for ages i've been wanting to make a mix of the best pixies tracks... upon trying this i discovered that it's pretty much impossible... another mix i've been wanting to do is a compilation of as many short songs i can get on a cd... this is the result of both those ideas combined... as many pixies tracks as could fit on a cd... the 42 shortest pixies songs in order of length... (levitate me is the longest here and allison is the shortest)... i think the order even works well... i replaced some of the songs with their version from the bbc cd if it was shorter... the title is the original name of the band which funnily enough works in describing this mix...

Cool concept. I see only minimal overlap with my personal Pixies mix, though, suggesting that (IMHO) some of their better songs were also their longer ones. But the presence of "Allison," "Wave of Mutilation" and "Planet of Sound" confirm that you can have a truly unforgettable song in under two minutes. (Perhaps Wire's Pink Flag is the best evidence of this.)

anyone who doesn't worship the pixies has something unspeakably wrong with them. i'm seeing them at the coachella festival in california in may (i'm FREAKIN' OUT!!)...is anyone else here going???
