PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE: Due to the demands of her employer / program, the future Mrs. Throckmorton -- sorry, "Philomena" -- and I have been made to wait an extra day to implement the traditional turkey 'n trimmins this year. Just as well, since contemplating the delay and its sentimental significance sent me stumbling across the object of my most profound recent pop-culture gratitude.

Of course, it's the Pixies.

They played the Across The Narrows festival this year on a bill with Gang of Four and Built to Spill and I was privileged to see them perform live for the very first time. I only had to wait 15 years and I am, nonetheless, truly thankful.
