| Pixies – Another Toe in the Ocean Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Got to be about revivifying Los Pixies as record producers. The ocean into which Black Francis drove his car in Wave of Mutilation (fuck!) 25 years ago is the titular domain of the "elf I saw" and "Making merry with the fairies" - the onion patch I shudder to speculate on, but the land of green and cool black sand might refer to getting paid, and whatever dark shore he's moored at. Edward Thatch was better known as Blackbeard, the pirate of the Caribbean. Whatever. It's all good, Deal or no Deal... the absence of Simon Larbalestier's photography is frustrating on EP1 but it's a different industry now and they are, as often quoted, "just a bunch of guys." Puneta! |

I recall reading somewhere that the "I'll bossanova wit ya" line referred to the film Communion (possibly also the book by Whitley Streiber), and to a scene where Christopher Walken, in the role of Streiber, connects with some visiting aliens and dances with them to a bossanova beat (just before the 90 minute mark): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXjU7D-pEOE#t=88m Didn't notice the verses were Haikus. Cool :) |
