Hurts are coming out with a new album, xing fingers, hopefully very soon. Hurts – Better Than Love

Spring is a good season for listening to the Pixies - well really any time is a good time but just read this funny excerpt from the book “The Pixies’ Doolittle (33 1/3)” that speaks about their track "La La Love":
“It is the jokiest, cutest, dumbest song on the album, an upbeat goof with foxy-lady whistles and a Woody Woodypercker guitar riff that is all about love, love, love. ‘All I’m saying, pretty baby / La la love you, don’t mean maybe.’
“It’s bullshit, of course. ‘There is no love in here,’ Thompson told the NME. ‘Not a drop. I’ve never written a love song. It’s just like an abstract sort of joke… it’s just mimicking a really bad 1950s song, or maybe I should say 1980s. ‘First base, second base, third base, home run’ is a very Shakespearean crass joke in America, a crude joke for full copulation. I’m just being a minimalist as I can, but it conjures up lots of images — well, one image, I should say.’
“This joke — abstract, crass, crude — is a dig at the very idea of a love song. (…) The ‘la la’ bilge is sarcastically embraced as a kind of proof that pop music is by definition repetitive and banal. ‘If the song means something,’ he says, ‘then it’s just to be a wiseass.’
