Rewind time back to 1993. My best friend Alicia and I are in the full swing of our rebellious indie adolescence, wearing Doc Martens and striped stockings to school and ferociously consuming as much new music as our young brains could absorb without dripping from our ears. The two most oft-played CDs in our cars? The Pixies’ Surfer Rosa and Doolittle, of course.
It was helpful, of course, that we could scream such gems “He bought me a soda and tried to molest me in a parking lot” across the classroom at each other and earn confused stares from other people, but let’s face it: The Pixies kicked serious, insane amounts of ass. They still do, in fact, which is why Harmonix/MTV Games have smartly chosen Doolittle as the third full-length album to be sold as DLC for Rock Band, following such rock legends as The Cars and Judas Priest.
As usual, you can buy single songs ($1.99 each) or the entire album ($18.99). It will be available on June 24th for Xbox 360 owners and June 26th for PlayStation 3 owners. I’m excited, but I have to say some of these tracks are a huge challenge and might have to be downloaded just to see how hoarse I can scream myself. “Tame,” for instance? Oh man. Might have to put down a few gallons of liquid intoxicants before I’m ready to try that one.
