Here comes your man!
My husband is a huge Pixies fan.
For those of you who are familiar with The Pixies….a small band out of Massachusetts that went on to create music history. Even my favorities….Bono (U2) and David Bowie consider The Pixies one of the most influential bands in music history! Within a year of Mike and I dating, I had the chance to see the Pixies here in Raleigh, but as a good girlfriend and someone who at the time could only name 2 Pixies tunes (Debaser, Here comes your man, Wave of Mutilation, etc)…I gave up my tickets so a few of our now close friends could go. They were huge fans, so it was an easy choice.
This was the Pixies reunion tour (2005). Mike was stoked…eventhough the Disco Rodeo did not have air conditioning and can Bud Light was $5!
Over the weekend, Mike and I watch a documentary on the Pixies. Old videos, interviews, etc. It was pretty neat. I think Mike has always had a crush on Kim Deal (bassist) ……..the same kind of crush I have always had on Michael Stipe or Michael Hutchence. By the way, Kim and her sister were The Breeders before they broke up.
If you are into music that has let’s say….alot of expression and emotion…..take a listen…..
FYI - During our wedding, Mike and the groomsman walked down to an instrumental version of Here Comes Your Man. Not sure if anyone knew. (I walked down to Yellow by Coldplay….also instrumental!)
