What could possibly be the reason for this?
Probably the same reason as why Harness Your Hopes is the most streamed Pavement-song (a b-side!)
Some algorithm-magic!

| Paz has left the band and Emma Richardson has taken over. Seems she left Band of Skulls a few months ago. |

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.
https://surfguitar101.com/forums/topic/30395/
Not sure how to make the link live.
Edit: or do I?
Edit: Cecilia Ann is the song.

| 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 |

An interesting Spotify stat:
'All I Think About Now' is the 10th most listened to song in the entire Pixies catalogue having more listens than any other song on ‘Come On Pilgrim’, ‘Bossanova’, ‘Trompe Le Monde’, ‘Indie Cindy’, ‘Head Carrier’ or ‘Beneath the Eerie’, as well as more listens than any FB/BF/Catholics song or any Breeders song, excluding 'Cannonball'.
Quite the achievement for Paz's first songwriting contribution!
Just to update this 'All I Think About Now' is still rapidly gaining listens on Spotify. It's now the 7th most listened to Pixies song on the platform at 39.9 million listens behind 'Where Is My Mind?' (662.3m), 'Here Comes Your Man' (169.9m), 'Hey' (145.5m), 'Debaser' (81.9m), 'Monkey Gone To Heaven' (68m) and 'Gouge Away' (40.5m). Quite unbelievable really. From what I can gather it's a Spotify playlist thing.

I remember making this list right after Doggerel was released...
1) 26,646,022 - All I Think About Now
2) 5,780,305 - Greens and Blues
3) 5,115,726 - On Graveyard Hill
4) 5,012,642 - Indie Cindy
5) 4,732,358 - Catfish Kate
6) 3,392,287 - Human Crime
7) 2,909,109 - Head Carrier
8) 2,813,708 - Tenement Song
9) 2,577,877 - Classic Masher
10) 2,519,517 - Magdalena 318
I think Might As Well Be Gone and Um Chagga Lagga were 11 & 12. Maybe There's a Moon On has crept into the top 10 now. I wonder if there have been big changes other than AITAN sky rocketing. |

Actually it looks like Human Crime has overtaken Greens and Blues now.
I wanted to make a playlist of the top 12 out of curiosity . I definitely spent more time looking at the numbers than I did listening to the playlist. |

Wow, that’s an interesting list
Some make sense to me, others not so much
I personally love the Tenement Song, my favorite track on Head Carrier, but didn’t think many liked it |

| I feel like Albini's death may deserve its own thread, seems like a huge topic. |

Only recently realised how many albums Albini produced - or was a sound engineer for. Seems like most/all artists he worked with trusted and respected him a great deal.
Still to listen to Shellac, is on my list. Would rather a new Pixies album produced by Albini than Dalgety but hey ho it is what it is. Gary Smith from Fort Apache passed away last year as well, he was also instrument for Come In Pilgrim. |

Not a fan of space woman?
I thought that was a better album than most
True though that nothing came close to Pod |

I really liked All Nerve (the album as well as the song) a lot. |

I like all her stuff, but it's always same old, same old
I'm not really complaing, because it's all good.
The only thing that seems a bit different is Last Splash to me (more overdubs, complexer arrangments?)
