Picking Up The Slack For MTV: Pixies - "Bagboy"


Yes, Kim Deal is no longer a member of the Pixies.

No, that's not Kim on "Bagboy," but the backing vocals bear a spooky resemblance to the beloved and lately errant bassist, despite the fact that it's a dude.

I'm not sure how to feel about this track. Like Dad's new girlfriend, she sounds nice, and she looks pretty, but she smokes and wears heels. I don't know if she's trying too hard or what, but it's not mom. Mom would take us to the quarry and sing about luxurious fabrics. Or she'd do a dead-eyed impression of someone playing rock and roll while we sat and wondered what we should do with our hands.

This new one lectures us about hygiene. She tries to tell us stories. Dad seems happy, anyway. I just don't know how to feel about that...about any of it.
