Dr. Daro (see Abysmal Designations) lists The Pixies as his alltime favorite band, and chief Pixie Frank Black (aka Black Francis) always had a penchant for making dischordant hooks work in a guitar-heavy musical environment. For some reason, this week’s WAV has remained my personal favorite of Black’s compositions (although The Pixies’ Debaser is a close second) and I’ve found myself listening to it quite a bit lately.
The video’s a kick, too. And if Smashmouth ever needs to replace their lead singer, Black’s a near deadringer visually. Seriously, he’s the doppelganger! Enjoy Abysmally…
