They likely were influenced by a lot of "punk rock" folks - including Carroll, but it's not as if Carroll alone created that sound. To me, they always seemed more influenced by Patti Smith than any other artists. |

I am listening to Jim Carroll's 'Catholic Boy' right now and agree that he was a huge influence in the Pixies sound. Jim was influenced by Bob Dylan I feel also from his storytelling lyrics. Can't wait to receive my Pixies SACD disc's from ebay!

... and who cares? Well, to be fair, the main reason one listens to someone elses broadcast is to not know what is coming next so I would say we should care if it becomes too predictable. |

I couldn't figure out who Cake sort of reminded me of until I heard the opening of this song. Then it clicked.

Thanks for that. And keep up the good work. Now see if you can find 10 more reused playlists, and your job will be half done. |

hitchhikers , and blaring this album all the way there. rad.

Ha, I've had this CD on auto-repeat in my car for the past few days. Good stuff, although this is far from the strongest track on the album.

Along with Radiohead and Cake, the Pixies are another band rated highly by the RP audience that I just don't get.

Pixies are great - I saw them live in Munich in the 90´s and it is one of the best concerts I´ve ever seen so far!
