The Pixies<\/a> are one of the bands that I can put on shuffle and listen to for a morning, or even all day. I don’t think there’s a single track that makes me stop and mutter oh, not now<\/b><\/i>.<\/p>\n

I have picked this particular set of songs today because they are three of my favorites. Here Comes Your Man<\/i> was the #1 most played song in my iTunes for several years, until it got (accidentally) dethroned by a Vienna Teng song, and on a Pixies-only playlist, Allison<\/i> and Dig for Fire<\/i> are right behind it at two and three, respectively.<\/p>\n

The first video is the “official” video, from 1990. The music holds up; the visuals are endearingly dated. Especially the part where they’re playing in an empty stadium. Some of you may not remember but that was a time when there were a lot<\/i> of videos made in empty stadiums.<\/p>\n

\nThe second one is a live video shot during their 2011 tour, which I picked over the “official” video because the official video is weirdly terrible and not in an entertaining way.
