Maine was hard.
Massachusetts? Probably the easiest choice of the whole list. You see, I grew up in a town called Enfield, CT.... which is right on the Massachusetts border. I grew up going to concerts in Northampton and Springfield.... throughout the Pioneer Valley.
And in the valley full of pioneer, a band formed in the 1980s called the Pixies. And I heard them and enjoyed their music. This was the first song of theirs I heard - it was fuzzy and noisy and weird and deep.
I have been lucky enough to see the Pixies live. I saw them in 1991 in Springfield, MA, in a pretty large music hall.
This performance was from the same tour, and it's pretty much exactly as I remember it sounding.
Even though Kim Deal left to be a full-time Breeder, the Pixies are still around and still touring, and of course they still perform this song.
And it still sounds just as dark and noisy and weird and great as it always has.
