For you guys who are ok with first hearing the new songs live and dared to click the Youtube links of "Greens and Blues", "Classic Masher", "Blue Eyed Hexe", "Silver Snail" and "Magdalena 318" (did they play any new song besides these ones?), what do you think of them? Any comparisons you would make with the bands other material?
They're live sketches of what is to come in the future, so there's room for the final recordings to surprise, but the quality of the songwriting, I'm curious to read your opinions on this, are they pure Charles gold? Strong enough? Just ok? |

Blue Eyed Hexe is simple but I think it's the catchiest of these live tunes.
Magdalena and Silver Snail sound very mellow, almost sleepy to me. Hexe rocks out, plus Charles throws in cool words like Vivisection and Solar plexus. Want to hear a studio version already! |

I'll post them up later if people are interested. Big New Prinz included.
Yes, please! :-)

I went with the best sounding ones (recording quality wise).
Funny. I downloaded zip New Songs.zip and threw that into Add automatically to iTunes. I synced IPhone. Searched for Blue eyed Hexe. It was in Pixies New Songs.
1. Blue Eyed Hexe
3. Silver Snail
4. Greens and Blues
Magdalena was missing. It was put in EP1: Bonus Tracks... |

Wow! This is great. Not to be a stickler, but no love for "Big New Prinz"? I know it's a Fall cover, but still... |

No, it leaked well before it was released and some of us had it already

I guess Jeremy plays on all the demos. But I can be totally wrong.

I have a very bad feeling about Um Chagga Lagga. If it's anything like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYj5o4kQsXs I won't know what to think. Hope for the best prepare for the worst.

Wish I had friends like yours.
So Question: What are the 3 best songs we haven't heard yet? Personally, I've been curious about Rats Alive and Um Chagga Lagga just for the titles alone.
If you had to compare the all the songs to a previous Pixies album, which would it be? So far they seem very Bossanova (which I love).

that would be an awesome present for yarbles! considering all those awesome youtube links and concert reviews he gave us when the pixies 2.0 shows started.
as an aside my son is turning 5 in a couple of weeks. he is a big fan. his favorites are broken face, los angeles, and what goes boom.

I agree that Blue Eyed Hexe at Jools was absolutely amazing. I also enjoyed Magdalena 381 at AB Brussels, if you can, check the Youtube video, the sound quality is awesome, and everyone in the band did an excellent performance. All in all, I'm stoked about the new pixies tunes. I think EP 2 will be fabulous! |

I love that version. Does anybody have an mp3 or youtube clip of JUST that version of Big Prinz? Not the whole show in one long video or file but just THAT song from THAT show?

Has anyone noticed that during the breakdown section Joey invariably plays the guitar line to WIMM? At the itunes gig and... Every show?? |

A quick Google shows that 'Not Tomorrow' and 'Overdose Delusion' are both instrumentals tracks from the Silent Hill franchise. |

According to setlist.fm the Pixies played 2 more new songs their Oct. 9 show in Berlin: "Not Tomorrow" and "Overdose Delusion". These aren't on the BMI list and nobody's mentioned them though. Anyone know anything?

Yes I agreee it was a great performance. Best of the 4 songs played I thought. I am trying not to watch it too many times (3 so far) so when I hear the recorded version it's still with a fairly clean perspective. |
