I am always going back and buying legit copies of favorite records, and who was selling their copy of Frank Blacks first solo album on eBay but Kim Shattuck of the Muffs. So I bought it from her for $6.00. It's real crazy because I've talked to her a couple of times on the internet, and her band is pretty cool although real basic. Even better is the fact that I own a copy of a complete classic from a person in another national band.
I could talk myself to death, but I believe I would only waste my breath. |

Yeah, this happens to me from time to time though I'm never so lucky as to get it from someone cool like that. That's part of the reason I put those links in the Discopedia - to help people find and grab legit copies, whether digital or not. eBay's too transient for that though. Plus, using those links helps us out a few cents if something _does_ actually get purchased, or far more so if you sign up for a trial membership to various services. On the plus side, if you are signed up, it is _supposed_ to take you right to somewhere that you can listen.

| This isn't really on topic but a guy called Bobby did the sound on a European tour my band was on a couple of years ago and he'd recently toured with the Muffs. To set the levels every day before soundcheck he used a cdr that opened with Hang On To Your Ego, which I hadn't heard before & really impressed me, so there's a slight possibility that the cd you bought sorta got me into Frank. (The only song I could identify as a Pixies song at that time was Gigantic, so I thought they had a girl singer. I can't believe my former ignorance.) |

More on Kim Shattuck performing non-obvious cover songs from the Pixies family tree:
Her band, The Muffs, covered Kim Deal's song "Pacer" (from the Amps record). It's on the Muffs' b-sides and outtakes album, Hamburger. |
