On the Pistolero tip - my girlfriend is a real bigtime rocker. I mean she likes the real heavy rock stuff. Her favorite band is Tool for example. Well I've been trying to get her into Frank for sometime. And she likes the rockers...ala.."Men In Black" but she would never be down for "Selkie Bride" for example if youknowwhatimsayin

anyways this thread reminded me about this album and it occured to me that I hadn't played many of these in some time -not only for her but for myself. Well "Smoke Up" "Rock and Roll" and "Hard To Make Things Out" were all right up her alley. as well as others. This thread reintroduced me to that album that I had forgotten that I loved so much - and may have finally broken through to Miss Manson.

At the end, "think" doesn't matter at all.

"So Hard To Make Things Out" - rocks. I love the dueling (well that what it sounds like to me) lead/rhythm guitars. And as for the change of pace alluded to in the previous post....mmmmmmmmm. On a final note - is this the longest song he's done?


Well, no, "Surf Epic" is definitely longer. Maybe some others are as well, but I don't feel like investigating right now.

Yeah the FBF Planet of Sound is even longer than Surf Epic by nearly 5 minutes.

I think it's designed as a soundtrack for an acid trip. And since I haven't tripped in nearly a decade, I haven't bothered with listening to that whole song. Is there anything interesting past minute 7 or 8, fbc?


Please pardon me, for these my wrongs.

I wouldn't know. That disc doesn't really float my boat. But the "Sing For Your Supper" demos, that's my kind of Pixies.

I must've listened to the acoustic demos at least 10 times more than the second disc. Although thinking about it now, there are some pretty decent versions on there. Cactus, Velouria and Into the White stand out for me.
