Where is my mind

[Chicken Runner61]

I don't think this one has been done

Which do we prefer The Pixies original Fight Club one or this one on the Thompsons ad?

Pixies by a long way. The cover is awful. Ruined a great song imo.

 

[jd312]

Pixes. no doubt

I prefer Placebo's version myself but the piano is haunting on this

 

[Razzoo]

Is this some kind of sick joke? That Thompsons one is a pile of steaming turd.

IMHO this is one of those songs that no-one should ever copy, as I don't think it's possible to do it better than the original.

Bit late for that its been done loads of times

Yes, I know, and every single one that I've ever heard has been vastly inferior to the original. That's pretty much my point.

 

[Nibble]

Pixies. Some covers are okay but it's a Pixies song through and through

 

[TotallyFreaked]

Hate the TV cover. Placebo is the closest to a decent cover. I'm pretty surprised Pixies agreed to this but I guess everything has a price

 

[Solid at the back]

Pixies is incredible, reminds me of being 15 again

Great ending.

The thomson ad isn't the worst but it's so f***ing obvious. Slow it down and get a cute female to sing it zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Pixies are the dirtiest, fattest, filthiest band ever to walk these lands. And also one of the best. No comparison.

That said, it's not a bad version. At least you can hear the lyrics in that one, as opposed to Franks frantic mumbling.

This song sums up the Pixies for me:


Hear my bollocks roar.

It means 20 year old Pixies fans are now 40 year old advertising executives.

Funnily enough i remember seeing the Pixies at Crystal Palace bowl and in this song (Where is my mind) there is the lyric - Way out in the water, see it swimming - at which point several people dived in the lake which separated the band form the audience. Only one made it across - and then made it on stage and tried to give Francis a big hug. Francis was not keen due to the electrical equipment he was holding - but did applaud the swimming effort.

I was at that gig - but don't remember that incident!

 

[Notters]

They should all be arrested for daring to even try covering that song.

 

[Brighton TID]

Pixies were GENIUS. these cute cover versions are like driving an electric people carrier when a screaming Lambo is on offer. Bland.

 

[Eggmundo]

There's a cover on the "Sucker Punch" soundtrack by Emily Browning and Yoav. Superb.
Not sure if that's the same version posted here as can't get YT at work.

I was there too, in an advanced state of, ahem, euphoria. The best thing ever to happen at crystal palace!
