Interview with Joey Santiago about the recording of SURFER ROSA - Page 2

that is exactly the line that makes me hate it
I find it to be the most insipid, stupid, meaningless, weak, pathetic couplet in all of rock music.
the WORST

But is it still better than SLOW JAMS?

VELOURIA is such a beautiful song, especially the slow tripped out version. Anyway, Surfa Rosa is my favorite for sure...it's their prime I believe...

(and weezer covered it and it wasnt half bad)

yeah I honestly think doolittle might be their worst. It's nice to hear there are other people who don't constantly put it on a pedestal. and trompe le monde is easily their best.

Jeremy · 01.17.2010, 08:54 PM

Really? Dissing Doolittle and calling it their worst?

How can anybody listen to it and not say it's their most consistent song by song? Surfer Rosa has a few "eh" songs (Tony's Theme, Oh My Golly), Bossanova is a just a drop in quality, and Trompe, while awesome, kinda loses steam by the end.

Compare Doolittle: Debaser, Tame, Wave of Mutilation, I Bleed, Here Comes Your Man. Some of the finest Pixies songs and it's only the first five songs. The only bad song on the record is Silver I think.

But to each their own....

Doolittle is the best.
Surfer Rosa is the less good.

Andrés · 01.19.2010, 03:19 PM

Bossanova and Come On Pilgrim are the best for me.

BBC sessions and The B-Side File bootleg are awesome too
