Daily Jam - All Over the World

I feel like most Pixies fans tend to gravitate towards either "Surfer Rosa" or "Doolittle."  And i get that.  They're two excellent albums.  But for me, it's all about "Bossanova," because it has songs like "All Over the World" on it.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Winterlong

Daily Jam - Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)

Yesterday we played an alternate version of a Radiohead song.  Today it's an alternate version of a Pixies song.  Here's the wonderful "Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Head On

There are a handful of things that stick to my memory of when I moved into my very first apartment over 20 years ago. I remember that the humidity on move-in day was ridiculous, the Austin air a thick soup of uncomfortable moisture and oppressive heat. I remember being attracted to the pretty woman who worked in the complex’s leasing office, her Bettie Page aura and demeanor being way, way out of my league. I remember my mom cried at the airport when she flew back home to Midland. I remember the pain in the ass that was assembling my heavy, particle board desk. I remember my dad bought a 6-pack of Shiner for my roommate and me. And I remember getting into a friendly argument with the clerk at the corner store as to whether or not “Head On” was a Jesus and Mary Chain song or a Pixies song. Turns out we were both right.

But I was more right.

The Pixies did indeed record a version of “Head On” for their 1991 album Trompe le Monde, but it was a cover of the tune that originally appeared on The Jesus and Mary Chain’s 1989 album Automatic. Both versions are excellent, but I’m partial to the original, the drum and synth heavy surf rock-riffing jam hitting my earspace in all of the right places.

But let’s listen to both today anyway.

Daily Jam - Velouria

I'm probably in the minority on this one, but "Bossanova" is my favorite Pixies album.  Come join me over at Team Bossanova.  Here's "Velouria," our Daily Jam.

For some reason, this post (along with several others) from back in March was deleted in err by Blogger.  They have reinstated it, but i'm having to repost it.
