Pixies - "I've Been Waiting For You"
Pixies - "I've Been Waiting For You": "For reasons that are hard to articulate, this song has always struck me as a transcendent Kim Deal song. And by which I mean that I picture her kind of levitating down a supermarket aisle while singing this song - or, really, any other kind of chaotic environment that she seems to move through obliviously - because she is so focused on the message of the song's chorus: 'I've been waiting for you / and you've been coming for me / for such a long time now.' It's as if she has precognition of a meeting and that, in her certainty, nothing else matters or even registers. Or maybe I just love Kim Deal so much that I fancy her to be almost supernatural in her awesomeness, which at times seems very possible, that I'm giving her waaay to much credit in how I envision this song."

Hey Dave,
I was checking out your blog on the Pixies and totally agree, "I've been wating for you" is a truly great song!
My name is Matt Maher and I work for Ariel Publicity, a publicity firm that handles online publicity for various independent bands. Guards of Metropolis is one of the bands we represent and their drummer, Jason Carter, is currently on tour in Europe with Frank Black from the Pixies!
The Guards of Metropolis are actually two girls from Scandinavia’s Arctic Circle, and two guys from sunny California. With a style consisting of influences from the laid-back northern reaches of Norway and the frantic West Coast of America colliding they represent the best that both countries have to offer. A fistful of angst-driven rock and roll riffs tempered by the layered harmonies that Scandinavian groups are famous for lay the groundwork for this rock-pop manifesto.
I think you really might like these guys and I’d like to go ahead and set you up in our database to receive music by them and some of other bands. Basically we send Cyber Press Kits, as emails, that include an mp3 and a bio, and if bloggers like what they hear and want to write about the band then we'll get the artist to send a full cd for them to review. Futhermore, we send out a bi-weekly newsletter featuring new blogs of our bands and describing the bloggers. This goes out to our 5,000 person email list so it will surely increase some readership of your site. Of course this is all free!
Let me know if this would be of interest to you and I’ll set it up.
Thanks Dave,
Matt Maher
