Pixies Reunion!
Well dear me. I'm sure I'm not the only one here that is flat out giddy with the idea of a full-blown Pixies reunion. Apparently Frank Black actually worries that no one would show up to their concerts. He has obviously gone quite mad.
There are only two bands that I would ever want to reunite, one being the Pixies, the other being Pussy Galore-but I doubt that'll ever happen. Regardless, rabid Pixies fans can read the story at Pitchfork (also a great website for album reviews).

Now hopefully they'll tour and come to Texas...

Home?...no. Nice little trip to the cottage I once frolicked as a kid?...absolutely.
Even though I *lived through* The Pixies, I expect most concert-goers will be far younger than myself.
Grecian Formula to the rescue!!!

No kidding. I just got back from the pub agout an hour ago...and what did I play you ask? Pixies & Ween (and 1 Johnny Cash). True Genius? all.
The Pixies hold a bigger place in my psyche than most *modern* bands combined.
[edit: gr: I stole your *Blob* comment as a sig....ok?
Aside: I'd heard Albini didn't really like the Pixies that much. Apparently he referred to Surfeer Rosa (my favorite of their records and one of the best things he's produced after Slint) as bland college rock.
Still, he's never been much of a one for popularity contests...
Pitchfork has an update! And it allows me to say the following; *CONFIRMED*
Pixies go on tour starting in April 2004, new album to follow!!!
Long live ROCK!

Anyone remember the 4AD label?
Lush
Cocteau Twins
and the awesome label collaborations where they released semi-obscure cover tunes... damn the names of those is escaping me... i'll remember them eventually have the box set.
GOT IT!
This Mortal Coil... the box set is awesome... has the ones the label recorded and then has a bonus cd with the originals... great packaging too.
