Music is my imaginary friend
To commemorate the jam session I had with my friend Meg’s boyfriend last night, and in honor of all the would-be punk rockers who can’t bring themselves to actually learn how to play the bass beyond the most rudimentary of riffs, listen to “U-Mass” by the Pixies. Two notes, though:
1) This, clearly, isn’t a real video for this song. But I think it’s just terrific anyway.
2) I’ve come across more than a few kids (and genuinely grown-up adults) that went to the University of Massachusetts, and I always ask the same thing: “You guys play that Pixies song like, all the time, right?” And the reaction is always the same: “What Pixies song?”
The one about your school! How are these people not blasting this at every hockey game? The Dropkick Murphys do an awesome cover of Boston College’s fight song, and you can’t go a day without hearing it on campus. Get your act together, Minutemen!
