It is now a famous if little-known fact that when Charles Thompson and Joey Santiago formed the Pixies, an ad was placed in the paper saying, "seeking bassist and drummer who enjoy Husker Du and Peter, Paul and Mary."
I just want to point out that while they were setting up the stage after the opening band in Minneapolis, the house music playing was Peter, Paul, and Mary. When they were setting up the stage in Winnipeg after HAM they were playing Husker Du.
Seems to be sort of an inside joke for hardcore fans. Did they do the same thing at any of the other shows, did anyone notice?

| hehe i was there at the hotel with Charles when he was opening those Peter, Paul, & Mary and Husker Du CDs and mixing them for the opening music of the shows. He was having a little trouble ripping them to his mac notebook, but he got it all figured out. |

Yeah, in Saskatoon they were playing Husker Du before the opener and PPM between the opener and the Pixies. I think. Or maybe it was Husker Du in Winnipeg and PPM here. In any case, both in good amounts.

Most of the house music was just blending in to the background noise in Minneapolis at first. It wasn't until "If I Had a Hammer" that I noticed it.

| They're also playing a lot of Jesus&Mary Chain's "Head On" before the shows. I've heard this in Vancouver and Winnipeg; pretty cool. |

| Since some people stayed in the building for the show, I take it they weren't playing Husker Du's "Land Speed Record". |

What's your connection to the band? How is it that you were in the hotel with them?
