The Pixies - Doolittle (1989)

I always end up coming back to this album, it’s the kind that you can come back to, and I love it so much. I love The Pixies and I’m always torn between Surfer Rosa and this one (despite Bossanova having Is She Weird on it) simply because I love the way they transition from their main hits (see Wave Of Mutilation, Debaser, Monkey Gone To Heaven) to a bunch of ‘other songs’ that sound just as good, if a bit less familiar because we’ve all sung along to them a little less. This album is a great album.

Okay, this is officially my favourite Pixies song, and it will be for a while: it’s completely unique compared to the rest of Bossanova - it’s not as shouty, but it’s still got its edge. It’s incredibly bassy, and the bass is what draws me in, no matter how much I try not to notice it. I absolutely fucking adore this, the bounce of it across the chorus is just something that makes me want to see these guys live and it makes my heart sing.
