Ah, it's shaping up to be quite the stinking piece of crap, just as I expected.

I don't know whether to see this just out of purely morbid curiosity, or to just avoid it like the plague.

yes? why?

is it because it's wrong to tell more people about Charles Thompson/Frank Black/Pixies, because you want to keep them for yourself and don't want your 12 year old neighbour to listen to them?

If that is indeed your reason
Then I think you're right
That's how I see it

But it might be a litle bit selfish from us

Maybe I'm extremely biased, because i hate musicals as an 'art form.' I think there is just something very contrived about someone singing their internal monologue out loud. I think even the least annoying ones are still pretty cheesy, and if I want to see performance art I'll more likely go to a play where there isn't the risk of someone breaking out into song every five minutes.

That said....it just feels dirty to see one of my all-time favorite bands being the centerpiece of an off-Broadway musical. The thought of Pixies songs being revamped into this over-the-top style and the possiblity of some horrid "medley" of three or more songs strung together just...makes me think its going to be crap.

But I'm just not a big fan of musicals...

If this turns out to be some awesome masterpiece, then I give you all the permission berate me for being a judgmental dickhead who jumps to conclusions. But I have a pretty strong feeling about this one.

Right, but c'mon... it's gonna be hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. I'd buy this soundtrack in a second. Crap, I'd drive up to New York to catch it.

i can only imagine the disgusting literal interperitations of the song lyrics.



before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. that way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Ingersoll, that's a pretty good signiture, I have to say.

The whole concept of the show seems kind of strange...I guess I never pictured Frank up in his room dreaming "someday I'm gonna be a rockstar" while looking at the stars through his window. I guess he must have at some point...I think a more interesting concept would be Frank Black starving to death in Spain with Crackity Jones as his roommate thinking "screw this, I'm going back to America to form a rock band with Joey".
