MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 – “U-Mass”)

Released on this day in 1991…

Pixies dropped their fourth album…

Trompe le Monde.

And exactly one day later…

a band they helped inspire…

was about to change it all.

(Music Cut #2 – more “U-Mass”)

By this point…

Pixies had already become one of alternative rock’s most influential bands.

And one musician in particular…

was definitely listening.

(Music Cut #3 – “Smells Like Teen Spirit”)

Kurt Cobain.

He later admitted that when he wrote “Smells Like Teen Spirit”…

he was basically trying to write…

a Pixies song.

And tomorrow…

exactly one day after Trompe le Monde arrived…

Nirvana released Nevermind.

Two albums.

Two days.

And one amazing connection.

(Music Cut #4 – “U-Mass”)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“We’re not just kids to say the least
We got ideas to us that’s dear.” – Pixies “U-Mass”
