just pandering to
that audience -- he's not asking anything more of them than to bow down before his bleak, twisted vision. Toward the end of the
picture -- around the time it erupts into cartoony performance-art violence -- a cover of an old Pixies' song, attributed to a
band called City Wolf, drifts onto the soundtrack. It asks the question, "Where Is My Mind?" and I'm afraid I know the answer: I
lost it at the movies.
ARTISTdirect News - Playlist: Jody Hill
2. City Wolf — "Where Is My Mind" (Pixies Cover)
"That's my buddy Joey Stephens, who's actually the composer on this. It was great. He
wrote the music for our first film, The Foot Fist Way. I keep my friends close. I went to
film school with Ben Best, Danny McBride and David Gordon Green, and we all still
collaborate. It's a great way to work."
ARTISTdirect Music - Album Reviews: Youthanize by The Color of Violence.
Kicking off with a crushing cover of The Pixies' "Rock Music," Youthanize follows
through with a barrage of frantic angled notes and a raw percussion.
The Scorecard Review - Observe and Report.
Sounds: The soundtrack uses an appealing collection of songs that span from classic, easy going
rock (The Band) to punk (Mclusky). It should be reported that Observe has the absolute best
usage of the track “Where Is My Mind” since it was first made popular by the last scene of Fight
Club. Oddly, this film doesn’t use the original version by The Pixies but an updated one by a band
called City Wolf.
Score: 8
Daily Vanguard - The life and times of Storm Large.
A beautiful rendition of The Pixies’ “Where is My
Mind” was wonderful on its own, but the connection was lost between song and story.
Punknews.org - The Color of Violence - Youthanize.
The duo take a chance by opening their long-gestating debut, Youthanize, with a cover of Pixies' "Rock Music."
Bloom says it was a clever nod to the Pixies, who themselves opened the album "Rock Music" comes from (1990's
Bossanova) with a cover, the Surftones' "Cecilia Ann." Makes sense, one supposes, and the band have an
interesting and naturally screamy take on it.
Retro Music Snob (MP3's): Rhett Miller (of The Old 97's) Covers The Pixies "Wave of Mutilation".
Punknews.org - Lemuria / Off with Their Heads - Under the Influence Vol. 7 [7 inch].
Lemuria tackles the Pixies’ "Alec Eiffel," and while it may be blasphemous to some, Lemuria’s verison is essentially
more Pixies than the Pixies verison. Where the Pixies’ Alec Eiffel has a more distinct `80s sound (though it came out
in 1991) Lemuria’s is much more punk-based, the original school of thought of the Pixies. Of course, it helps that it’s
sung by Lemuria’s Sheena Ozzella, who is a fantastic vocalist and has one of the most attractive voices in punk.
Lemuria’s pace of the song charges ahead in a more guitar-driven way, and where the Pixies version fades out, this
builds up into an aural mess (in a good way) like the Ergs!’s "Upstairs/Downstairs" and slowly dies down, giving the
whole track the room to breath that the Pixies never gave.

Gigantic- This well-known track by the infamous Pixies was one of
the most memorable tracks off their 1988 Surfer Rosa LP. A slower,
more moody take on this track appeared in 1993 by the dream-pop

Before the Pixies show in Sydney 2 weeks ago (which was phenomenal) they were playing some of those "Matthews Celebrity Pixies Covers" over the sound system, it was gold!! Crowd was "wtf" for a while but then it evolved into a singalong...great way to fire up for the main show. From memory they played the Wave of Mutilation (Beach Boys), Hey (Prince), and River euphrates (Tina Turner) |

Ha ha, yeah, but no one else has ever done 'Palace Of the Brine'.
Because they can't figure out the tab. Hint - you need to detune a string and remove another to play it. Also, you have to be drunk and on painkillers from surgery.

http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/cd_reviews/article1576489.ece
One of the many standout tracks is a
thoroughly individual cover of Pixies’ Break My Body, while
elsewhere there are intriguing nods to Tom Waits.
http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/entertainment/music/world_music/s/1004/1004290_hanne_hukkelberg__rykestrasse_68_nettwerk.html
The voice is undenably seductive, although the closest Hanne comes to conventional sexiness is with a cover
of the Pixies' Break My Body, though this is recast as a bonkers sea shanty. The world-view is wide-eyed and
wondering, which is also the likely effect on listeners. |

True, the unpredictable treatments cover
a broad range of styles, from the sparse
fragments of the title track to the banjo-
Bach of Ticking Bomb; from the jazzy, catchy A Cheater's
Armoury to the lush sweep of the Pixies' Break My Body, the
album's sole cover. |

That Debaser is kinda mellow....it's good to hear people doing something different with covers. Brickisred, Titanic is hilarious! That Break My Body (one of my Pixies faves, as I've said before) cover reminds me of Jeff Buckley. That Covers Project Pixes page is interesting stuff, Kitty! I'm sure I've heard that computer version of WIMM? before....
I still haven't heard the tribute albums, must check 'em out!

Upon the silver screen
In another starring role
With her lips she said, Rose ah..
Hey Jack Hey Jack

Hey Jack Hey Jack

Hey Jack Hey Jack
I'm gonna jump off the back
Of the titanic
Titanic, Titanic
A Big Big Boat
Titanic, Titanic, Titanic
A Big Big Boat
What a lovely lady rose
What a big black sea
What a hunk of boat
We'll walk everyday around this big ass boat
We should dock it, but where would we
Hey Jack Hey Jack
I'm gonna jump off the back
Hey Jack Hey Jack
I'm gonna jump off the back
Hey Jack Hey Jack
I'm gonna jump off the back
Of the Titanic
Titanic, Titanic
A Big Big Boat
Titanic, Titanic, Titanic
A Big Big Boat
An iceberg left, you floating here
Just where you were, before it appeared
And its in place, an sea of space
You found you're finally resting place
Titanic, Titanic, Titanic
A Big Big Boat
Titanic, Titanic, Titanic
A Big Big Boat

Actually, I put Debaser by Tin Machine in the compilation as well (just forgot to list it).
I think I have all the tribute albums. The compilation includes several tracks off Pixies Fuckin' Die (by far my favorite tribute album), one off Where Is My Mind, 2 off La La Love You, but none from the Japanese tribute or from the Belgian Death To The Pixies We're Better.
I hesitated about the Teenage Fanclub cover, but though I like the band I am not that found of the cover.
Thanks for the link to the Rogue Wave cover. I did not have this one.
I am trying to compile as many Pixies covers as possible. I have around 200 by now, that can be downloaded through Soulseek (make a search on Pixies Covers). |

I like the version of Debaser on that Japanese tribute cd from many years ago the best--and John Flansburgh's cover of Oddballs too. |
