Yeah, I heard them do a few new songs when they reunion toured and they were awful - even the old songs were just going through the motions.

I either didn't notice or just forgot that they had released a new album long long after that tour, though (the tour was what, 1998? and the album 2003) which I'm downloading now (courtesy of AllOfMP3.com, which is awesome).

Anyway, I'd love to see a new Pixies album.  I've been buying the Frank Black solo albums and with the exception of anything that says "And the Catholics" on it I've liked them all.  The Cult of Ray is kicking in my playlist RIGHT NOW.

The record itself was a widescreen Technicolor explosion of rock, which was meant to obscure the fact that they've completely forgotten how to write a memorable song.


Which is bizarre, because Perry Farrell's solo album Song Yet to be Sung, I think, is really good. And definitely shows that he didn't lose his writing talent completely.
I need to check the writing credits, but I would reckon it'd be mostly Navarro's fault, as his solo career was fuck*ng AWFUL! It was just pop drivel of the worst, most overproduced kind.

I guess I'm getting to this thread a little late, but I'd like to mention that I did just see the Pixies in concert.  The played at the Greek Theater outside my dorm room and they rocked so hard that it is difficult to comprehend, let alone describe.

I also saw them at Coachella, and they did a lot of rocking there too, albeit for a lesser period of time.  Plus, I was kind of waiting for Radiohead and standing on one of my best friends, so I enjoyed them less.

Yeah, I got sucked in by them having a few albums that I had a hard time finding even in record stores.

I decided to go with them when I saw that they now use CyberPlat for their CC processing which means that AllOfMP3 won't ever see my credit card number.

Plus, I found the joy that is pre-paid disposable credit cards, for one-time use glee.  No more identity theft for me.

You're right, and you're welcome.

The "Frank Black Francis" record is truly the limit.  Get it just to see what he looked like before he got all puffy.

I am seeing them during one of their 72 November Chicago shows. Looking forward to it.

Kim is a little puffy, and Frank has gotten really big (and I didn't know he was so short!), but I have to say Joey looked hot.

Today marks the one-month pre-anniversary of me seeing the Pixies.

*bows*

It's going to be a cold almost-December day when I line up outside all day in order to be right up front, though.

And that day came, and it wasn't so cold, but I didn't even have to line up to be three feet from Frank Black.   I did, however, have to fight like crazy to stay there.  I'm covered in grotesque bruises and my wallet got stolen, so I've got no cash, ID, or metro pass, but it was soooo worth it.

I saw them most recently at a really nice theatre on campus, reserved seating.  The first time, though, was pretty nuts.  I hate crowds, so I stayed in back.  Luckily there were big screens, so I could be in awe of Frank's fatness from a distance.  I love how the guitar rests on his ample gut.  Plus, he's the best rock vocalist ever.  And I like Kim too.
