There are entirely too many great soundtracks I’d like to post for this month’s theme. So either I have to start posting with a much higher frequency, or we’re going to need to have this theme another time in the future. Since I can barely handle once a week, I guess it will have to be the latter. Anyhoo, on to this week’s post.
“Head On”
by the Pixies (originally by The Jesus and Mary Chain)
from the album Trompe Le Monde

Confession time: I got into the Pixies really late in the game. I was familiar with them from watching 120 Minutes but for some reason nothing really stuck with me at the time. I now consider them one of my all-time favorite bands, but I can’t cop to being there at the beginning like most of my other friends. Why did I take so long for me to catch on? I’m not sure, but when it did, it stuck. Hard.
