this is my first post here, so let me say hi before anything else.
"Hi" [:|]
i was browsing the [url=http://applemusic.com]apple music store[/url] on my mac and noticed there's no frank black or pixies out of 215K songs on the store. so, i ask what's up? i know the store only has major label stuff on it (aka, 92% junk), but i thought the pixies would be in there because their CDs are sold by elektra/warner in the US. the last breeders record (also from elektra) is on there. wasn't the first FB CD also on 4AD/elektra?
maybe frank didn't authorize the online sale of the songs?
well, since then i've requested pixies and FB from online store staff a bunch of times.
anyway, the only song i found on the store that frank black wrote was a cover of cactus performed by david bowie. speaking of that specific cover, has FB commented on having one of his idols cover his song? |

Dunno.
eMusic.com has all of his albums w/the Catholics. (Oddballs, too)

The first two FB records and all the Breeders albums are 4AD/Elektra releases. However, I think 4AD is acquiring or has recently acquired sole rights to said FB stuff as well as Pixies albums. I don't know what kind of bearing these facts have the Apple Music site situation, so...

as far as this apple service goes, Steve Jobs issued a statement saying he hopes to get the indie labels on board soon - so that would be when you'd be able to get pixies tracks from there - as it stands at the moment, I have no idea why the majors haven't let any FB tracks be available - maybe because the rights are going to revert back in the next couple of years?
once they start to have Beggars Group tracks there, you'll see Pixies on there.... |
