@bassplayeroceanside Egads. So go back to your own ethnic Beach Boys, Ventures, Paul Revere and the Raiders white-boy music, you bleach-ass white boy. Punk rock *and hating punk rock* belong to everybody.
That's what we old punk rockers fought for: the right for all people to have a chance to not suck. The right, but also the responsibility -- if they choose to accept it.
This song has such an edge to it but at the same time its very pop.It just explodes at you like really inspired art tends to.Its an incredible start to Doolittle.It's kinda really life affirming which is funny given the lyrics.I got the Doolittle album this past Xmas and have been mesmerized by it.If anybody who views this only likes a few pixies song but doesn't have one of their albums pick up Doolittle it's fuckin incredible.
I love bands that you can tell were influenced by The Velvet Underground. Do the vocals not remind anyone of Lou Reed just a little bit from The Velvet Underground?
@luckyjinxer When i posted that i was thinking more outside the box. Every article i have read has said blah blah blah pixies nirvana blah blah pixies radiohead, i was like duh.
I didn't know until about a year ago why Pixies broke up. Makes me angry/sad: when you're in one of the best bands in history, find a way to get along! Who KNOWS what other masterpieces might have been created?!
My mom knew this band. Especially the lead singer of this band, Charles. He was a pretty silly, funny nice guy. I wish I knew him too, he sounded real cool.
@SmellOfGasoline Really? My mother knew him too..... Her friend Jeff knew him very well, and she even went to a few parties n stuff with him and jeff.
@TheSecondManofJazz Yeah. Haha she said they were always on tour in England so after a while she stopped seein him so much. But yeah lots of parties and stuff.
this is the stuff (along with the clash and some gentle bach) that helps to get me pissed (drunk) in the morning and sets me up for another day of talking to myself and not listening or talking over myself ...love it loveit loveit
Papa roach are not even on the same planet as the pixies. How many bands have been inspired by papa roach(not local cover bands) no pixies,no nirvana, just one example
and you really think that the Pixies are better than Papa roach? and that Frank Blak has more talent in his left nutt, than whole Papa Roach? I think it's the other way around !
@PeeRoachFreak I don't know whether to just sit here in complete bewilderment or just brush it off and laugh my ass off! With the exception of The Beatles, The Pixies were the greatest band ever and Black Francis is in the top 5 songwriters of all time. On the other hand, (and I'm not even exaggerating here) Papa Roach would be in my top 2 or 3 worst bands of the last 20 years...NO FUCKING DOUBT ABOUT IT!!!!! You need to get yourself some professional help, because you have some serious issues!
@iTspErsonAL3657 HELL YEAHZ SKATE 3 . . . this and London Dingeon by The Misfits made that soundtrack 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000X better!!!
@tibet220 I guess from what Im understanding "a good idea" was a sorta tribute to the Pixies. Bob Mould is a huge Pixies fan and Frank Black, Black Francis, Charles Thompson is a huge Husker Du fan.
@cnmaccess2 Yeah, the story goes is that Kim Deal answered an add that Charles Thompson made looking for players influence by Peter, Paul. and Mary and Husker Du. I think Mould acknowledges that the opening riff to "A Good Idea" is a shout out to the Pixies.
Haha, I took this class and THE DEBASER WAS MY PROFESSOR! Hasn't changed a bit. He still spoils the movies, There is still eyeball slicing in the film, we still what will happen beforehand. LOVE them and can't believe I got the very specific insight from taking the same class this is written about with the same professor. Awesome. Freaking awesome song too :)
Just shut the hell up and enjoy the music.
