Where is My Mind?
I was first introduced to the Pixies in the late 80's/early 90's by my sister and I was instantly hooked by their sound. I mean, let's face it. These guys were part of what I feel was a golden era of Alternative music; they were, after all, playing right alongside the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Jane's Addiction, Sonic Youth, and more. Ok, yeah; me saying that is probably a bit of a generational thing, but there'll be plenty of time for discussion about which era is better in another story. Regardless, the Pixies were definitely on high rotation on my stereo; many hours were, (and still are) spent playing them full blast with me laying on the floor; arms crossed over my eyes in a meditative state.

I had been told that no one would care if I were dead, and the person who told me that, also let me know that they would've happily thrown me off my own balcony, but luckily for me, they stopped themselves from doing it..... well bless their cotton socks! That was good of them, now wasn't it? That was at the end of 2023.
