is it just me, or is darragh highlighting the fact he thinks the Pixies are shit?
it don't bother me and makes no difference to me, just wondering where you're coming from with this. i'm confused. |

Okay.
Didn't mean to be weird Steve the Pixie. Was just confused.
I saw some articles, then flashing Pixies Are Shit signs everywhere.
Was like a subliminal message or something inprinted in my mind.
But it's ok now. I get it. Pixies Are Shit.

| Sorry to confuse you FBC, I love the Pixies. I just thought it'd be interesting to put together the thoughts of some Pixies haters. Y'know, just for a laugh... |

No, it was my bad last night darragh.
I wasn't bothered with someone saying or thinking the Pixies Are Shit.
Just that such material was posted here at an obviously pro- pixies, well Frank site.
It's nice to know there are people out there who think they suck and are over-hyped, that's to be expected.
I just put 2 and 2 together and came up with 4, no 5....that's the one.
Seeing the articles, then the Pixies Are Shit flashin' signs, I presumed you'd put them there darragh, you said you'd grouped all the stuff together yourself.
I so got the wrong end of the stick, for which you have my apologies, d. The most sincerest of sorrys.
Can I lay blame at my stoned brain last night? Because I do. |

I didn't find it funny at all. I would like to hear someone slaughtering Pixies in a smart way, but this article is pure rubbish.
It even says Pixies are shit just because a Pixies "fan" had a fight with a Pantera fan. Simply Ridiculous.

Some of it's rather funny.
Cute way to have us go to your website. 
By the way on your "articles" page the three with the question mark (?) are from the July 6th 1988 East Coast Rocker. That magazine is still my prized possession, even in it's wrinkled old state.

The first guy sounds like he listened to Doolittle once and never anything else again. No melody? Hello! Listen to fucking Bossonova! That album's chock-full of incredible melodies, as well as Surfer Rosa and Trompe Le Monde. I can see where he's coming from if he just, as I speculate, listened to Doolittle once, but I can guaruntee that if he would simply listen a few more times he'd start to "get it."

When you have to resort to insulting Frank's weight, you know you're desperate to criticize. Besides, a lot of Steven Wells's comments make absolutely no sense. Do the Pixies really have a lot of yuppie fans? And then there's this:
"And that’s because The Pixies – in common with all the other generic indie bands – like Girls vs. Boys, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and Teenage Fan Club – were actually incapable of writing songs (per se). So instead they churned out entire albums of vaguely song-sounding cred-muzak."
Um, isn't Muzak usually nothing BUT melody? Not exactly what you'd want to mention when saying the Pixies don't have real tunes.
But hey, Mr. Wells DID give me a new signature!

Steven Wells used to write for either Melody Maker or NME in the late 80's/ early 90's. His articles always used to be extreme and hysterical.

Of course it's pure rubbish, that's why I found it funny- especially the angry Pantera fan- "Who the
Fuck is mark balck".
Btw, I was being more than a huge bit sarcastic with some of MY comments and those flashing signs... Maybe I've been watching a bit too much BrassEye...

| him talking about lack of wit? thats rich!!! so, first he has a go at the music but cant find much to say..and what he does say is bollox anyway (i can hum quite a few pixies tunes) so then he starts insulting franks weight? not very accepting is he...maybe he started a band but didnt make it and is anoyed and taking it out on his ex-fave band....anyway, i didnt bother finishing to read it....i wont waste my time...if it makes him happy let him insult the pixies but we see right through him, dont we boys? hehe |

I'm kind of surprised, really. I mean, music critics tend to be pretty dumb, but they can usually write fairly well. This guy was just a crappy writer. I mean, what does "shit union" even mean?
