I'm looking for an interview I read in like 2001-ish, where he talks about living in LA and not having any allegiance to Boston. He also said something like, "Pixies will never reform unless I'm destitute." Anyone know where I might be able to find it? If not, I wonder if there are any other articles where he says similar stuff... |

"Sure there's a chance. Know any promoters that want to do a show on the moon?"
"I have resisted it for 10 years. It's easy to resist. I dont crave that particular adulation. I got people who adore me now. I have had that glory - I dont need to revisit it. I mean it would be good to be back with the band again... but it doesn't seem like the thing to do for me at this point. If I had to do it for financial reasons I would. We're more famous now than weve ever been. It kind of feels like we shouldn't touch it. If it's not broke - don't fix it."
"I don't think The Pixies will ever play together again as a band." (...)
"A reunion gig (...), it doesn't seem right or something. It seems wrong, so I would say probably we won't do that. I don't know, it just doesn't seem like the thing to do."
Do you have the sources of those quotes by any chance? Thanks for the help. |

I guess Frank finally realized that 10th grade IS in high school.

So, technically, Where Is My Mind is the first music ever played (by humans) on Mars.
"Lovely Day" or "Bird Dream Of The Olympus Mons" might have been a little more apropos for the planet, but that's still awfully cool.

Yeah, that sounds like the interview I'm talking about. Do you know where I could find it? Thanks a lot.

We're working on one as we speak. The backend should be done in a few weeks and then it's a matter of Madame Dayna filling it up with all the good stuff. So, in short, not yet, but soon.
