Song: The Thing
Artist: the Pixies
Album: The Complete "B" Sides
Also try: The Vaselines
Commentary: So I tend to post songs that get stuck in my head on this blog. Which is why this song makes it, but Surfer Rosa--which I listened to obsessively through most of high school (and now just regularly and alternating with Doolittle)--doesn't. "The Thing" comes off the remarkably solid Complete "B" Sides, but, I guess, it is the Pixies, so no surprise that they have awesome B-sides.
Choice lyrical cut: "I soon forgot myself and I forgot about the brake"
