So will the rumoured album recorded in 2012 now be released? Re-recorded? Re-bass lined? Toured?
The press release regarding Kim's departure shows the other three seem keen to press on, and reading between the lines I suspect she quit a while back (sometime post album sessions pre-Last Splash tour). I hope the other three churn out an album and a tour a year, it is Charles and Joey's bag at the end of the day. Gigantic was just one song. |

Yes, this is the conventional wisdom in the media. I don't know who decided to release Bagboy on a Friday or who is advising the band but as far as publicity goes, Friday was a bad idea. |

Maybe I misread it but I understood BLT's comment as a response to natenate101---as in, there's no need for nate to go on and on about you.
I respect not putting anyone down, not attacking etc.
But look; this is a post written by Arm Arm Arm interpreting a BLT responding to a natenate101.
It's really not worth taking too seriously, in my opinion.

As long as the Pixies have Charles, Joey and boy-girl harmonies, it'll all be ok. Kim needs to realize that she's always going to be asked about getting back together with them though...

imho:
Presumably, Charles made enuf money from the reunion to set him. So if theres no monetary reason to revamp the pixies then I say, move on. This obsession with "we want a new Pixies album" befuddles me. They WERE one of the greatest bands EVER. I'd much rather see Charles do his own solo great stuff w/ whomever ....edf, etc.
I believe a good analogy is "The Police". They, too, had only 5 {extraordinary) albums then disbanded under disharmony, never to record again. Then, like the P's, they reunited like 20 years later for a big world tour, playing all their old songs, ($$$). Between the break-up and the reunion, Sting did his great solo stuff and after the reunion, Sting continued with his solo career. Sting was to the Police what Charles is to the P's. Wrote all the songs, sang all the vocals, etc.
The P's (Police) is dead and the P's (Pixies) is dead. Move on, y'all. |

While I love Kim and think she's a great musician in her own right, I think she was more the spokeswoman/mascot for the Pixies. Bass wasn't even her instrument until she joined them. I think any good female bass player with a decent voice good stand in. They've done it before with Kim Shattuck (whose website says she has some "other irons in the fire" aside from a new Muffs album. Kim seems to be having a great time with the reunited classic-era Breeders and I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't try to continue on with them. I'd be willing to bet that Kim gave her blessing to them to continue on. The spilt seems very amicable. I'm betting the other 3 just said, "Look, we really like these songs and want to put them out." And Kim probably said, "I'm not feeling it so I'm going to leave but it's cool if you guys keep going." I think they did it this way so the band can say, "We didn't kick Kim out.

He's already fronted a reunited Nirvana. He's ready for the real deal now. |

I'd wanted to see them live for a whlie and finally caught them two nights in a row at Pearl Jam's 20th anniversary shows at Alpine Valley. A great time. Anyway, Queens play a different set every night and do some nice extended jams on some songs. The second night was better; opened with Millionaire. Played a lengthy version of Fun Machine. Eddie Vedder joined them on Little Sister.
Second night was better for Pearl Jam as well!

I don't think anyone who posts here hates Kim. Not even close. She's fantastic. Her contribution to the Pixies and Breeders/Amps are, obviously, hall of fame worthy. |

If Pixies are done I'd like confirmation quick. Bury it for fuck's sake. Most who wanted to see them play probably got their chance over the last ten years. Good for them. Enough. If you'd seen what they were you wouldn't be clamouring for a resurrection of an old copy of them. At least Kim gets it.

I'm certain everyone here appreciates and respects Kim's legacy with the Pixies. It wouldn't have been the same without her! However, I do think the band could respectfully continue on. Assuming she quit of her own volition, her voluntary absence shouldn't be a deal breaker. The Pixies ended its career centered on Charles' songwriting coupled with Santiago's unmistakable guitar. Kim's presence did unquestionably erode over Bossanova and Trompe, so if they're cannon, I think they deserve the right to prove they can do it entirely without her (they basically already did). Ultimately, I just don't think it's fair that Deal's absence should hijack an entire (apparently) finished album.
Best case scenario would be releasing the album as is with Kim's parts, obviously. But if that's not possible, and her quitting suggests that, I still want to hear what they've cooked up. |
