The silence around here and the lack of output from the man is starting to border on disturbing.
I don't think I'm out of line in saying that a Grand Duchy release between The Golem (about 4 years ago) and now just ain't cutting it. The webstore over at blackfrancis.net has been nothing but cobwebs since god knows when - we've been chewing ice for years now.
Is he mad that we didn't like the last GD album? Busy with the kids? Home life? I understand all that, I'm just wondering, as an ardent supporter and a guy who has spent a small fortune on the man's work, what's the word? How bout a bone? The news thread on frankblack.net still has the last album listed by the working title name, and that thing that was recored as a one-off in a couple days wasn't anything to write home about.
Are we done here?

or maybe it means they're having website problems?
a big website update doesn't require a couple of days of downtime.
 it's educational |

The Bureau website has been down for several days now. It would be cool if this meant some big new update (with, perhaps, an accompanying redesign) coming right up, but I have no idea. |

I haven't been following things as closely as usual of late, but is there anyone else 'round here who thinks it possible that some kind of "Ball-Hog or Tugboat" style action is afoot?
Could just be me catching the tail end of a few tracers, but a few things crystallized the other day while I was in the shower and now I can't shake the thought.

I had the chance and fully intended to ask him about this a couple weeks ago, then when face to face with the man I gushed about his music and asked for an autograph and a picture instead. Hah! Got the answer anyway though! I'll be first in line for sure. Guess I know now what happens when the rubber meets the road...

i can say that catholix box set has been a challenge to organise. a lot of material. and box sets are not that easy to just print up. it involves an enormous amount money, and lots double checking that it is correct; after all, people will be asked to pay a lot of money for it themselves. but we are finishing last touches on art work and packaging.

I'm sure he's well aware that his small gaggle of diehards are champing at the bit. That's probably not enough to make him go out of his way to scrape up a PR. Hopefully we hear something soon though. He sure seems to be painting his ass off over on Facebook though.... (Van Vliet syndrome?)

i'm certain if humans had a third arm the male of the species would always be scratching/playing/holding his dong. three arms is too many. arm arm arm must be a chronic masturbator. deductive reasoning. booya

And in the comments section, there was something from Nick Vincent saying: "Bring it on over".
Now this of course is just a bunch of words on the internet, I have no inside info, I'm sure BF just wanted to post a picture of his tape machine, it doesn't mean that there will be a new pixies album or that the mayan calendar says this or that or whatever... But the timing is amusing.
I saw that too. and then "liked" it. and then forgot about it until you mentioned it.
was that the 2-track that pistolero and others were recorded on?

I'm with 3xArm. I don't get this complaining from longtime fans. These reunion shows aren't for us. We're insignificant. They're for the tens of thousands of newish fans, most of whom have probably never seen Pixies live. It might come as a shock but we don't own Frank. Get over ourselves.

I have to think it's getting a little old for them by now - going through the motions with these 20+ year old songs. Don't get me wrong, I love 'em. I saw them back in [I think] 06 and it was fantastic. My girlfriend loves FBF (I introduced her the first weekend we hung out years ago and Honeycomb kind of became "our album") and I'd love to get her out to see them some time. We've missed BF solo acoustic the last two times he came through Pittsburgh :( really sucks.
Anyway, back to my point: They would probably love to hang it up but it's probably hard to turn down that payday. It's got to be like a nice little ATM for them when everyone gets low on cash. Can't blame them one bit. Also, with the shine kind of worn off the reunion by now, I expect they could care less about a new album at this point. Which as I suggested earlier is more than likely a blessing in disguise.

I'm fine with the Pixies going on tour every couple years without a new album. Throw some more b-sides Trompe and Bossa songs into the set, do some more music-noise solos a la Vamos with other songs and have an official last gig if they think they've taken it as far as they can go without new music.
