I like it.
It reminds me somewhat of several key 90's indie chick bands, for example Throwing Muses
Besides that, I also felt that there ought to now be a thread called "The Paz Song"
I like Paz |

Coastline calls this one the Fort Wayne-y one. Her voice reminds him of Violet. You can't win.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKS8gd5tMbg John (Rotten) Lydon was one of the first to mix a classic song of his past into a new song and it is brilliant.Joey also played a Pixies riff in one of the songs from The Martinis 2nd album.

Oh that is beautifully put.
When I first heard that speeded up take on Joey's WIMM riff and the ooohs kick in the hairs on my neck didn't stand up but they did when I realised the last lines of the song
I remember we were happy
That's all I think about now
If you have any doubt
I want to thank you anyhow
It's the line, If you have any doubt. It's something we've all felt. That feeling when so much water has passed under the bridge and you have regret but you don't know if you'll even be believed. And we all know some about Charles and Kim and what happened.
I'm in love with this song now

Wow, crazy. I had never heard of this.

Kim's goldtop LP sounds amazing. Joey used it during the early Pixies years and also in this video apparently. Kim still use it today, I remember I saw it on some recent Breeders video on Youtube.

It's not an issue, I don't think they've played Gigantic since Kim quit.
An instrumental Into The White would be good though, it's not a huge hit with the Kim Deal associatoin but definitely don't play Gigantic.
They'll probably never do either one anyway.

I agree with this. Backing vocals is fine, but I think to have Paz sing Gigantic would just feel...weird!
Just don't include Gigantic in the set, let it go. If they're determined to let Paz sing a song live then we have 'The Paz Song'.

I suppose I have a lot of the mixed feelings about WIMM that everyone else has, but last night when it came on during The Leftovers (good use of the song by the way) the people I was watching it with were really into it (not knowing Pixies it seemed) so after the show I showed them Subbacultcha and DGMW on YouTube and behold new fans were born.
So I suppose I should be more understanding of the WIMM crowd, and when I meet them hopefully point them on to more of Charles' stuff.
And actually sometimes AITAN sounds less like WIMM than I originally thought. |

Adding to the list of unlikely scenarios, they should do instrumental versions of Gigantic and Into The White... |

I usually go for a leak during WIMM if I suspect it's not the last song in the set. I also don't like the way he sings it now. |

Probably the best attitude to have and the one that will ensure you have the most fun at a show, Mr. Radiator. I've ruined some concerts in the past by having hopes to hear a super rare song from Pearl Jam and been disappointed when they didn't play it. Ah well, that was then, this is now.
Pretty ballsy of Dylan to drop that song; it'd be like Tom Petty dropping American Girl or Free Fallin'.

Massive generalizations ahead:
With the Catholics Frank could play whatever he wanted, they had no big hits. There were no expectations, I don't think.
People love Doolittle and to a lesser degree, Surfer and Pilgrim, were disappointed by the latter two from the original lineup and don't care about the new music.
I'm glad they still play Planet. As for the rest of the songs I love from those latter albums, I think the odds of them being played were higher without new music since they needed to perform something in addition to the Doolittle songs.
With a new album out, what I picture the tour to be is something like, Doolittle/Head-Carrier/Surfer and maybe a few oddballs (no pun intended).
The Pixies have "hit songs" and thus expectations exist.
If I were a casual Van Halen fan and went to a show, I'd be disappointed if I didn't hear Jump or Panama. So it goes for most bands at a certain level of success. So it goes with the Pixies. This schism exists with most bands, people who want the hits (usually the majority) and the hardcore fans who love the deep-cuts.
I could see them having fun with the Paz song, performing it right before Where is My Mind, so they glide from one to the next.
Maybe I'm completely wrong and they'll pull out Lovely Day and Theme From Narc, etc.
And at least they mix it up night to night...!
Now if only they'd Vamos a few other songs.
cheers

Bob Dylan abandoned Like a Rolling Stone some time ago, and his shows are all the better for it.

Haha yeah. I wouldn't be thrilled to hear it live but I would definitely enjoy seeing all the WIMM fans* aggrieved.
