This is a little bit misleading, this song is, as an introduction to Pixies. Because one, they’re about as unpixielike as four human beings can be. And two, most of their other stuff isn’t quite as sinfully catchy as this. You hear it and think, “Here’s an awesome chipper pop band!” but then you find out they’re ugly and kind of dark and abrasive sometimes. I’ll frankly say I find everything besides Doolittle too brash and punky for my old lady tastes. But I’ll give it to them, they still sound about as cutting edge as they ever did. First time someone played Doolittle for me, I was sure it was the latest indie pop darlings, not some relic from 1989.
