scottheisel Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Killer compilation, and it was actually my first exposure to the Pixies outside of Fight Club (whichever came out first). I wish I would've bought it on vinyl back in the day. The best tracks are the Weezer and Siren Six! ones, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benchwarmer Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I've only hear some tracks from it. wave is one of my favorite songs, I'll have to check out the superdrag version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I had the Get Up Kids song on my computer from ages ago and before I knew who the Pixies were I thought it was an original. My brother owns this tribute record and I think its one of the very few tributes worth owning. Solid tunes all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those songs where I actually like the cover better than the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadetapplesauce Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 i've only heard a handful of pixies songs, and i've only heard the weezer and nada surf tracks on this thing. it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 goddammit. True story, every time I hear/see mention of "Alec Eiffel", I get the fucking outro of the song in my head. It's seriously the catchiest fucking thing ever, and it will be in my head for days. For the rest of the week, until my vacation starts, my coworkers are going to hear me singing it at my desk. Fuck this thread and fuck the fucking Pixies for writing that. And fuck the Get Up Kids for doing such a good cover of it. Fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobe Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 i've only heard a handful of pixies songs, and i've only heard the weezer and nada surf tracks on this thing. it's good. go buy "Death to the Pixies" right now! Although it may be OOP, if so grab "Wave of Mutilation: The Best Of" right now and prepare to find one of your new favorite bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
