Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Elton John (1973) After my parents divorced, my dad bought me 10 random records for Christmas one year. This was the one I connected with the most. Some of the songs are quite hard-hitting – my favourite, All the Girls Love Alice, has this killer guitar riff and a dark subject matter, about a teenage lesbian who gets murd...
Leon Russell, Leon Russell (1970) As a teenager in the late 70s I wasn't really interested in contemporary pop music or punk-rock, I was listening to stuff from 10 years earlier. This was a big record for me. Sometimes when I'm singing – it occurred to me last night in Istanbul – I realise there's a certain kind of vocalising I do that takes its cu...
Stand Up, Jethro Tull (1969) My mother took me to see Jethro Tull for my 14th birthday. We were living in the Los Angeles area and they were playing a couple of towns over. It was pretty much my first rock concert. I was heavily into Jethro Tull back then and I still am. Stand Upis the record that moves me the most. It's only their second album and...
This Year's Model, Elvis Costello and the Attractions (1978) Before I dropped out to start the Pixies, I was in university in Massachusetts. [Future Pixies guitarist] Joey Santiago and I rented a house in the second year. I took the dark windowless room because it had a stereo and I would just sit in the dark and listen to Iggy Pop and XTC records ...
Link Wray, Link Wray (1971) When the Pixies were going, Joey and I got really into surf music. We would buy a lot of different tapes at truck stops. At some point we discovered Link Wray – that was pretty important. He wasn't an influence on us so much as a confirmation of what we already were: rough and loud and minimalist. With Link Wray it was l...
Happy Soup, Baxter Dury (2011) I was reading about Ian Dury a few years ago. I'd heard his music before and I must confess, I wasn't that impressed. I found him to be a captivating figure, but the music was just too 1979 funky pub-rock. I didn't relate to it. But I wanted to read about him and then I discovered he had a son named Baxter who's a mus...
Everybody Digs Bill Evans, Bill Evans (1959) When I listen to jazz, it's usually the piano guys – Bill Evans and Thelonious Monk. I'll put this on in any context: on tour when I'm sleeping, at home when I'm cooking, after a gig. When Joey comes offstage, he wants to play something loud and continue to rock, whereas I need to decompress a little mor...
