When asked about the Pixies, bands love to make comments like these reported on Slate. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. You can't keep copying them. Pretty much every alternative rock and indie band owes something to the Pixies. As Spin magazine put it in , "So many bands have owed so much to Surfer Rosa over the past 17 years that it's hard to grasp how freaky and futuristic the album sounded in What we're getting at is that Pixies' influence has become so ingrained in the foundations of modern rock that extracting every bit of it would be, well, a lot of work.

Suffice it to say they're really, really important. Josh Frank, Fool the World: The Oral History of the Band Called Pixies This collection of quotes tells the story of the Pixies through the words of the band members, record industry and music professionals who worked with the group, and later artists who were influenced by the band.

Doolittle Here's another classic Pixies album. Where Is My Mind? Good intentions aside, for the most part the album doesn't do justice to either the Pixies or their supposed disciples. While the Pixies managed to be folky, poppy, surfy, and deranged -- often within the course of one song -- bands like Eve 6 and Local H just don't have that kind of musical scope within their grasp, so songs like "Allison," "Velouria," and "Tame" get flattened and stripped of the sonic twists and turns that made them great in the first place.

Eve 6 's "Allison" reworks the manic tribute to Mose Allison into pleasant but forgettable coffeehouse pop. Weezer 's leaden, chugging rhythm drags the normally buoyant "Velouria" to the ground; the results are an unfortunate postmortem for both groups. Meanwhile, Braid 's "Trompe Le Monde," Superdrag 's "Wave of Mutilation," the Promise Ring 's "Gouge Away," and Local H 's "Tame" are all adequate but uninspired mimeographs of the original versions, reproduced so carefully that they sound like especially well-done karaoke.

But many of the bands that try to be creative on Where Is My Mind? Reel Big Fish 's transformation of "Gigantic" into a Casio-based dance song is interesting in theory, but annoying in practice, as is the Siren Six!

Acoustic bass and guitar and brushed drums mix with hovering synths and bursts of fuzzy guitar for a refreshingly forward-looking take on a great song.

The distant, static-y vocal treatment on Far 's cover of "Monkey Gone to Heaven" emphasizes the surreal, detached nature of Black Francis ' eco-ballad, and the orchestral version of "Caribou" by Sense Field capitalizes on the song's eerie, dreamy beauty. Sadly, moments like these are few and far between. Though Where Is My Mind? AllMusic relies heavily on JavaScript. Some people credit Fight Club for bringing the song to a larger audience.

It was a great scene that highlighted it, so I suppose there must be some truth there. I get offers once a week for yet another advertisement, movie or TV show to use it. I say yes to all of them. We recorded in a modest studio in Boston but it sounded great. The band played well and my job was pretty easy.

There were parts of the song that needed a dynamic blow-up where things would get heavier but the band were playing through really small amps. I suggested some Marshall amps for the big loud parts — they took to that like a fish to water.

The studio was limited — one performing room — so we used the big communal washroom.
