Okay, I'm going out to get drunk in a bout 15 minutes so forgive me if this has already been posted on this board but i just read the black francis (is that what everyone's calling him now???) interview/overview in UNCUT (UK magazine). I have to say the intro is f************ing amazing (that's fuuuuuuuuuuucking):
"I didn't notice those songs for a long time, because i was already demonised and made a fool of - 'Oh yeah, he used to be cool, and look at him now! He's hardly selling any records, the fucking idiot!' So I felt, I'm not going to give people more fuel and go up there and sing 'Monkey Gone To Heaven' so they could go, 'Yeah, look at him, the only decent song is his old hit'. It's frustrating to think, 'Oh yeah, I was a genius five years ago, and now I'm an idiot'. That doesn't add up for me, neither one. It bothers me when people get personal and lampoon me because I'm overweight, or because I have male-pattern baldness. I'm 39 years old you dumb fuck. You think i'm going to get a fucking hair transplant? I don't really give a shit if i have a bald spot on my skull. Does that mean I'm not supposed to be in a rock band? You're not gonna tell Biggie Smalls that he's a fat fuck, are you, you lameass motherfucker? But you're gonna make fun of me because I'm a chunky guy? I just wanna get into a fist fight with these people. I feel like I'm back in junior high school, and people are making fun of the fat kid. I'm a middle age man, and I'm an artist, I make fucking goddamn art. I'm contributing, for better or worse, to higher culture. I tour around the fucking planet. There are people who pay me thousands of dollars, even at the lowest point of my career, to come and bring art to their town. And you guys are lampooning me because I don't look like some fucking heroin addict? Fuck you! No!"
It made me smile so much I had to put it up here. When I saw the Pixies in Manchester at the Move festival, some guy yelled 'Get off, you fat fuck! put some real music on.' Needless to say he was waiting to see the Stereophonics (headlining over the Pixies?). The Stereophonics that dullard, i'll-write-the-same-old-consistently-mopey-songs-even-though-i'm-fucking-loaded-and-inspire-no-bod-ee band. Some people.

Yeah, that's the one. When I get back home on Sunday I'll scan in the article for anyone who can't buy it. It's generally about the rise and fall and re-rise of the Pixies which everyone's probably heard a load of times, but that kind of coverage is quite parse over here. it's worth buying anyway, if only for the Neil Young interview.

THE PIXIES
In many ways they were the band of 2004 – when legendary grunge forebears The Pixies re-emerged this year, there were scenes of almost religious frenzy. Despite the commotion, they’ve barely spoken to the press. Until now. Here, Frank Black and Joey Santiago talk us through their incredible story
There is also a competition for Pixies tickets for the final New York show. www.uncut.net/comps/145" target="_blank">http://www.uncut.net/comps/145
quote:
WIN A VIP TRIP TO SEE THE PIXIES IN NEW YORK
It was one of the most acrimonious splits in recent rock history, and you would not at the time have put money on them ever reforming.
But 2004 has been a triumph for the reunited Pixies. Back together again for the first time in the best part of a decade, they have cut an all-conquering swathe across Europe and north America, playing to ecstatic audiences and defying every sceptical expectation by living up to their legend, when many thought they would merely diminish it.
A year of great shows ends next month, when the band play New York – and YOU could be there to see them sign off their world tour in style.
Uncut can offer one lucky reader the chance to win a VIP trip to New York to see The Pixies in a package that includes return flights for two, accommodation in a five star New York Hotel and a pair of tickets for The Pixies concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom. The winner will fly out from London to new York on Friday December 10, see The Pixies on Saturday December 11, returning to London on Sunday December 12.
What do you have to do to win this fantastic prize?
Simple. Click here and answer the question.
Closing date is Monday November 29, 2004. The first correct entry, drawn at random, will win the competition. The editor’s decision is final.
