Talk:Surfer Rosa/Archive 1

Cover star
I've read elsewhere that the cover star is not an Italian prostitute but a Spanish flamenco dancer. Can anyone else confirm / refute this?

 * I don't have any hard evidence, but judging by her poses and the location, I think it's a lot more likely than the seemingly baseless idea that she's an Italian prostitute. (Andrew123)


 * A quick Google search indicates that the cover may depict flamenco dancer.

<^>v!!This album is connected!!v<^>

 * All song titles serve as redirects to this album, have their own pages, or have been placed at the appropriate disambiguation pages.--Hraefen Talk 19:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

GA
A fine article, though two things.
 * Charts, what is the point of this section when the album didn't chart? and the single position is mentioned under 'Release' - "it spent one week on the UK Singles Chart at #93." Thus making the chart section redundant.


 * Same goes for credits, all the people are mentioned in the body, thus making this section also redundant. You should remove these sections because they are both redundant and presented in list and table format, not "well written" but if you disagree I'm open for discussion.

 * Yeah, I incorporate those from a previous version of the article, but they're probably redundant now. Removed them. CloudNine 11:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That was quick (again ;o!), nice work on Pixies related articles btw and goodluck with this at FAC, which you'll be doing soon i guess ;). M3tal H3ad 11:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Cobain's #2 favorite = what the hell?
In the article's Legacy section, it says that "Kurt Cobain of Nirvana placed Surfer Rosa #2 on a list of his of favorite albums", and the reference is a site that says "Kurt Vonnegut's favorite albums". Again: what the hell??:) Gocsa 13:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Removed the sentence in question; it wasn't a particularly reliable reference anyway. CloudNine 14:55, 9 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeh, I know; I just checked it a while ago, and then had to check over to this again, thinking that I may have misread something. Anyway, I'll remove this "Kurt Cobain of Nirvana..." and just paste it here, seeing as it's no longer valid to leave it in the article - the bit about him drawing inspiration from Surfer Rosa will probably stay though, unless that's also talking about Vonnegut - which I imagine to be rather unlikely. Who knows? :D
 * Kurt Cobain of Nirvana placed Surfer Rosa #2 on a list of his of favorite albums,
 * Beaten to the punch by CloudNine... cheers. Qwerty (talk) 14:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

In Pop Culture
Perhaps someone can add a "Pop Culture" section in the artilce. I know that the song "Where is My Mind?" was featured in the closing credits for the film Fight Club. --DavidD4scnrt (talk) 06:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It's totally unnecessary. WesleyDodds (talk) 06:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * What do the appearances of "Where Is My Mind?" have to do with Surfer Rosa? It's only of tangential relevance. CloudNine (talk) 10:56, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Article rewrite
I'm rewriting the article here (as I did for Doolittle (album)); I'll incorporate my changes soon. By the way, when was Surfer Rosa recorded exactly? CloudNine 18:19, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I hope something can be done about the production value of this album...just because it wasn't sugar coated and digitally reverbed with some electronic drums doesn't mean this album is "low-fidelity" if anything, this album is pure analogue genius. Michael Betancourt (talk) 20:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Only Single?
The article states that Gigantic was the only single, but wasn't Where Is My Mind also a single? Even today, I still hear it on the radio every once in a while. Deepfryer99 (talk) 12:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope, it was just an extremely popular album track. CloudNine (talk) 12:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

It was popular because it was in the final scene of one of the biggest cult films ever Fight Club. --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 23:46, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
