Pixies — Most Surprising Favorite Artist

[Black Francis] Paolo Conte. That's mine. [Joey Santiago] The '60s Bee Gees. [Black Francis] Oh yeah. Very dark. Dark recordings. Trafalgar. [Joey Santiago] So good. [David Lovering] I don't know, tough one. Steely Dan, but I mean c'mon. [Black Francis] Oh yeah, we all love the Steely Dan. Everybody in the Pixies loves Steely Dan actually. They get a bad rap sometimes. These hipsters, they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. [Joey Santiago] It's the history of recording that they don't understand. It just shifted right at 'em. It just pa-boom. In a good way. A very good way. They were meticulous. You could hear screwdrivers just turning around.
