Hey, don't apologize for talking about music on a music forum. Your story is a good one! I didn't even know the Pixies existed until 1990 or so. I had just flunked out of college and been dumped by my girlfriend so I decided to move to SLC Utah with an old friend of mine. He had a room mate who was obsessed with music. This guy worked at a record store and turned me onto to Pixies, Camper Van Beethoven, mc5, Television, and about a million other bands I had been missing out on. I tagged along with him to the infamous Raunch Records record store under the overpass, and went to the even more infamous Speedway Cafe for live punk shows. We spent a lot of time smoking grass, playing chess, and listening to music. Looking back on it, that was a good year, and that dude changed my life musically. We're still in touch. It wasn't until a couple years later that I really delved into the Pixies, and fell in love with them.
