One thing that I've hated for years and will remain to hate until I die is people who say the Pixies only had one good album.. Regardless of the fact it's always people who don't know what they're talking about in the first place, it still bugs me. Firstly, I really don't feel they are a band you can just LIKE, it is not possible because there is normally a fucking eagerness to hear everything because the sound is so exciting and unlike anything else. The music is also obsessive and strange and so the fans tend to be obsessive and strange over them; they are always 'the best band in the world', not just a band you like. Any real fan I talk to (someone that hasn't just watched fight club) has a story behind their relationship with the Pixies. They always seem to remember why and how they first got into them or who introduced them to the band. It's a band you can't help but go the whole hog with, and that get you into so much other music. SO, a true fan - someone who is truly MOVED by the magic and uniqueness in either Come on pilgrim,Surfer Rosa or Doolittle (whichever one is supposedly the 'good one' to them) will see that all the same magic and mystery is still alive in Bossanova, Trompe Le Monde because so much of the feelings come from within and they are blatantly still so great and unique. I'm not saying you can't like a band and think one of their albums is shit...umm Gang of four's 'Songs of the Free' is fucking shit, some Dinosaur jr albums are defo better than others and as much as it pains me to say it some new Butthole Surfers songs are just complete balls. But you can literally see and feel the difference in quality in these cases and it sucks to realise it. But the pixies have a tiny discography (which leaves you wanting more rather than saying they only have one good album) and the same punches and are still so clearly alive up until the end of Trompe Le Monde or even 'Bam Thowk'. In fact, the three closing tracks of Trompe Le Monde and the order of them will always pump the pants off you, what a combo. So stop just talking shit. You can't just like them, fuck off. People are just kidding themselves on and can get right to fuck 'cause it's not a band where you can just listen to one album or a few songs and think 'aw that's nice' and then not go back to for five years. It progresses until you know everything. PEOPLE SHOULD JUST FUCK OFF. fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off. Aye, this argument is based on bitterness, rage and opinion rather than actual facts or arguments, but still fuck right off.
Other things I hate are Gumtree, snoring, clammy nights, clumpy mascara, people who don't shut the fuck up about Starbucks and oversized dids. BYE.
Haha Megan, keep the passion alive, it's excellent.
