Come On Pilgrim, 1987
Written by Black Francis
Who's Lou?
Amid a primitive beat and feedback (until the loud part two minutes in) Black Francis yelps a crazed dialogue between a man and a woman in a bar. It's not much of a meet-cute. "I said, 'I want to be a singer like Lou Reed' / 'I like Lou Reed,' she said, sticking her tongue in my ear." It's a wild, lurching blast of alt-rock with demented pickup lines, jagged riffs, and basement-show energy. It’s brash, messy, and weirdly charismatic.
