Yeah that's the cover I got on day of release. It's card. But I prefer the yellow so Yellow all the way for me.

You know it was a pun about the great orange/yellow debate of 2004/2005/2006?

Just because they are able to distinguish good songs from bad, Jop, doesn't mean their eyes are capable of the same feats. :)

I may be wrong so feel free (anyone) to correct me if I am but I'm sure I heard that this was the first time he played a Pixies song live since he became 'Frank Black'.

Can't thank you enough for this. I listened to the gig over the last few days and it's great. It was a nice surprise to hear Wave of Mutilation - I was under the impression he didn't play any Pixies songs live until the early 2000s with the Catholics backing him. |

Yeah, probably Ramona is the (second) best. Honestly many of the songs are classics, so it's hard to choose.
I haven't heard this album in a loooooooong time, but have recently been listening to Teenager quite a bit. |

So many songs I love. Solid all the way through, regardless of whether you skip any of them. 10%er and Tsar never waiver in my admiration and have always ranked highest, everything else is a close second that has at one time been in the top two.

i love Czar: especially the line: "OIL! The national turmoil...." actually i remember listening to this and ten percenter and thinking "well it ain't the pixies but i think there might be something exciting in the future..." who woulda thunk at that time something as epic as TOTY was on the horizon and then the catholics......sometimes i'm just blown away.

If that's an accurate figure, at twenty shows they're already getting a good profit. Since they primarily set up their own gear, did the bookings, etc. they had presumably low overhead. Gas, food, lodging, laundry, vehicle maintenance, etc. I guess it depends on how they divvied up the money at the end of a tour. Having zero experience with how a tour operates, it looks like an intense way to make a good amount of money. From what I've read, it seems like the travel itself and the blur of hotel rooms is what can wear a band down. It's all moot now since the Catholics are gone, though.
It took me a while to get into Surf Epic, I was disappointed the first time I heard it but I've come to really enjoy it. |

I'm sure Pixies are a pretty penny but I remember seeing some industry sheet back in Catholics days (might not have been real) that had them as being 5 thousand dollars. how awesome would it be to have the Catholics play your house party / wedding what have you?

I remember when some people on here were trying to organize a private, forum members only FB&the C's show. I think this woman went to the trouble of drawing up some kind of contract (or maybe it was her husband) or mission plan regarding it.
Too bad the Pixies don't do solo covers, Catholics, Breeders, etc. |

did I mention I was at the one in 91 though?
no idea who recorded it. I have a feeling it might have been someone with his crew, or mccabes crew. sounds pretty good to be hand held ghetto style

holy shit. my brain is fried. you are right. and seriously there should be a party
i remember someone a while back complaining about Yellow having inferior cd mastering. which i thought was bullshit. but i have to say when i listen back to back agains another current day cd you really do notice the difference. not that it takes away from the enjoyment, but it would be awesome if they re-mastered this
as an aside, i was trying to find my olde McCabes Guitar Shop bootleg to upload Don't Ya Rile Em. would anyone be so kind as to do such a favor for such a person as me? for that matter, anyone wanna upload some old school McCabes? stuart's dimeadozen link is donezo
