Pixies: I've Been Tired

Track of the Week - 22 January 2017

My work family have been toiling tirelessly on putting a big event on soon. There have been many long days and more than a few late nights.

I've got involved a bit later in the process but this week has been very draining. A couple of days I've even dozed off straight after dinner. I'm sure it's not just my age. There are a few early mornings and long days coming up too. I'm sure it'll all be worth it.

I've Been Tired is from Pixies debut mini-LP Come On Pilgrim. Released in 1987 it's a magnificent piece of work that sets the template for their 'loud, quiet, loud' sound that went on to shape Nirvana and indeed the mainstream grunge movement. One of my all-time favourite records of all-time.

This track has adult themes and a rude word if that sort of thing upsets you. And a very hairy man on the cover which might upset you too.
