So good for you!!! Pixies or not, that's a great watching experience!! Everyone should see some Bunuel in a lifetime.

Concerning the Pixies... can't wait for my boot of the acoustic show!

I bought Trompe Le Monde today after falling in love with Debaser. It is sooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D ITS EDUCATIONAL!!!!!!!!... I also love besides Pearl Jam, Faith No More and Sonic youth...

What Pixies album do you recon I should get next?

doolittle or surfer rosa is where most people start. debaser is off of doolittle but i like surfer rosa just a bit more. they also have a greatest hits. but its not so special. if you can find the now out of print death to the pixies greatest hits get that. one disc is a live show and the other is the greatest hits disc.

letter to memphis is a great song.

I doubt I'd be able to find the death the the pixies greatest hits especially as I'm in Australia. I recon I'll get Doolittle next and then Surfer Rosa. I'm addicted to Trompe Le Monde at the moment! Awesome stuff!!!

Is there anyway to get that "Bam Thwok" song if your in a country thats not compatible with buying songs of itunes?

I saw the Pixies twice last year, once in April and once in September. Both shows were highly excellent.

has anyone watched the pixies sell out dvd? i bought it but its on the to do list after those ghost in the shell dvds. but im itching to watch it.

oh yeah!! I was JUST about to BUMP this thread asking that same question.

I got it for my b-day (thanks to VEDHEAD27 for giving it to me early )

oh I SO loved it!! I am not going to spoil it for everyone, but you will be satisfied w/how they did the opener Of course, the only disappointment is that they didn't interview the band:( they interviewed their tour manager and their long time camera man. They do offer some insight on how big it was for the band to be back and how well they all got along with each other. I wish there were more backstage footage though

Another thing, the Pixies "fool the world" already came out in the UK, but we won't see it here in the states until March 2006:( oh well. But from what I have heard, EVERYONE is praising this book. They interviewed everyone who was a part of the Pixies' history. The format of the writing is the way it was on the Spin article last year.

who knows?! I know for sure that the Breeders are doing 2 shows in England to celebrate 4ADs 25th Anniversary.

One wonders though...they haven't said much of recording a new album, even Frank said that Kim is hesitant of recording a new album b/c she fears it might ruin the legacy the band has. We'll see

Frank Black told Boston Globe reporter Mark Shanahan this morning that he does intend to have a new album and plans to get to work on writing, but neither confirmed nor denied that the process had already been started.

"Yeah [we're recording a new album], but I need to write some good songs. These Pixies have gotten a little uppity. They're like, ''What if it's not as good as the old records?"

frankblack.net

that is awesome news!! at least they all are taking a hiatus and doing their solo stuff. I know for sure, Kim is working w/the Breeders on the new album and FB is going to tour soon behind his next solo album.

It feels SO good that this band got back together.

Just last night, I watched their T&C 88 show from the DVD, and watched the Sell Out DVD, it shows that they are still a top of their game. Just looking at the band, they looked so happy together
