Billboard Bits: Joey Santiago, Willy Mason, The Living End
May 05, 2006, 3:45 PM ET
As the first wave of the Pixies' reunion tour finally winds down, guitarist Joey Santiago has aligned with commercial sound agency Elias Arts. While based out of New York, he will focus on composing music for television commercials. As previously reported, Santiago also recently scored the Canadian documentary "Radiant City," which is about planned housing.
The Pixies will begin a short European tour July 14 in Trencin, Slovakia, but Santiago recently told Billboard.com the band has no further plans for the time being. "I'd only be interested if it happens in an organic manner; if all our schedules are aligned and we're all feeling it," he said of a possible new Pixies studio album. "That's the only reason to do it."

That's true, but to get Joey's song you have to buy the whole album, which isn't $10 but $12! I hate when itunes does stuff like this. |

| It's kind of funny reading these press releases and news features... I remember back at the Hammerstein shows in NYC in Dec 04, a lot of the people I was sitting with were from Elias Arts, and even back then they were talking bout 'developing his talents'... |

'Develop' Joey's talents-what a lofty claim! :)
http://www.smmirror.com/MainPages/DisplayArticleDetails.asp?eid=3884
So you think the worlds of rock ‘n’ roll rebels and TV advertising don’t mix?
Santa Monica’s EliasArts, international TV advertising soundtrack giant, begs to
differ. EliasArts has recently snared such independent music icons as Joey
Santiago of the Pixies and DJ Nic Harcourt of KCRW to sign on as music and
licensing directors. The Pixies have been credited by some with being inventors
of alternative music as we know it. Likewise, Nic Harcourt is known to have
shaped the face of independent music tastes internationally. |

| Interesting tunes. The first one is kind of neat cuz Joey cuts out the last 2 beats from the 16 neat bar. Very Frankish. Works well with his style of play. |

I also found these samples of Joey's work on the Showtime show "Weeds":
http://www.last.fm/music/Joey%20Santiago
This is probably all old news for most of you but I didn't even realise he had worked on that show until now. Soundtrack is available with both songs. |

This is from The Breeders'Jose Medeles Blog-6/10/2007
Topic: TIME FLYS...
Message: Recently i've been in the studio with Joey Santiago (pixies) handling the drums, percussion and noise on a soundtrack. Fun stuff. Hooked up Josh Klinghoffer and played some music at Daniel Lanois beautiful studio. Josh is definately one of my favorite musicians. Finished up an EP for 1939 ENSEMBLE, its a duo project with Jim Brown on upright bass, currently booking some shows around LA. My new solo drum record is finished, just waiting for Manny to find time to mix it. I'm really happy with it. Hopefully i'll have some tracks from it up soon. My other band has been working in the studio harder then ever. Thats it for now. All the best...
