Don't anyone touch my stuff...
Much, much prefer Surfer Rosa to Doolittle - not only for the Albini 'production', but also for the fact that half the lyrics are totally and utterly bonkers.
I'd also humbly (!) suggest that Gigantic is nowhere close to being the best track on the album. Unless, of course, you have a 'thing' for Kim Deal. In which case you really should get out more.

"There were rumors, he was into field hockey players".....
It's a great party record, and just an overall good time. It's the Pixies at their most playful, fun, and effervescent. It's very much a summer record for me, for these reasons.
