A classic album by a classic band. God I love the Pixies.

Okay, I couldn't wait any longer and I just re listened to Surfer Rosa during lunch in its entirety. It wasn't hard to do because it's a little over 30 minutes. My thought is this: the record is brilliant! Better than Doolittle? I am starting to see that it is equal. It's more raw and just feels super unhinged! To this day those guitars and drums just sounds like a untamed beast coming to destroy your ears. It was pretty invigorating! If it feels so fresh and badass now, I wonder how fuxking mind blowing it must have been to peeps when they first heard it in 88? Unbelievable!

I listened to Bossanova earlier today (and I had no idea about the 25th anniversary). Way better even if it has no "Where Is My Mind?".

Surfer Rosa is Pixies' weakest album. Tomorrow we'll be celebrating The Beatles' 2nd-3rd weakest album, which means it's a fantastic album that we'll be celebrating! It's going to be a magic day (once I'm done with some crappy school-related nonsense 😐 )!

Better than Doolittle

Both are fantastic albums, but Doolittle is untouchable in my eyes!

Nice! I think there should be like a "this date in album history" feature! It's super corny, but it could be cool. Like a second album of the day every few days!
