Pixies: Distance Equals Rate Times Time

Track of the week w/e 22 March 2015

There was a partial solar eclipse across the country on Friday and while it's very bad to look at the sun* (don't do it kids - or grown-ups) the repeated line 'looking into the sun' from this song sticks in the mind.

From 1991's Trompe Le Monde, the band's last album before their split, it isn't the typical Pixies 'loud, quiet, loud' sound that was to inspire Nirvana and subsequently the grunge movement. It's loud and uncompromising from start to finish. And hurrah for that.



*Note to self - next time** get some eclipse glasses. Don't mess about with the pinhole camera thing.
** 2026
