For one thing, I don't think I ever heard them play Greens and Blues, and it was nice to hear something fresh
To be honest I can think of 30 songs from Pixies 2.0 that I'd rather hear. It's not the best on Indie Cindy by a long shot.
The material from Zombies flowed a lot better.

Long thought the best version of Greens and Blues is the debut solo performance BF did - more of a pace to it and better dynamics. The album version is rather plodding. |

Yeah, and even a slow song like Chicken was nowhere near that kind of feeling
Slow, chill, but it works
Vegas Suite too, but I still don't get the dynamics in that song.
Motoroller sounded like a hit

Is there a link handy for that solo BF Greens and Blues performance?
I love the Vegas Suite but the song is easily one of Frank’s most schizophrenic tracks |

Boy, we really disagree a lot about Frank Black.
How is this not a great song? |

That's hilarious. The tables have turned and you are defending a 2.0 song to me :-)
It's not my least favorite on the album (we agree on that one), but it just sounds like one of those ones where Frank is trying to make a pop hit (I don't pretend to know his motives for anything). I feel like there's good stuff in it, it just came out kind of sanitized and bland, not angular and warped like it would have if FB wrote it in the 1.0 era. |
