I have been thinking lately about the Pixies getting back into the studio. Is there no new news regarding this. The excitement of this prospect is building to a fever pitch within me, yet I am not hearing anything about it.
Will this not be the biggest event of 2007, or the decade? |

If they did, they'd want to enlist the help of Chris Morris (I don't think the non-Brits here will get that).

Pixies should do an album of parodies of their old songs. |

Bam Thwok
I Can't Forget
Born in Chicago
Boom Chickaboom
That's 5 straight of, I know some of them are covers but they're fantastic! How "together" thry would all sound together is something else.

Pixmei, I'm not sure, but those last quotes Daisy Girl posted were taken from a recent interview. So i guess there hasn't been much of a development on that front? |

Thanks Daisy Girl. I read that post when it first cme out, back in October or something. I was hoping for something a wee bit more update. But thanks! Anybody else got anything? Cult of Frank? Broken Face?? Homers_Pet_Monkey??? Anybody........? |

Carl posted this a little while ago...
It has to be asked. Will we hear more the Pixies?
"We're supposed to play some gigs in Australia sometime in the next six months," Black said. "We don't have any firm plans for anything else. It'd be nice if we could get it together to make a record, but that has yet to be worked out. Little bit of hesitancy, I suppose, or a lot of hesitancy."
Why the hesitancy?
"Lots of reasons," he said. "Some people don't want to make a bad record. They don't want to mess with the gospel. I think that's part of it. Part of it's not real yet. It's got to be a vital kind of creative friendship going on when you're in a band. If it's just a reunion tour where you're getting together for old times' sake and playing the old songs, that's a different scenario than getting into a rehearsal space and trying to create something new. Different kind of headspace. Some people in the band don't want to force it. They want it to be friendly like, for all the right reasons."

Does anyone have any late-breaking news on if the Pixies actually went into a studio in January-February and if the "record" button was pushed on??? I cannot find anything regarding to this. I would imaging that this is a good sign. Because if nothing came out of these sessions, we would have heard by now! But if songs are being recorded, Frank would not want any info to leak out, wouldn't you think? I think the consensus of us Pixie-maniacs is that Frank likes to keep things shrouded in mystery when it comes to the Pixies, right? |

At some point he obviously changed his mind and has decided that he's legitimatley back in the Black Francis mindframe again.

There was some radio session where he introduced the song as "having kind of a Pixie-ish chord progression". So yeah.
The song grew on me as I heard it live a couple times, but honestly, if that's the best he can do, I can see what Kim meant by "too fakey"...I think she's right to be reticent. I'd far rather hear a loose, let-it-all-hang-out kind of thing from them over any self-conscious attempt to "write Pixie-ish songs".
Where did you hear Kim said 'Dead Man's Curve' sounded "too fakey"........did you read that? Where is there info. on Kim not liking FB's New Pixies material???
Are we sure she said that about that song, or was it just a comment she made about the potential pitfalls of trying to write a new Pixies record.
I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place
You're Probably right.....but where are people getting this info. in the form of quotes like "too fakey"??? Rumor Mill ??
I thought it was actually FB who said that. He had done some demos, but he thought he was trying too hard to be Black Francis again. He said it in an interview, and I think he mentioned that someone in the band thought the demos sounded forced (or fakey). He said that he wouldn't reveal who she was.
So I think it was FB relaying Kim's thoughts in an interview that it came from, but I don't think he ever actually quoted her by name, just paraphrased her reaction.

the new Black Francis (what's in a name) and the new Breeders.
I agree its a great song.....that's why I am perplexed on the comment that Kim said it sounded "too fakey"....? The guy who made that comment said he understands why Kim thought that. Were they listening to the same song??.....I think its a very passionate song. |

I don't care how long it takes, I think the new Pixies record should include every solo FB song ever recorded.
And Boom-Chick-a-Boom would be a nice bonus!

I think of those songs, especially of Bamthwok, as savvy buzz-generating promotional material for the reunion, not as the beginning of new material from the band.
I got some heaven in my head
Even if they were created explicitly for the purpose of generating buzz, that doesn't change the fact that they were in a studio, recording music again. Know what I mean? They're still legit NEW songs. No, the Pixies didn't have the weight of delivering an entire new album on their shoulders when they recorded them, and I think that shows. The recordings have a pretty loose, live vibe about them, and not that precision that made all their albums stand out. So no, I don't see those two songs heralding what's to come from the Pixies if they did another studio album. But I think they're still a sign that the band can go into a studio and have a good time.
And as far as predicting what songs could show up on a new album, I'd be surprised if we'd recognize any of the song titles. I'd love to hear Gyaneshwar done with the Pixies, as well as a number of the other "new" songs, but I have the feeling that the reason Frank decided to put Christmass out with those songs was because they most likely wouldn't wind up on a Pixies album. And as far as the other older tunes go, "Rock A My Soul," etc., I doubt we'd be getting any rerecordings like that. I think a new album would have to be something just that: all new. I just hope something new comes our way. Until then, I've got Christmass to listen to. I'm pretty happy with that.

Is it just me who can't imagine the Christmass songs as Pixies songs? After hearing them as FB only I just don't think they sound like Pixies songs at all. Not one bit.

I have a feeling they will record an album, regardless of Kim's doubt about ruining their legacy. I think she'll see not only that fans are dying for it, but that the monetary value of a new album is tremendous.
When said album is recorded I hope it includes the following tracks...
1. Rock A My Soul
2. Bam Thwok
3. In Heaven (The new slow version.)
4. Do What You Want Gyaneshwar
5. Radio Lizards
6. Dead Man's Curve
7. Don't Get Me Wrong
8. The Water
I think all of these Christmass songs would sound awesome once "Pixie-fide."
