Huh indeed. I can't think of much common ground between those two bands' 
sound.

Pixies are uncontroversial. It's a safe comparison. If a publicist 
described a band as *The Shaggs, with a pinch of Skrewdriver* it might 
turn off some listeners.

Saying a band is like the Pixies is like those personal ads where 
someone likes movies and eating out. Hey! I like those things! Maybe 
we'll get along!
