I think we did this / do this when new 2.0 albums come out, but if not hope we can do it now.
What is the best album track list you can make from the 2.0 albums alone?
I especially like to think of it that we have a time machine and we are going back to 2014 when news of the first new Pixies album in over 20 years is all over the place, and we want to blow the doors off all the skeptics with a 1.0 worthy album. What would your track list be?
I don't have an answer yet myself, though I have a few definites in mind.
Don't just randomly list the songs, put them in the order they would appear on the first Pixies album since TLM.
(Feel free to include B-sides and non-album 2.0 songs, but nothing pre-IC)
I'll hope to post my list sometime this week |

I think I would sneak Bats in the Afternoon Sky into the playlist, it seems to fit with the mood of the last 3 2.0 albums |

I would build that weird tracklist, with a decrescendo feel:
Painterman is Coming
Bagboy
What Goes Boom
Baal's Back
Indie Cindy
Oona
Bam Thwok
The Good Works of Cyrus
Caught in a Dream
Chapel Hill
Please Don't Go
O Little Cloud
Los Surfers Muertos
Get Simulated
Hypnotised
All The Saints
Mercy Me
Death Horizon
Plaster of Paris

yeah that's very close to the mark if you want maximum 1.0. fan pleasers for the big return album. my list above is closer to my personal favourites than what i expect fans would want to hear |

To be clear, that was more of an album that might please those looking for a reunion album that sounds a bit like Pixies 1.0. If I were to do a top 10, it would be more like this:
What Goes Boom
Magdalena
Greens and Blues
Blue Eyed Hexe
This Is My Fate
Silver Bullet
Daniel Boone
Death Horizon
Doggerel
Motoroller
Five More
Indie Cindy
Head Carrier
Arms of Mrs. Mark of Cain
Catfish Kate
Mercy Me

Caught in a Dream

Under the Marigold
How I Learned to Earn Rewards
I Just Can't Break It to You
Dregs of the Wine

Subject to change...

if the goal is a thematically cohesive album, i would pick a different set of songs. i've gone for 15 catchy songs in the doolittle style where the emphasis is on the quality of the individual tracks.
1. Nomatterday
2. Baal's Back
3. Motoroller
4. Donna (On Graveyard Hill)
5. Hypnotised
6. Haunted House
7. Ernest Evans
8. Talent
9. Catfish Kate
10. Johnny Good Man
11. Silver Bullet
12. Chicken
13. Thunder and Lightning
14. Daniel Boone
15. Plaster of Paris
That’s a nice looking album
I never thought of having POP as an album closer |

See Bill, this is why we need you to put together your own track list ;-)
(And I hear you that Bagboy could benefit from a little nip)
I was thinking of this track list for starters
Nomatterday
What Goes Boom
Bagboy
Cyrus
Women of War
Baal’s Back (which is my least favorite 2.0 song of all)
Um Chagga Lagga
Oyster Beds
That might have been enough of a wild tempo punch to make a different first impression a decade ago
I’m thinking of doing side A all up tempo and side B all slower numbers (so my wife and I can dance) |

What Goes Boom is a great opener too, that song has really grown on me
What Goes Boom
Nomatterday
Bagboy
That could be a great 1-2-3 punch to open the first 2.0 album
What would be next? |

Indeed

What Goes Boom is one of the best Pixies openers on any album they've ever done. Truly sounds like the next album starting up after Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde. |
| billgoodman |
Posted - 10/28/2024 : 08:32:05
Nomatterday is the one

I would think a really strong and surprising opener would be key. Something like Bagboy or Nomatterday maybe |
| billgoodman |
Posted - 10/26/2024 : 22:54:35
Not sure if that would work. I like a lot of songs from every album, but will they work in a single lp track list?
