yes very difficult. i have compiled 1 fb mix + another 4 fb/pixie combos.
here's my fb mix pre honeycomb.
1. village of the sun
2. the man who was too loud
3.humbolt county massacre (version from all my ghosts ep)
4. callistan
5. st.francis dam disaster
6.the swimmer
7. dog in the sand
8. robert onion
9. i gotta move
10. jane the queen of love
11. his kingly cave
12. california bound
13. 21 reasons

15. i could stay here forever
16. ten percenter
17. two spaces
18. what ever happened to pong?
19. headache
20. los angeles
21. so.bay
as an aside if frank were to ever release a best of for his solo and catholic material i think now would be a pretty good time. with all the media attention and pixies tour i'm sure more straight up pixies fans are thinking about checking out some frank material but there's so much to choose from.
