I started out listening to the Pixies long before Frank. There is no way that I could ever get burned out on either of them. It seems obvious (to me anyways), that Frank's music has matured slightly with each album. This is not an uncommon characteristic. I intentionally rotate my choice of cds in a 'not too specific' fashion, to prevent an accidental overload. As a songwriter and musician, the music that I compose contains a very healthy influence of 50% Pixies, 50% Frank, and maybe 50% Fugazi. Despite my age and refinment, there is no way that I could ever reject, neglect, nor forget my musical roots. Be it listening or writing. I'm sure that you are all well aware that The Pixies shall ALWAYS BE.

from Guy in a rover: "Now I'm a little bit older I just feel like I can relate more to Franks solo material, it is more of an acquired taste, like you grow to appreciate a fine wine or an expensive whisky as you grow older. Whereas the Pixies are more like a 3 litre bottle of cider, that you binge on and rock out to when you're a teenager, but now doesn't seem to give you the same thrill".
i don't drink MAD DOG 20/20 any more not that PIXIES are not great but the present and future are something else and i sip it slowly.
4/13/05 and what followed was pretty damn cool though and i'm glad it happend.

I'm such an FB geek. Just listening to FB&TC's 1st record (on headphones) when I realized something was wrong! Something didn't sound right! Headphones on backwards.
Look what my life has become.
Oh, cheese. Wonderful cheese. I love you. |

the geeks guide to liking the black:
first play straight out of the case. second through the right channel only. third is the left. and finally, headphones on backwards.
sorted! |

I guess I'm not adding anything by saying that I love it all.
I listened to Honeycomb four times in one day at work last week. Tonight, I had a long drive and I was in a Bossanova/Doolittle mood. All of it fits well in my life. He's the greatest artist of all time. |

Teenager of the Year is an incredible album, my favourite Frank album, but to me it doesn't compare to the likes of Surfer Rosa, Doolittle or Trompe le Monde. Maybe it's better than Bossanova, I've never really thought about it, but there isn't a song on it nearly as good as Dig for Fire, so Pixies are, and probably always will be, my favourites.

Interesting, mcil. I could understand people picking songs like Gouge Away or Tame as favourites saying that FB post-Pixies comes in second for them, but I would think with a pop song like Dig for Fire, that Teenager would be an instant favourite. If I put Speedy Marie, for example, or Ole Mullholland, or ... (goes on to list most of TOTY) against Dig for Fire, I think I would generally find more interesting lyrics and music that was just as good or perhaps even more innovative.
You're obviously entitled, I just assumed people who like the Pixies better generally do so because they like the more rocking/edgy stuff.

I think, in the same way that The Pixies will always be special to people, the same could be said for TOTY. No matter what he's done since and will do in future, it'll always be a favorite for a number of fans.

Yes I have certainly overloaded on The Pixies. Just over a year ago I would listen to them non-stop and no other band even got so close as a look in. Nowdays however I only listen to them when in a certain mood, an undefinable mood i might add. But I still think they are the greatest band to grace our planet.

I personally feel that i don't listen to the Pixies as much as i used to simply because was listening to them for years before i was listen to Frank. What i mean is, it's like a progression. It doesn't mean i've stopped listening completely. You can't like Frank Black and say you hate Pixies. That's like saying you only like the cookie crisp of a Twix and not the chocolate. You have to bite through the chocolate first... Man, i'm hungry.

Well, I don't hate the Pixies or Frank Black either one, but there is a hugely distinct difference in the sounds of both musical acts, so I'd say you probably could like one and hate the other. Even many of the vocals from the Pixies are different from FB. The vocals on Trompe le Monde sound much more strong and "Frank Blackish," whereas the vocals from the Pixies albums before that sound alot more high-pitched.
But, I'm just preaching about the unconverted, because I love both bands about equally; it just depends on what kind of mood I'm in which music I listen to.
