So are my mate's band. Doesn't make them seminal, or even any good.
The Pixies' rise has always slightly baffled me. They came along at a time when far more interesting things were happening. You could always tell a Pixies fan at that time because, if they were blokes they looked like members of Buffalo Tom, and had girlfriends that looked like Kristin Hersh. Needless to say, if they were girls they looked like Kristin Hersh and had boyfriends that looked like members of Buffalo Tom. Weird but true.
