Tonight the Pixies Saved My Life

I didn’t know how I was going to be when I went to see the Pixies tonight. Since I have so much going on, I wasn’t as anxious for someone who’s been waiting over 10 years to see this band. Once scooter0101001 and I got to the Wiltern, we sat down in our back back row seats. Yes. The back row of the balcony. It seemed like shitty seats, but oh well. Then they came on and played “In Heaven (Lady in Radiator Song)”, the slow version with Kim on vocals. I jumped out of my seat and started swaying. Then “Wave of Mutilation (Surfer UK Mix)”. Then who knows? They played (in no particular order and not complete):

• Where is My Mind?
• Hey
• Tame
• Dead
• Bone Machine
• I Bleed !!!!!!
• U-Mass
• Cactus
• I’m Amazed
• Caribou
• Isla de Encanta (They messed up, talked to the audience and started over again)
• Here Comes Your Man
• Gouge Away
• Nimrod’s Son
• Vamos
• Mr. Grieves
• Gigantic
• Broken Face
• Monkey Gone to Heaven
• Wave of Mutilation (Fast Version)
• Ed Is Dead

And for the encore: “Debaser” I started dancing around, spazzing out, doing everything I haven’t done at a concert since I was a teenager. So it was a good thing no one was behind me. And it didn’t matter that I was far away. The Pixies have a way of including everyone in the show. If they played at a huge arena, I would probably still enjoy the show. The only negative was the crowd. About 97% of the crowd did not dance around or anything. They just sat still (or stood still as was the case for the general admission crowd). This is the fucking PIXIES!!! Fucking MOVE!!! Nevertheless I finally got to see them, and I am still bouncy from the show. BEST. SHOW. EVER. Now off to Vegas. Feel better cephyn. Happy Birthday lotusblossom.
