Preparing for the Pixies

Wednesday night / Thanksgiving morning at 1 A.M., I'll be at the Pixies' final show of a four-gig NYC run performing their entire classic album 'Doolittle.' Yay. I'm excited -- especially for this song:



True, I enjoy the Breeders a lot more; Kim's songwriting is far more affecting to me than Charles'. But the Pixies have a grit, a loud guitar crunch that hits you hard, and I hear the audio levels at Hammerstein Ballroom, the venue of the show, let Joey's lead guitar carry the show. Perfect.
