I didnt buy it I swear but on the cover of the latest it says something like 'New Pixies album' so i read the article in WH Smith
and aparently at the JD gig Frank gave an interview saying that they are really keen on doing an album. And aparently have booked rehersal/recording sessions for 2007 and hope that Kim will show up.
Either Frank had too much Jack or he's trying his English sarcasm again!!
Or the NME are trying to get back their readers who have taste!!

I think a new Pixies album is certainly a very possible idea - i think everyone is expecting it to be out last week, whereas i see it as something next year, or perhaps even 2008 - why? Because there is a new Breeders album in the works, and a few FB projects in the fire, and i would much rather the two songwriters (if Kimmy is writing for the Pixies) take their time and write some great songs rather than pump out a new album of mediocre material.

Agree with Brian as usual. To me, a new Pixies album is not only possible - it's a very likely thing. But I'm more optimistic than some I suppose.

PIXIES TO BEGIN WORK ON NEW ALBUM
Movie & Entertainment News provided by World Entertainment
News Network (www.wenn.com)
2006-10-19 18:30:09 -
Rockers the PIXIES have made a dramatic U-turn and are set to begin work on their
first album in 15 years early next year (07).
The DEBASER band reformed in 2004 for a lucrative world tour after splitting in 1991,
when the relationship between FRANK BLACK and KIM DEAL broke down.
Earlier this year (06), Black said he had ditched plans to record new material because
the songs he'd composed lacked the feel of authentic Pixies tracks.
But he now says, "We're rehearsing in January. I know we like playing and everyone
likes touring together, so to keep doing that and not record anything is kind of like
being a country fair band.
"We don't want to do that, so the only thing we can do is become a vital band again."

| I read this in a shop today. Sounds like they actually had an interview with Frank. He mentioned a solo 'Best of' release for next year as well. Not heard about that one before. |

Pixies to begin work on new album
Frank Black says the band will hit the studio in 2007
Pixies are set to begin work on their first studio album in 15 years.
Singer Frank Black has confirmed the band will start work in January on their first record since 1991's 'Trompe Le Monde'.
Speaking about the album, Black explained that the band still have a lot of work to do before an album appears.
"We're rehearsing in January, if we can persuade Kim (Deal, bassist) to come out of her house," he told NME.COM. "We offered to go to her but we figured if we book the rehearsals she'll show up.
"Since we got back together we've played almost everywhere we can. I know we like playing and everyone likes touring together, so to keep doing that and not record anything is kind of like being a county fair band. We don't want to do that, so the only thing we can do is become a vital band again. So it's just a matter of doing it, I guess."
Black also said that the band are planning a 'Best Of' for the New Year and he criticised the forthcoming DVD release of Pixies documentary 'LoudQUIETloud', due out next month.
"David [Lovering, drummer], who was rock solid for a couple of years, his dad died. He was OK, but as it got towards the end of the tour he started drinking heavily. He messed up a couple of songs and it was all caught on film," he said. "But they re-edited this to look like it happened in the middle of our tour and it looked like this whole tour careered into this drunken stupor with David. It really wasn't like that at all - he was really solid for, like, 90% of it."
A special, one-off Pixies night in London takes place on November 3 at Camden's Proud Gallery with a preview screening of the new documentary.
A Pixies club night will follow, with guest DJs from 4AD and NME, including documentary star Mark Beaumont.
An email address - quietloudquiet@yahoo.co.uk - has been set up exclusively for NME.COM readers to email for reduced entry guest list at £4. You can also enter a prize draw for Pixies DVD goodies + to request their favourite Pixies song to be played on the evening.

Not to mention that most of those remarks are Frank reiterating things he said like two months ago.
The only thing new and of relevance (to me, at least) here is this
Black also said that the band are planning a 'Best Of' for the New Year
Wha? They already have two of those. I'll reserve judgement until I know what this is, though. Maybe it's some kind of "soundtrack" for the documentary or somethin'. |

I don't really bother reading the headlines. It's the reiterating that makes it sound promising. I'm not expecting a done deal with this interview, but it's nice to hear him still talking about it.

It's absurd how they all follow NME's lead without paying attention to the fact that NME didn't necessarily get the story right. Clearly, everyone (fans and journos included) wants the Pixies to give it another go. But it's stupid how they think that if they write it, it'll happen. For that reason, part of me hopes the Pixies don't record another album. (And another part of me agrees with Kim that they take a chance at ruining part of their legacy if a new album comes out crap.)

coastline, it was the reported "fact" of a Pixies reunion that realy spurred on the actual reunion tour, so I think writing about it could prompt a new album. Also, getting together to jam doesn't mean recording, recording doesn't mean releasing, and so forth. I doubt they will release anything they're not happy with, and as long as they are happy with it, it is not crap. I may not be what the fans want, or what the critics like, but the whole thing of the "legacy" seems antithetical to the ideals of creating art. I mean, writing a song or an album specificially to create some sort of "legacy", I think, would be deamed kind of prentious and shallow. Seems like NOT writing an album for the same purpose is just as bad. Either you want to make music or you don't.
maybe I'll kick it

Are the Pixies really making a new album next year?
posted by: Steve Hyden
October 24, 2006 - 1:15pm
Record store clerks from coast to coast are buzzing about the possibility of a new Pixies album. The story comes from the NME, which proclaims with absolute certainty that the celebrated indie rock band “will hit the studio in 2007.” The info supposedly comes from Frank Black, though the quotes in the article sound less definitive than the headline.
"I know we like playing and everyone likes touring together, so to keep doing that and not record anything is kind of like being a county fair band. We don't want to do that, so the only thing we can do is become a vital band again. So it's just a matter of doing it, I guess."
Since when does “it’s just a matter of doing it, I guess” mean “yes sir, we are definitely making a new album in 2007”? In an interview with The A.V. Club posted online this week, Black talked about flippantly confirming "new Pixies album" rumors to reporters who won't take "sorry, there's no news yet" for an answer. Did the NME fall for an annoyed reaction from Black, or do fans really have something to look forward to? We’ll see.

It's good to see other publications actually read the NME story and saw how irresponsible the headline was. It's fine to report rumors, but don't pretend they're facts. I come at this first as a Pixies/FB fan, but second as a journalist (I'm an editor at a large U.S. newspaper), and it's embarrassing to see this sort of thing, even if it's "just" music journalism.

Here's comes my man
This has been a whiplash month for
Pixies fans. This week we heard
from NME that in January the Pixies
will be going into a studio to work
on a new album. Frank Black said
so.
"We're rehearsing in
January, if we can persuade
Kim (Deal, bassist) to come
out of her house," he told
NME.COM. "We offered to go
to her but we figured if we
book the rehearsals she'll show up.
"Since we got back together we've played almost everywhere we can. I
know we like playing and everyone likes touring together, so to keep
doing that and not record anything is kind of like being a county fair
band. We don't want to do that, so the only thing we can do is become a
vital band again. So it's just a matter of doing it, I guess."
But last week's Onion AV Club featured an interview with Black in which he makes
it clear he's tired of being asked when the Pixies will make a new album -- so much so
that now he's just messing with us.
AVC: Are there any specific plans for future work with the Pixies?
FB: Not that specific, no. When we've got something to say to the world,
we will. I'm really happy that people are interested. "So, what's up with
the Pixies record? So, what's up with the Pixies record?" One guy just
kept asking me and asking me in an interview, and I kept saying, "I just
got done telling you no, there's nothing to report." Finally, he brought it
up in some other way, and I was like, "Yeah, actually, June 15 of next
year, it's coming out." So sure enough, I started seeing publications:
"June 15, the new Pixies record's coming out!" I told him 10 times,
"We've got nothing on the books, and I've got nothing to say," and I
finally just was being obviously flippant with him. I'm not complaining,
that's just the way it is.
(NME link via WYEP's Music Blog.)
Frank Black is touring now to support "Fast Man Raider Man." They'll be at Mr. Small's
in Pittsburgh this Friday.

I understood when Frank Black said he would never go back to the
studio with Kim Deal because she was hard to work with. Touring with
her again wasn't bad because,"...you go out do your job and wouldn't
see each other again till the next gig." But it seems that the bling is
calling. The Pixies are going to record their first album in 15 years! I
have mixed feelings about this.

Frank Black said that in an interview, on the radio, heard him say that himself. Initially, Frank made a joke about jamming together, and the resulted in rumours. That's what made Frank think about a real reunion.

Sex, News, & Violins 10.27.06
Posted by Jamie Buttineau on 10.27.2006
The Pixies make me a liar by making a new album, Bloc Party wants to spend a
weekend in the city wth Aaliyah, Kurt Cobain is the richest corpse in the world,
and tons of Courtney Love related jokes. Because on Halloween what could be
scarier than Courtney Love? Yeah, that's right, nothing.
Opening banter? We don't need no stinkin' opening banter!!
Headlines!
On One Hand This Completely Contradicts Something I Reported Earlier. On The
Other Hand YAY!
Frank Black has come out and announced that legendary indie band The Pixies
will indeed be making a new album. The last new material the band put out was
the Kim Deal written single "Bam Thwok" which didn't fare so well with critics. Regardless, the band is hoping to start working on the album
with Deal sometime next year.
Of course this completely goes against what I reported in earlier columns but in this case I'm ok with this. I had a sneaking suspicion they
would write new stuff. Or if not a sneaking suspicion then a faint hope. Now it's time to see if they have any goodness left in them or if
they've gone the way of other reunited bands and become shells of their former selves.
Here's what Frank Black had to say about the new album:"Since we got back together we've played almost everywhere we can…I know we
like playing and everyone likes touring together, so to keep doing that and not record anything is kind of like being a county fair band. We
don't want to do that, so the only thing we can do is become a vital band again. So it's just a matter of doing it, I guess." True enough.
On Kim Deal's involvement:"We're rehearsing in January, if we can persuade Kim to come out of her house. We offered to go to her but we
figured if we book the rehearsals she'll show up." And so one of the best bands ever prepare to set out to create yet another work of genius.
Or to tarnish their legacy with a mediocre album, one or the other. Fingers crossed people. |

Legend/myth #1 that I don't believe: The Pixies broke up by fax. Legend/myth #2 that I don't believe: The Pixies got back together solely because of false media reports. These things make for great fantasy, but I can't imagine they're anchored in truth.
frnck blck, do you read this section of the forum? Back me up on this. It's b.s., right?

Pixies, Dinosaur Jr recording new albums: 2007 officially
renamed 1988
Oh, Mission of Burma, what have you done?
In a few short years, the hallowed history of ancient Boston indie-rock has gone
from "you hadda be there" to "you've gotta be kidding me." Sure, it seemed like a
great idea at the time: we got to live out some fantasies by seeing Burma at Lili's,
the Pixies at the Paradise, the Lou Barlow Dinosaur at Avalon. Hey, aging hardcore
junkies get theirs all the time -- Gang Green reunites whenever the hell they can get
a VFW hall to book 'em -- so what's wrong with a few thousand proto-grunge fans
forking over a few quid in exchange for the fantasy of not having moved to Boston
been born a little too late?
When we get past this grisly mess, historians will likely observe that the Boston alt-
rock revival officially jumped the shark when Evan Dando was allowed to put out a
solo record credited to the Lemonheads, the single of which is a 20-year-old song
that wasn't good enough for the Lemonheads the last time around.
Thanks to Burma, who made old people smile by miraculously picking up where
they left off, now everyone thinks they can just get back together and make new
albums and they'll be good. Or at least not embarassing. The original Dino trio --
Mascis, Murph, Barlow -- have spent the past month "at Bisquiteen, the recording
space at J's house in Amherst, Massachusetts. The album, to be released on a
label yet to be determined, will be produced by J Mascis, engineered by John
Agnello and Justin Pizzoferrato, and mixed by John Agnello." In case you don't have
the re-issues in front of you, this'll be the first album by that lineup since Bug. Last
week NME finally got Frank Black to admit the Pixies are rehearsing in January for
their first disc since Trompe Le Monde. That is, "if we can persuade Kim (Deal,
bassist) to come out of her house," Black is quoted in NME. "We offered to go to her
but we figured if we book the rehearsals she'll show up." (Black also bitch-slapped
the Pixies doc onOFFon -- sorry, loudQUIETloud -- for making "it [look] like this
whole tour careered into this drunken stupor with David. It really wasn't like that at
all - he was really solid for, like, 90% of it.")
Which, OK, fine: all those guys need is a couple of Pitchfork 8.5's and they can send
their kids to college. But you know what this means, right?
It means there's probably going to be a Mighty Mighty Bosstones reunion. And then
how will you feel about yourself?
p.s., all that said, OTD would pay gazillions to see a reunion of the Tanya
Donelly/Kim Deal Breeders. Pretty pretty please.

One of the great things about the return of zombie WOXY is the return of their Lounge Acts studio
sessions - currently up, Frank Black, who incidentally calls rumours of a new Pixies album "Bulls--
t". And he actually pronounced the hyphens - both of them. |

Band: The Pixies To
Record New Album
Posted by Jennifer Van Evra on
Nov 08, 2006
It was one of the most
unceremonious breakups in
rock 'n' roll history: Early in
1993, Frank Black of The
Pixies told a BBC interviewer
that the legendary band was done. Thing was, he hadn't yet told his
bandmates. As the story goes, Black later phoned guitarist Joey
Santiago to break the news, then sent faxes to drummer Dave Lovering
and singer/guitarist Kim Deal.
It's a good thing for music fans that time heals all wounds, because Black
has confirmed that the Pixies are getting set to record their first studio
album in 15 years.
"Since we got back together we've played almost everywhere we can. I
know we like playing and everyone likes touring together, so to keep
doing that and not record anything is kind of like being a county fair band,"
Black told NME. "We don't want to do that, so the only thing we can do is
become a vital band again. So it's just a matter of doing it, I guess."
Of course, the million dollar question is, "Will Kim Deal be on the new
record?"
"We're rehearsing in January if we can persuade Kim to come out of her
house," Black said. "We offered to go to her, but we figured if we book the
rehearsals she'll show up."
This site has a list of anticipated albums, it has Pixies down for winter '07! I mean, what, they just guessed that?! It's ridiculously specific!:

The Pixies are Back
The Pixies are back. That’s right, the indie band that can be
credited with influencing some of the greatest bands to come out of
the early 1990s (including Nirvana, Radiohead, and Weezer) and
with being personal faves of legends like U2 and David Bowie, got
back together in 2004 after a long break involving some serious
fighting.
The Pixies are actually in the process of recording a new album, to
add to their studio albums produced so far (Come On Pilgrim, Surfer Rosa, Doolittle,
Bossanova ,and Trompe Le Monde). Their latest release Wave of Mutilation demonstrated that
the band had lost little in its eleven year break, with the single “Broken Face” carrying Frank
Black’s quirky vocals and angsty lyrics over a mixture of punk/party music instrumentals.
Whether or not the Pixies can overcome the troubles that haunted them in the past remains to
be seen. Certainly, the band members are much more mature in appearance than eleven years
ago (weight gain and hair loss has given them a distinctly un-indie look). The pressures that led
to the implosion of the band might be behind them, though, as bassist Kim Deal has proven
through other projects (The Breeders) that she is as capable a vocalist and writer as Black.

That was lame. Who are these morons? Did all the retards who used to write super-market soap-star gossip columns all get fired and then find jobs as music "journalists."
When I want to know which rockers got yuckie haircuts or wore a fashion "no-no" to the Grammy awards, I'll be sure to bring my laptop with me the next time I go to have my poodle permed and perfumed so I can log on to IndieUpdate.com while I wait. (I always wait so I can make sure they don't harm my precious)
At least they stopped testing make-up on these chimps and taught them how to use a pencil.

It has to be asked. Will we hear more the Pixies?
"We're supposed to play some gigs in Australia sometime in the next six months," Black said. "We don't have any firm plans for anything else. It'd be nice if we could get it together to make a record, but that has yet to be worked out. Little bit of hesitancy, I suppose, or a lot of hesitancy."
Why the hesitancy?
"Lots of reasons," he said. "Some people don't want to make a bad record. They don't want to mess with the gospel. I think that's part of it. Part of it's not real yet. It's got to be a vital kind of creative friendship going on when you're in a band. If it's just a reunion tour where you're getting together for old times' sake and playing the old songs, that's a different scenario than getting into a rehearsal space and trying to create something new. Different kind of headspace. Some people in the band don't want to force it. They want it to be friendly like, for all the right reasons."

When asked whether rumours of the Pixies recording a new album are true, guitarist Joey Santiago quipped to NME.COM, "They don't tell me anything -- except that we're touring Australia." |
