Anyone else going to see the Pixies this year?

The first album is the most Pixies-like ( duh ).  Teenager of the Year is his best album.  If you don't like one song, just wait two minutes and there will be another one.  Great guitar playing too.  The Cult of Ray is worth it if you can get a very cheap used copy.

 The first Frank Black and the Catholics album has a lot of good stuff on it too.  After that, I lost interest.

I wanted to check it out, and Amazon has Teenager of the Year as "most popular" so I added that to my wishlist on a whim but this is the first real info I have on it.

The only one I have is "Dog In The Sand," which I think is pretty neat.

Oh, that's a wonderful one.  Llano Del Rio.  Bullet.  Blast Off.  And the monster, The St. Francis Dam Disaster.  If there's another rock and roll song which anthropomorphizes as body of water trapped behind a dam, I'll eat my hat.

I've got a signed picture of Frank Black.  I got it as a Valentines day gift from a previous girlfriend.  Only good thing that ever came outta that relationship.
Oh, and his self titled album rocks pretty well.

Dear god yes.  "Bullet" is just a really great rock song, and since I'm a Huxley fan, I find "Llano del Rio" inordinately charming.

I am shocked (SHOCKED!) that nobody is downloading those tracks.  My bandwidth usage has not budged.

eMusic utterly blows away every other pay music service on the internet in the universe.

I looked at the detailed stats, and it looks like they've each been dowloaded a couple of times.  I managed to forget that most of the people coming to this thread are probably already Pixies fans. :dunce:

Maybe I oughta put up a few Frank Black tracks.

Actually I just found out that eMusic has several Frank Black albums so I used up my 40 downloads on that.

I've screwed myself though. I've been a member since 1999 and have actually DL'd a criminally low number of tracks.

Oh man, we almost never downloaded anything when it was unlimited, but now that we get only a specific number of tracks, we never fail to use every single one.

I'm now beating myself up because I keep seeing CD's I bought in a store for no reason. Like both New Pornographers albums.
