| Can someone explain to me the significance of this phrase? I guess I'm curious to know the meaning of the shirt I've been wearing for quite some time now. |

| I know what you mean, only recently did I learn that my favourite, Frankie's 'Relax', was not in fact an exhortation to remove the stresses and strains from one's life, and as a result I feel somewhat defiled. Thanks for listening. |

I've always thought of it as "the king is dead, long live the king", meaning the continuity from the late king to the new king.

I suppose it's a joke, like instead of saying 'We're The Pixies, we're so cool'.

| I made my own t-shirt once, and wrote "Death to the Pixies" with a marker on it when we were gonna play with my band, and I remember several people thought I didn't like the Pixies. |

I agree with Erebus.
It's just a brilliant self mocking slogan.

You should read the Pixies bio "Fool The World" its all in there. The whole story.
It was from the first poster they made in Boston when no one knew who they were. Great Ad Campaign!

Great poster!
Wonder how many beers it took for Black to get his kit off.
Any plan for a Frank Black bio, pleeease? |

Every time I wear this shirt my girlfriend says "there's Frank's penis!" or some variation. I think she just likes saying dirty words.

I'm wearing my death to the Pixies shirt right now. I've had plenty people asking me if that's his thumb or his cock.

Was there ever really a debate? If you consider the lighting, it's pretty obvious.
 And aren't you havin' fun? |

| Wow I'd seen that picture a couple times but I never realized that that was the idea behind it- that his thumb looks like it could be his penis .or vice versa. I am undecided. |

I like how his other arm is underneath there to make sure his "thumb" doesn't hit the floor. It's OK to get your face dirty, but you don't want the tip of your "thumb" to get dust on it.
