    "comment": "Nation of Language is playing Seattle's Showbox on Thursday and Friday, October 9th and 10th. They're at SF's Fillmore on Thursday, October 13th.\n---\nIan Devaney said of this Pixies cover: When Aidan suggested “Gouge Away” I was immediately struck by how badly I wanted to rework it in our style, and the whole song mapped itself out in my head right away. I didn’t let myself listen to the original from then until it was fully recorded so I might forget certain details about it, leaving only my impression of it’s foundational elements – the way the quiet, unsettling verses give way to the savage choruses, the way the big transitional guitar line overwhelms you every time it happens. What we ended up with felt like an honest reimagining so we’re proud to present it to everyone and shed light on our favorite song by a band we really love.",
