| I remember it perfectly.It was back in 8th grade and I was watching the movie Pump Up The Volume.Well one of the songs they play on it is The Pixies "wave of mutilation (uk surf) at a really sad part in the movie.I eventually picked up the soundtrack and i remember playing it alot.I liked most of the songs on it and i remember how sad and beautiful it made me feel.I recall hitting the repeat button a bunch of times for that track.Ahh, good times. |

first song I ever heard was Gigantic, on my first trip into NYC from a small hick town in western NY. I was sitting in my friend's apartment and she said "you have to hear this song, it's amazing" and played it. I was about 16. She was right.
From then, I bought everything pixies I could get my hands on. Forged new friendships over the Pixies. and flew to California just to see them. then to NJ.
I am in love 7 years later, and there has been no itch. |

Exactly the same for me !
After that, I bought Doolittle and I was disappointed of the fast version of Wave of Mutilation but I was so impressed by the rest of the album! I bought all the other albums the week after. |

| Mr Grieves, on a mix tape I borrowed off of a workmate about 1990. I remember liking it a big heapload more than the rest of the stuff on the tape. Bought Dolittle shortly afterwards, and so on... |

Wow! To discover the Pixies at 12/13, and with so much crap aimed in your direction is amazing. To be so enlightened at such an early age...that's cool.
My first song was Trompe Le Monde.
What an introduction to the greatest band I've ever seen
(hehe...i've seen them. yay! never would have thought back then) |

Also I saw the pixies 12/18 show which was amazing and especially with crappy music aimed in my direction lol

I still remember it vividly. It was the blessed year 1990, when the artist formerly known as Prince, was currently known as Prince. I was 13, just listening to the radio, and then... I heard the Pixies sing (Velouria actually), and they changed everything, the speed they're traveli-i-ing... :)
The second one was Ana, also heard that one on the radio.
After that, I went out to buy my first real album, Bossanova. |

Tame, when I was 15. My then-girlfriend got a Pixies mix tape from a friend of her dad's and lent it to me. I was hooked

My brother had a Velouria transcription for piano. They actually sold it at stores years ago.
Once trying it out and finally hearing the actual song, I became a fan...instantly! Just like magic!

"planet of sound"
trompe le monde cassette tape.
1995.
and I recalled the time some three years earlier (four maybe?) my best friend and i were going to some function and he another girl were bemoaning the fact that the Ps had just broke up. they were bummed. i didn't know 'em 'til after FB's solo album came out. bought it. loved it. went back to love the Ps a little too late. just reconfirmed my poor lot in life that I'm condemned to dig only bands that have broken up or members are dead or they will never never never never never play together again.
2004 and 2005 are wish-come-true days, man. |

Bone machine - on KROQ 106.7, Jedd the Fish and Richard Blade used to play it. It was an underground hit for awhile in L.A. Back when KROQ was not so commercial, Indie 103.1 rules now. They even played Here Comes Your Man alot.
Indie has an intro cart for Debaser and another for Gigantic - cool.
Got hooked by WIMM.

I recall Bone Machine quite a bit on KROQ ("the rock of the eightees!"). Also, I caught Velouria (!) on Indie 103.1 two weekends ago. I was like, "NO WAY!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!"
I was alone...in my BIG BED

| I remember hearing Gigantic on the radio around '93 when there was waaaaaaay too much of that cutesy alterna-schlock crap all over the radio and mtv. So I dismissed it as such since I was very much into hardcore punk then. I thought Kim was saying,"Hey Parley, Parley, Parley" and was like,"Boy this sucks! Who's cares about her friend Parley who's probably some nerdy Hollywood b-hole with thick black framed glasses, tousled hair and some Napoleon Dynamite style t-shirt on." But now I got all the Pixies stuff. Late bloomer I guess. |
