Where is My Mind?

If you haven't heard this wacky, groovy, addictive song then allow me to bring it to you. It's by The Pixies and it's called "Where is My Mind?". Right away it starts off wierd with someone humming and someone else saying "Stop". Then the groove comes in starting with an acoustic guitar and then the drums, lead guitar, and funky bassline all join in. And behind it all is that humming that someone told someone to stop doing in the beginning. Wierd, right? Or is it just me?

Well wierd or not this song rocks even if it doesn't blaze and if it's not as tight as "lazy eye" by Silversun. But in fact it's the sloppiness that adds to the charm of the song in my opinion. It sounds like a stoner anthem actually and it probably is somewhere to someone. From the title of the song and with lyrics like "With your feet in the air / and your head on the ground / try this trick and spin it, yeah / your head will collapse / but there's nothing in it / and you'll ask yourself / where is my mind?", I ask you how could this song NOT be a stoner anthem?

The band is originially from Boston but never really found any serious success here in the States like they did in England which is why most mistake them from being from there. The Pixies are homegrown and while their record sales have never broken any records, they've been far more successful touring over the years and "Mind" sounds like it would be incredible to hear live.
