You know, there is actually some truth to this one. A lot of similarities, but then again, the Velvets influnced more musicians than any band ever.

Charles, that was very rude. Very rude and somebody needs to spend a little time in the "Timeout Box."

I downloaded a cool piece of French software called Photofiltre, it's freeware, and not a trial version. It's very similiar to Photoshop, so I'm pretty psyched-only it's not as user friendly in some ways. Otherwise I'd be making more believable fake-ups! Although they might be less funny if they did'nt look so bad!;) |

How do you do that? Is it just Print Shop or what?

I think saying Pixies ripped off the Velvets is silly - they were surely influenced by them, as many other bands were, but to say they ripped them off is obviously not true. I say obviously because all you have to do is listen to the albums to hear the difference.
On the other hand, I agree with Mad Lucas that FB's voice sometimes has a Lou Reedish quality to it. The most obvious example for me is Fields Of Marigold. Apart from the chorus, it could just as well be a Lou Reed song, IMO.

Frank's vocals at times (not THAT often) have a Lou Reedish cocky edge to them. I have no proof it's just a feeling.

There's loads of bands that are influences on the Pixies, the same could be said of every band. "No man is an island." You show me a band in the popular music sphere completely uninfluenced by any other artists, I'll show you my pet flying pig.

so are the I _____ bossanova 
but VU is a great band and I would venture to guess was somewhat of an influence. |
