Pixies Reunion?

[Ghost of Fraiser]

I always liked their work, beats the living shit out of Nirvana. Anyone else hear about a reunion someone told me about reading about it yesterday.

I can tell that 99% of this topic will be about how much each individual hates the band :(

God that's old news

This also brought up the fact that i always learn of things last, it was a month before I learned Layne died, I was still waiting for a Alice In Chains reunion.

i don't think anyone on these boards hates the pixies. i could be wrong, but then they'd be wrong and nobody is going to admit that.

hate is such a strong word :( I just have never enjoyed one of their songs that I've heard :(

I don't hate the Pixies, I've just never bothered really buying any of their shit. The few songs of theirs that I heard just didn't interest me that much, but I'm always opening to checking out one of their albums. I think Proto has a shitload of their stuff if I'm not mistaken... maybe I'll listen to one of his sometime.

I have 9 Pixies cds, but if you count my Frank Black and Breeders stuff into that it becomes 23. Frank Black is probably my favorite songwriter/performer ever, tied with Tom Waits.

I would LOVE to see the Pixies get back together and it's been rumored for a while, but at the same time I would hate to see the Catholics break up. I'd be happiest if the Pixies did a tour and recorded a new album (which would NOT suck based on Frank Black's recent work), but then Frank Black kept working with the Catholics as well on the side.

you're trying to kill the guy, aren't you? :(

The pixies are okay in that they were one of the first postmodern amalgamated rock bands. But as it is with these kinds of bands, I like only half of their material.

The pixies were always one of my favorite bands.
Frank Black and the catholics are good too.

I remember looking this up, they should be a tour next year, and if all goes well, there will be a new album.

Good times
