Pixies - “Head On” (Jesus and Mary Chain cover; Live in Studio; 1991)

If memory serves, the legend goes that “Head On” was a song Pixies would play for rehearsals and warm-ups from the very early days.

Which, if true, makes the story behind the video even more fun:

By 1991, the Pixies refused to film music videos for their singles. After a long debate with their record company in the United States — Elektra Records — the band relented and agree to film a video, as long as the song was done completely live. Peter Lubin, the A&R representative of Elektra at the time, later explained the situation:

By completely live that means full band, vocals, cameras roll, video’s done by the end of two minutes and 13 seconds. One take, that’s it. So those became the ground rules, that was the only way you were going to get a Pixies video for ‘Head On’ or anything else.

"Entrepreneurs should leverage the trend of obscurity: Obscurity is good. Seriously. Everyone focuses a lot on trying to blow up overnight and using social media to drive as much attention as possible to whatever you’re doing, but I think one of the best assets you have when starting out is that no one knows who you are and no one cares what you’re doing. This lack of attention gives you the space and time to experiment—and to make mistakes before too many eyes are on you. The smartest entrepreneurs I’m meeting with these days are just building, getting feedback from early users, and then seeing what works and iterating from there. They’re focusing on improving their product and getting it right, and then trying to attract more attention after they’ve figured things out."
