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.

Wow, haven't heard this in a long time, thanks for playing it!  Brings back some college memories.

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!

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.{#Yes}

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.

love this song. reminds of the early 90's driving to Whistler after school, stoned, picking up
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!

I'm at a loss as to how you would prefer he handle it.  Give up the luxury of sleep? Employ staff and/or family to man the microphone 24/7?  Put the MP3 player on Shuffle/All?  Or maybe you, like me, are a master of the obvious and just had to share :)

  Nothing wrong with that. A lot of thought goes into putting them together.

Love the Pixies! "Here Comes Your Man" off the "Doolittle" album is one of my all-time favorite tunes (hint, hint Bill). They also did a most excellent cover of Niel Young's "Winterlong" on the "Bridge Tribute" album (another hint Bill).
