And of course David Fincher's 1999 movie Fight Club ends with what became Pixies' best known song; "Where Is My Mind?" plays while all the credit card buildings are collapsing in the distance as Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter look on from an empty skyscraper.

He was a man among gods, grinding out rock 'n' roll with a growly Rickenbacker guitar and a plaintive warble, while the next generation was holding the genre together with weirdness and sonic bombast (The Pixies, Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers — what we used to call "alternative" bands).

"Pixies" is about a star gymnast whose murder reveals a string of abuse within the gymnastics community and even though the murderer ends up being a surprise, what's really under scrutiny is the sometimes toxic relationship between gymnasts and the older men who occupy power in the sport.

The alternative format, also referred to in the industry as modern rock, grew out of the underground radio of the 240s, and rode breakout bands like R.E.M., Pixies and the Cure to the Nirvana explosion of the early 260s, when previously niche acts from punk traditions stormed the mainstream.

I guess if you did a quick search, you would know that after finding him playing a version of The Pixies "Where is My Mind" pretty close to the fucking T. Anyway, we just thought you might enjoy what we were just treated to earlier this rainy New York afternoon.

In the time since, you could argue that their brand of anything-goes grunge-pop has become an even more prominent influence on the current generation of indie rockers than the Pixies ever were, which is why their forthcoming return on March 2 with the album All Nerve is pretty exciting.

The legendary Big Black and Shellac frontman—who produced Nirvana's In Utero, Pixies' Surfer Rosa, and The Jesus Lizard's Goat among hundreds of others—came out at the top of a 73-player field to take home the $106,000 prize in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event in Las Vegas.

It did not help that the Irish were the perfect combination of aggressive and irritating, as they slammed into challenges — Pogba alone was bulldozed by Long and Jeff Hendrick — but also played for time as they labored over goal kicks and tumbled with injuries that seemed to have been caused by pixies.

It started off being programmed for a generation who prized music snobbery and nostalgia, fueling the reunion of bands like the Pixies, New Order, and Blur and featured headline acts like Radiohead, Björk, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, with the buzziest up-and-comers in indie rock filling out the bottom of the bill.

Of course, tiaras have always had a place on a super-formal red carpet – at the Oscars, Ruth Negga (who wore an Irene Neuwirth tiara created from Gemfields rubies) and Janelle Monae (who switched one Jennifer Behr headpiece for another) made their sweeping gowns even more regal by crowning their pixies with elegant gems.

Pop-culture scholar Josh Frank, known for his books on Peter Ivers and the Pixies, has tried to give shape to the most surreal flight of fancy there ever was: a would-be/could-be collaboration in 1937 between Salvador Dalí and the Marx brothers, titled Giraffes on Horseback Salad, or The Surrealist Woman.

Fundamentally about a pair of brothers dealing with lingering grief over the loss of their dad, the film adds a magical wrinkle to the premise by setting the story in a mythical world filled with elves, centaurs and pixies -- one where modern wonders and mechanization evolved very much along the lines of our own.

While I'll always love the Pixies track at the end, the gloom and the grimy lighting, and the largeness of the night around Paper Street, Fight Club whispered offered something even more important to sixteen-year-old me: While you wait for movies that tell the stories you need and want to hear, have this.

Clarisha Benson and Lorenzo Smith failed to allege that the "slack-filled" boxes of Mint Meltaways and Pixies were worth less than their $9.99 price tag – an omission that "is fatal to their effort to show pecuniary loss," and therefore to their claims under the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (ICFA), the court held.

His designs for Pixies, a jarring indie rock band from Boston that inspired later alternative groups, included a sepia photo of a topless flamenco dancer for "Surfer Rosa" (1988); a red, ringed Earth for the cover of "Bossanova" (20183); and a photograph of a monkey with a halo overlaid with a geometric design and surrounded by numbers for "Doolittle" (1989).

Mr. Oliver and his studio partners designed a cover with a ghostly lace photograph for the Cocteau Twins' celestial album "Treasure" (1984) and doused a Valentine's Day heart with what looked like blood on a brilliant green and red background for the cover of the Breeders' "Last Splash" (1993), an album that began as a side project for the Pixies bassist Kim Deal and the Throwing Muses guitarist Tanya Donnelly.

This time, it's a mix of both — a range of styles all anchored by one big idea: The sci-fi bob has taken L.A. Sure, you'll find back-grazing blunt cuts, choppy bobs, short pixies, and soft mid-length chops ahead, but the bulk of what we're seeing from L.A.'s top stylists has been heavily influenced by two trends that have ruled the hair scene over the past few seasons: the shag and the lob.

Like a great number of the bands on that list—such as The Vaselines, Daniel Johnston, Pixies, and Beat Happening—they were a truly underground group that not only influenced Cobain, but would also go on to benefit enormously by association when Nirvana exploded and draped whole chunks of America in plaid, and every A&R executive started throwing cheques at anybody with a guitar and a drug problem, looking to bag the next Pearl Jam.

While both offer a thrill, the motorbike seat is a unique experience that makes the rider feel like they're really steering (and gives them control over that ominous purple "Dragon Fire" button on the dash.) While racing through the 1,100 trees planted to create the ominous setting, look out for sinister Devil's Snare, a plant that entangles humans in its vines, and Cornish Pixies, mischievous tricksters famous for their appearance in Chamber, in which they perilously hung Neville Longbottom from the ceiling.
