It saddens me to think there's an entire generation now that's growing up without understanding the joy of listening to an album as a whole, instead thinking that music is simply shuffling through an arbitrary collection of songs reduced to MP3 quality.

Bloody your hands on a cactus tree Wipe it on your dress and send it to me When I first heard that lyric I was 16 years old and I felt like I had found my people. It was so damn good. I don’t know what it is about it that I found so fascinating. Maybe that a man wanted a dress soaked in blood? I mean, I think about it now after watching a million serial killer documentaries and it could be interpreted as creepy, but I didn’t see it that way then. I guess I still don’t. It was more oddly romantic.

Looking at him today you'd never think Joey was from Manila, originally. I'm starting to admire his contributions to Pixies records more.

I have a 30 minute commute to work daily.. there are days I just play this on repeat. And by the time I get to work. I feel I could've played it a bit more. Timeless song. Thank you

Thank you gentlemen for providing the soundtrack to my life.

All the big 90s bands like nirvana and radiohead were all hugely influenced by pixies... And ofcourse the dynamics (soft and hard play during the verse and chorus respectively) was basicly invented by Pixies...

Yeah that song in the end of Fight Club was everything.

What a gracious compliment for Fight Club. Joey is a class act all the way.

Such a great and honest, candid, humble commentary from genius provider of music for the Pixies and all of us. Thank you Joey, I just saw you in Montreal days ago and we were impressed!

Joey seems like such a chill laidback guy

I listen to a lot of music, I am 45 now, I go to concerts, I play in bands, I consume music in different genres every day, and for the past 20 years I have been considering “Where is my mind” the best rock song ever. Powerful, direct, full of melody and rage (Pixies trademark), and very very effective. It engages you. Pixies are a legendary band. (And I miss Kim Deal).

Good Pixies song! For whatever reason never really got into the Pixies, except like the super played songs like This Monkey's Gone to Heaven or Here Comes Your Man. Did not even know this song, Where is my mind? but now listening to it realize perhaps I've heard it before. It reminds me of Modest Mouse, Float on.... though just somewhat.

15 years ago when i would wake up for highschool. Every morning i would put the ending sequence of fight club up on my computer and listen to the song while i was getting ready. That scene is awesome

"God damn it, Dave!" 2:16

It was dope at the end of "knock knock" with keanu reeves too. That movie was awesome

Joey: "This riff. Solo on "Hey". Bone Machine." I was expecting him to also say "Planet of Sound" as it just friggin' ROCKS. /Bone Machine was the first Pixies song I fell in love with.

In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

When I was a kid, I heard of the Pixies, but never sought out their music, then the ending of Fight Club came, and I had to know what that was.

Ok so Queen, The Beatles, The pixies, Led Zeppelin, you can @ on that oml

Creepy cool is my term for something creepy that feels good. It's not creepy in a nefarious way but there's a little darkness and sense of the unknown sometimes wrapped in irony.

He never mentions that he's talking about the end of the movie "Fight Club"... if you haven't seen it (or don't remember the ending) you'd have no clue what he was talking about. He's right, it was a brilliant song choice. They paid homage to Fight Club by using a cover of "Where Is My Mind" at end of Mr. Robot season 1.

I hear many elements of David Bowie in this song and a bit of Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies on the riffs. It's one of my favorite Pixies songs.

I get it now.

Shouldn't Joey have a writing credit on this song if he came up with the electric guitar riff? That's collaboration. If I wrote the basics of a song and then got a friend to embellish it - I would certainly give him/her a co-writing credit.

When I hear Pixies Where Is My Mind I can't help but think of Janis Joplin's Piece of My Heart. Come on, just listen to both songs, the similarities are obvious.
