I didnt buy it I swear but on the cover of the latest it says something like 'New Pixies album' so i read the article in WH Smith
and aparently at the JD gig Frank gave an interview saying that they are really keen on doing an album. And aparently have booked rehersal/recording sessions for 2007 and hope that Kim will show up.
Either Frank had too much Jack or he's trying his English sarcasm again!!
Or the NME are trying to get back their readers who have taste!!

not too sure about this whole "legacy" thing ; bit egoistic and wanky, if you ask me. My prediction for the pixies album if they ever make it would be that it will be, er, very good.
And if they don't make, we still have FB, or BF, or Charles or whatever he's called today.
but i think "legacy" is a really bad reason for not making another one. |

I want a new Breeders album. I want a new Black Francis album. I want a new Martinis album. I want a new Frank Black & The Catholics album. And I really want a new Pixies album.

At first I would have welcomed a new Pixies album, but after all this "will they, won't they" it might be just too much of a let down when they actually do.
I'm happy with more Black Francis/Frank Black records to be honest. Rather that than the Pixies.

She wants to keep safe their legacy, you can't blame it.  I guess it's better this way. They won't scratch their cult status nor hurt their fans with a lame album. I'm not sayin' that a new record would be lame, but it is a possibility because their five LPs are in the highest standard...
... So it seems to be hard to challenge it with so many times passed and so many individuals experiences gained by each member. They won't sound like they used to, they won't stick to their usual songs structure. And maybe Kim Deal doesn't want to be evicted of the composition process this time. |

Frank Black on Pixies Album
Pixies front man Frank Black has just released a Best-Of compilation of his solo work.
Titled Frank Black 93-03 the two CD set will also include one new track, a preview from an
album full of new material he'll release in September.
When Kingsmill caught up with Frank on the phone this week he had to ask if we're even
gonna get any new music from the Pixies.
"No, I don't think that that Pixie's record's gonna happen. I mean I could be wrong I don't
know.... Just raffling the personalities all in to a recording studio is a problem you know.
[RK] Still that seems to be the issue? [FB] Oh yeah, always will be with certain bands you
know."

Do you have a rock band and toured with them more than a month ?
I did and I can tell you that less communication is good in that situation.
Its a situation like the movie "cube"
You have to be very very zen.
If the music doesnt stay the most important, you'll certainly have troubles.
Any rock musician that watches Loudquietloud would find them very cool and normal, as a dotor wouldnt be disgusted watching a chirugical operation. I dont know if it would be good to LOVE a member of your band. |

my first reaction:
YAY!!!!!x12000
second:
they toyed with the notion a bit more in the press last round out to start a tour, it seems
maybe just me being conspiracy theoristish but i wonder if maybe assuaging the fans that it isn't pure nostalgia bodes well come tour time?
cynical i know, just a thought i had
but i'll go back and settle on

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/139605/frank_black_wants_to_hear_the_roar.html
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."
http://www.nme.com/news/26487
When asked whether rumours of the Pixies recording a new album are true, guitarist Joey Santiago quipped to NME.COM, "They don't tell me anything -- except that we're touring Australia." |

Uh, your right! Sorry!
http://www.indieupdate.com/indie-reviews/the-pixies-are-back/
January 12, 2007
The Pixies are Back
The Pixies are back. That’s right, the indie band that can be
credited with influencing some of the greatest bands to come out of
the early 1990s (including Nirvana, Radiohead, and Weezer) and
with being personal faves of legends like U2 and David Bowie, got
back together in 2004 after a long break involving some serious
fighting.
The Pixies are actually in the process of recording a new album, to
add to their studio albums produced so far (Come On Pilgrim, Surfer Rosa, Doolittle,
Bossanova ,and Trompe Le Monde). Their latest release Wave of Mutilation demonstrated that
the band had lost little in its eleven year break, with the single “Broken Face” carrying Frank
Black’s quirky vocals and angsty lyrics over a mixture of punk/party music instrumentals.
Whether or not the Pixies can overcome the troubles that haunted them in the past remains to
be seen. Certainly, the band members are much more mature in appearance than eleven years
ago (weight gain and hair loss has given them a distinctly un-indie look). The pressures that led
to the implosion of the band might be behind them, though, as bassist Kim Deal has proven
through other projects (The Breeders) that she is as capable a vocalist and writer as Black.

Here Comes Your
Band: The Pixies To
Record New Album
Posted by Jennifer Van Evra on
Nov 08, 2006
It was one of the most
unceremonious breakups in
rock 'n' roll history: Early in
1993, Frank Black of The
Pixies told a BBC interviewer
that the legendary band was done. Thing was, he hadn't yet told his
bandmates. As the story goes, Black later phoned guitarist Joey
Santiago to break the news, then sent faxes to drummer Dave Lovering
and singer/guitarist Kim Deal.
It's a good thing for music fans that time heals all wounds, because Black
has confirmed that the Pixies are getting set to record their first studio
album in 15 years.
"Since we got back together we've played almost everywhere we can. I
know we like playing and everyone likes touring together, so to keep
doing that and not record anything is kind of like being a county fair band,"
Black told NME. "We don't want to do that, so the only thing we can do is
become a vital band again. So it's just a matter of doing it, I guess."
Of course, the million dollar question is, "Will Kim Deal be on the new
record?"
"We're rehearsing in January if we can persuade Kim to come out of her
house," Black said. "We offered to go to her, but we figured if we book the
rehearsals she'll show up."
This site has a list of anticipated albums, it has Pixies down for winter '07! I mean, what, they just guessed that?! It's ridiculously specific!:

Pixies, Dinosaur Jr recording new albums: 2007 officially
renamed 1988
Oh, Mission of Burma, what have you done?
In a few short years, the hallowed history of ancient Boston indie-rock has gone
from "you hadda be there" to "you've gotta be kidding me." Sure, it seemed like a
great idea at the time: we got to live out some fantasies by seeing Burma at Lili's,
the Pixies at the Paradise, the Lou Barlow Dinosaur at Avalon. Hey, aging hardcore
junkies get theirs all the time -- Gang Green reunites whenever the hell they can get
a VFW hall to book 'em -- so what's wrong with a few thousand proto-grunge fans
forking over a few quid in exchange for the fantasy of not having moved to Boston
been born a little too late?
When we get past this grisly mess, historians will likely observe that the Boston alt-
rock revival officially jumped the shark when Evan Dando was allowed to put out a
solo record credited to the Lemonheads, the single of which is a 20-year-old song
that wasn't good enough for the Lemonheads the last time around.
Thanks to Burma, who made old people smile by miraculously picking up where
they left off, now everyone thinks they can just get back together and make new
albums and they'll be good. Or at least not embarassing. The original Dino trio --
Mascis, Murph, Barlow -- have spent the past month "at Bisquiteen, the recording
space at J's house in Amherst, Massachusetts. The album, to be released on a
label yet to be determined, will be produced by J Mascis, engineered by John
Agnello and Justin Pizzoferrato, and mixed by John Agnello." In case you don't have
the re-issues in front of you, this'll be the first album by that lineup since Bug. Last
week NME finally got Frank Black to admit the Pixies are rehearsing in January for
their first disc since Trompe Le Monde. That is, "if we can persuade Kim (Deal,
bassist) to come out of her house," Black is quoted in NME. "We offered to go to her
but we figured if we book the rehearsals she'll show up." (Black also bitch-slapped
the Pixies doc onOFFon -- sorry, loudQUIETloud -- for making "it [look] like this
whole tour careered into this drunken stupor with David. It really wasn't like that at
all - he was really solid for, like, 90% of it.")
Which, OK, fine: all those guys need is a couple of Pitchfork 8.5's and they can send
their kids to college. But you know what this means, right?
It means there's probably going to be a Mighty Mighty Bosstones reunion. And then
how will you feel about yourself?
p.s., all that said, OTD would pay gazillions to see a reunion of the Tanya
Donelly/Kim Deal Breeders. Pretty pretty please.

The Pixies make me a liar by making a new album, Bloc Party wants to spend a
weekend in the city wth Aaliyah, Kurt Cobain is the richest corpse in the world,
and tons of Courtney Love related jokes. Because on Halloween what could be
scarier than Courtney Love? Yeah, that's right, nothing.
Opening banter? We don't need no stinkin' opening banter!!
Headlines!
On One Hand This Completely Contradicts Something I Reported Earlier. On The
Other Hand YAY!
Frank Black has come out and announced that legendary indie band The Pixies
will indeed be making a new album. The last new material the band put out was
the Kim Deal written single "Bam Thwok" which didn't fare so well with critics. Regardless, the band is hoping to start working on the album
with Deal sometime next year.
Of course this completely goes against what I reported in earlier columns but in this case I'm ok with this. I had a sneaking suspicion they
would write new stuff. Or if not a sneaking suspicion then a faint hope. Now it's time to see if they have any goodness left in them or if
they've gone the way of other reunited bands and become shells of their former selves.
Here's what Frank Black had to say about the new album:"Since we got back together we've played almost everywhere we can…I know we
like playing and everyone likes touring together, so to keep doing that and not record anything is kind of like being a county fair band. We
don't want to do that, so the only thing we can do is become a vital band again. So it's just a matter of doing it, I guess." True enough.
On Kim Deal's involvement:"We're rehearsing in January, if we can persuade Kim to come out of her house. We offered to go to her but we
figured if we book the rehearsals she'll show up." And so one of the best bands ever prepare to set out to create yet another work of genius.
Or to tarnish their legacy with a mediocre album, one or the other. Fingers crossed people. |

Frank Black said that in an interview, on the radio, heard him say that himself. Initially, Frank made a joke about jamming together, and the resulted in rumours. That's what made Frank think about a real reunion.

Here's comes my man
This has been a whiplash month for
Pixies fans. This week we heard
from NME that in January the Pixies
will be going into a studio to work
on a new album. Frank Black said
so.
"We're rehearsing in
January, if we can persuade
Kim (Deal, bassist) to come
out of her house," he told
NME.COM. "We offered to go
to her but we figured if we
book the rehearsals she'll show up.
"Since we got back together we've played almost everywhere we can. I
know we like playing and everyone likes touring together, so to keep
doing that and not record anything is kind of like being a county fair
band. We don't want to do that, so the only thing we can do is become a
vital band again. So it's just a matter of doing it, I guess."
But last week's Onion AV Club featured an interview with Black in which he makes
it clear he's tired of being asked when the Pixies will make a new album -- so much so
that now he's just messing with us.
AVC: Are there any specific plans for future work with the Pixies?
FB: Not that specific, no. When we've got something to say to the world,
we will. I'm really happy that people are interested. "So, what's up with
the Pixies record? So, what's up with the Pixies record?" One guy just
kept asking me and asking me in an interview, and I kept saying, "I just
got done telling you no, there's nothing to report." Finally, he brought it
up in some other way, and I was like, "Yeah, actually, June 15 of next
year, it's coming out." So sure enough, I started seeing publications:
"June 15, the new Pixies record's coming out!" I told him 10 times,
"We've got nothing on the books, and I've got nothing to say," and I
finally just was being obviously flippant with him. I'm not complaining,
that's just the way it is.
(NME link via WYEP's Music Blog.)
Frank Black is touring now to support "Fast Man Raider Man." They'll be at Mr. Small's
in Pittsburgh this Friday.

I understood when Frank Black said he would never go back to the
studio with Kim Deal because she was hard to work with. Touring with
her again wasn't bad because,"...you go out do your job and wouldn't
see each other again till the next gig." But it seems that the bling is
calling. The Pixies are going to record their first album in 15 years! I
have mixed feelings about this.

It's good to see other publications actually read the NME story and saw how irresponsible the headline was. It's fine to report rumors, but don't pretend they're facts. I come at this first as a Pixies/FB fan, but second as a journalist (I'm an editor at a large U.S. newspaper), and it's embarrassing to see this sort of thing, even if it's "just" music journalism.

Are the Pixies really making a new album next year?
posted by: Steve Hyden
October 24, 2006 - 1:15pm
Record store clerks from coast to coast are buzzing about the possibility of a new Pixies album. The story comes from the NME, which proclaims with absolute certainty that the celebrated indie rock band “will hit the studio in 2007.” The info supposedly comes from Frank Black, though the quotes in the article sound less definitive than the headline.
"I know we like playing and everyone likes touring together, so to keep doing that and not record anything is kind of like being a county fair band. We don't want to do that, so the only thing we can do is become a vital band again. So it's just a matter of doing it, I guess."
Since when does “it’s just a matter of doing it, I guess” mean “yes sir, we are definitely making a new album in 2007”? In an interview with The A.V. Club posted online this week, Black talked about flippantly confirming "new Pixies album" rumors to reporters who won't take "sorry, there's no news yet" for an answer. Did the NME fall for an annoyed reaction from Black, or do fans really have something to look forward to? We’ll see.

I heard elsewhere that it's actually FB himself who's potentially releasing a 'Best Of'. As the 'ultimate FB mix' thread shows, it's going to be a hard task! |
