      Great album, too bad it was released in one of the greatest years for music ever.
      I have TLM as my #3 of 1991, behind only Loveless and Spiderland.

    I'm totally in love with the Bossanova/Trompe era. Outer space, UFO Pixies. They never sounded so great. It's a f*cking shame they don't play those songs anymore. Trompe, Letter to Memphis, Palace of the Brine, The Happening, Space I Believe in... ARGH... fortunately enough, they still play The Sad Punk, which is probably one the best rock song ever written.

      They played Usher Hall in Edinburgh, while on tour with Beneath the Eerie. It happened to be the anniversary of Trompe original release on that day. Sweet memories, they played like five songs from Trompe

    I have huge respect for Paul Schaffer and the CBS orchestra, but I seriously hate how they used to "infiltrate" their guest artists with their noodling. I mean, they're great and all, but just let the guest bands do their own thing. Seriously? Reducing the band's actual drummer to play air drums so that Anton Fig can play the drums instead? Step aside and let the guest have their spot!

      I agree with what you say, but keep in mind this was back in the NBC days of Letterman. That studio was absolutely tiny. There was no room for two full drum kits, and they moved so fast through the show it just wasn't possible. I attended a viewing and the musical guest was just Brian Setzer solo, so there was no problem. But with a full band like most guests they had to fake it. And yeah, it's super awkward, but that's what makes it entertaining now!

    Back in the day, the #1 format for music was records. Music stores had shelving and display systems that were designed for 12" records. When the CD format first started out, record stores had to find a way to use their existing shelves to display the new format. The long box packaging was a way to address this, rather than have stores buy all new shelving. Eventually, around 1990, CD players dropped in price significantly, which meant more people started buying CDs and the packaging changed.

  • @BrylockVonRock
    @BrylockVonRock 13 лет назад +1

    CD longboxes are a holdover from vinyl. Record store owners complained about having to buy all new shelving for smaller formats when cassettes became popular. The solution they came up with was to put them in those giant plastic security things so that they would fit in the vinyl bins. When CDs came along, they packaged them in the big boxes for the same reason.

      You think the Pixies just said "hey, will your drummer play so ours can stand around looking like an idiot with a shaker"?
      Letterman had some weird rule about bands back then. He didn't trust new, unknown bands or something. I forget the details but that's why David and Kim are barely there, not because they wanted to be replaced on their own song.

    "It is named by some guy named Joe"= The title "Trompe le monde" came from guitarist Joey Santiago. "And the words are the letters of the words"= Charles loves anagrams. They are all over his lyrics. "Said, electrically played, for outer space and those of they who paid"= For outer space meaning radio broadcasts into space and waves from 1992 are now 23 light years away from earth. For those who paid meaning those who bought the record. "This song is twice occurred"= the moment it was recorded + the moment it is decoded by your brain.

    I actually like Paul Shaffer's contribution, and I'm a huge, huge Pixies fan. His organ solo adds a proggy vibe that compliments the sci-fi theme of the song nicely. Artists knew back then that when you go on Letterman, you jam with the band -- that's just the deal. Nonetheless, seeing David Lovering air-drumming in the background is comically surreal.

    • @OriginalPinkbird

      Shows your ignorance of music and the era.; Nobody in the audience would have been thinking about Queen., as they were long forgotten in the US by that time. Also, the only American TV show the band ever performed on was SNL in 1982. I do agree however that the crowd was definitely thinking "shitty band", but hey I suppose you're probably pretty satisfied with yourself for being blessed with a highbrow music sensibility that allows you to appreciate such an "edgy" band!

    I would have to believe that anybody referring to The Pixies as "underrated", mean to say that they undersold. No big hits or radio play kind of thing. Almost to a man/woman, every musician I speak to loves the Pixies and most name them as an inspiration. Anybody with any taste other than that in their mouths loves the Pixies =)....Ok the last sentence was conjecture but hell I stand by it.
