Pixies have apologised for causing people – well, at least one person – to oversleep. It turns out that Black Francis saying the word “stop” at the start of the band’s song ‘Where Is My Mind?’ has been causing devices – or at least one device – to switch off any alarms.The issue was raised by a Reddit user earlier this week, who reported on a problem that has been occurring on the device they use for their alarm ever since a recent update to Google Assistant, which allowed users to say “stop” in order to turn off their alarms when they wake up.“For the past few months, I could not figure out why on random days, with seemingly no reason, sometimes my alarm would either not go off or turn itself off very quickly”, wrote the Reddit user.
“Maybe once every other week or so, I would wake up 30 minutes later on my backup alarm, with no indication as to why the first shut itself off. Well, this morning, I woke up about five minutes before my alarm went off and I have cracked the code”.“The alarm is set to play a Spotify playlist and one of the songs on that playlist is ‘Where Is My Mind?’ by the Pixies … The first line in the song is ‘Ooohhh STOP’, with the word ‘stop’ said very clearly.
My [device] has been hearing that ‘stop’ and turning the alarm off. Since it’s a playlist on shuffle, it only comes up every once in a while, so it’s not happening every morning”.Conducting some quick research, Android Police found that this phenomenon does not work with other songs that feature “stop” in their lyrics.
It’s seemingly down to the fact that the word in the Pixies song is spoken, rather than sung, and appears before the track properly starts, so has no musical backing. The device starting the alarm simply hears someone saying

Guy Lodge Film Critic Anyone seeking to describe “How to Have Sex” for potential American viewers is liable to land on the term “spring break” in the process: It is, after all, a story about hard-partying teenagers heading to a sunny coastal resort for several nights of boozy, horny, wholly unsupervised antics. Yet the teens here are British, the destination one of those grisly Mediterranean club hubs geared entirely toward British tourists, and the partying so distinctly British in its aims and etiquette that the translation hardly applies. The vacation presented here is as much like a quintessential spring break as Molly Manning Walker’s fresh, head-turning debut debut feature is like Harmony Korine’s “Spring Breakers” — superficially similar in its pile-driving social chaos and eye-searing fluorescent visuals, but with a very different, damaged heart beating underneath it all.

Pixies have issued an apology to fans after it was revealed that their song ‘Where Is My Mind’ was turning off their phone alarms.The iconic 1998 track was discovered to be wreaking havoc on some Google devices earlier this week, when one fan took to social media to explain how the track was inadvertently causing him to miss his morning alarms.As detailed by one Reddit user on Monday (May 1), the start of the song was interfering with an update to Google’s recent Assistant update, which allowed users to turn off their alarms by saying “stop”.However, the Assistant has been interpreting the start of ‘Where Is My Mind’ — the ‘Surfer Rosa’ track that opens with Black Francis abruptly stating “stop” — as a command from the user, and has been switching off users’ alarms in response.“For the past few months, I could not figure out why on random days, with seemingly no reason, sometimes my alarm would either not go off, or turn itself off very quickly,” wrote the Redditor. “Well this morning, I woke up about 5 minutes before my alarm went off, and I have cracked the code.”“The alarm is set to play a Spotify playlist, and one of the songs on that playlist is ‘Where is My Mind’ by the Pixies.
