I think that last year the Pixies played really great their songs but I have some little comments about little variations they did
For example.
Caribou: I like how Joey extended the solo in the final performances but I have to admit IMHO that it's way better the normal solo and then the two guitars go very loud on those killer final riffs (check out BBC version)
Gouge Away: I think it's better that FB starts to sing ''Gouge away..'' inmediatly and not wait too long
Vamos: It would be better a faster intro, just like old days
In Heaven: I think everybody was surprised that Kim sang this song, which is cool because it showed a new performance but it would be amazing if FB could sing it
...and well that's it
so what do you think? would you like some variations too? or maybe I'm just a too anal fan and I just should shut my mouth
Any opinions?

I think they could do it. I know Rancid learned every song off of every album they'd recorded at one point (which was five) for their 2000 tour and played all-request sets, and their albums have more tracks on them than the Pixies. Many of the songs are simpler, but it's the same principle. It could be done, and it would rock.

Well... that actually is really cool. I never heard of that, but that's a really neat idea.
I don't thing this is going to change, either thankfully. But I saw a really glitzy concert the other night. I am glad that the Pixies stick with this is about he music and not the gliz and glam. It's one of the many reasons that make me feel proud to be a fan!

You're not alone! 
I just want more songs from Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde. I don't ask specific songs but I wouldn't mind if they play six songs from each... And maybe one or two b-sides from this time (Santo for instance). That would be great and kick some ass!
And for Planet Of Sound, they didn't play it a lot of time, it was U-MASS that they played almost every night (with Subbacultcha).
But we should not ask for too much, otherwise, Kim Deal will sing Bird Dream of the Olympus Mons!  |

hhhhmmmmm, the pixies have matured and devolped individually and come together . and you can hear the difference. fb stil sings the frank black way not the black francis way. crackity jones is a good example of this. he doesnt do the same scream "crack crack" anymore... but im not complaining, i think the songs sound a bit more solid..a bit less exciting but more solid if you understand my meaning..its like the deep voice is some sort of heavy suport :P
anyway, i dont think we should be telling the pixies what we would like..cos if they did what we asked then the element of surprise would be gone...and if they did that hey wouldnt be the pixies anymore, they be the "frank black forum reprasentatives"... that even sounds funny.
every band has to make their own desisions..that what gives them their individuality... if the the pixies were to start groping for praise and to please all the tv geeks everywhere then theyd turn into good charlotte!!!!! a terifying thought.. i dont tihnk i know another band and more comercialised..nightmare |

Bossanova is my favorite, and I certainly wouldn't mind hearing more songs from it. Trompe is pretty cool, too. Honestly, I've never been a really big fan of "Planet Of Sound," yet that was one of only two Trompe songs they played at the one Pixies show I attended.
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |

Heh i only took out 3 singles (monkey, debaser, pos), i did replace them with 2 other singles (alec eiffel, dig for fire)! guess where is your mind is a hit based on the fightclub movie now, so i probably shouldnt have taken that out in hindsight. |

That way genuine fans get to hear some different stuff and MTV casual fans still get to hear most of the hits, and the Pixies don't have to learn that many new songs to play.
I consider myself a "genuine" fan, but I've never seen the band play and would like to hear those tunes; "Planet of Sound" in particular. That's a pretty holier-than-thou attitude to take, man.

No doubt years of drinkingm drugs and smoking has stuffed Kim's voice up, and FB is prolly changing his singing to compensate for her.
It sounded like Frank was just belting it out the way it comes more naturally to him now that he's doing more "rootsy" music, instead of the Pixies vocal gymnastics. It sounded a lot smoother, and not bad, but not as good as the really wild way it is on "Doolittle."
On the other hand, "Gigantic" just sounded like shit.

They should do the Frank Black Francis version of "Planet Of Sound."

Maybe they could write some new material and promote it. That'd be sweet. The Pixies greatest hits reunion is so 2004. The term "Flogging a dead horse" comes to mind if they continue this greatest hits reunion in 2005. Give the fans the new album they want. Who gives a shit if its crap, fuck, we forgave the Beatles for those reunion singles in 1995, I'm sure we could forgive the Pixies if they serve up a steaming turd. |

I would like to see some new songs added to the rotation including levitate me and bam thwok.
I really love the Vamos solo and if they could continue to make it unique and suprising each time that would be cool.
EDF would be cool, too.
I would also like to see Frank, Kim and Joey atttached to harnasses and playing/singing along while swinging through the air like peter pan... ( j/k) |
