Hi,
I am a big Pixies fan. I was a Frank Black fan first, but when I discovered the Pixies I only saw it as an expansion of the greatness of both (and of the Breeders, whom I recognize as part of the holy trinity of FB, Pixies, Breeders. All one and yet clearly distinct from eachother.)
Anyway, the other day in the shower I had a really cool idea. The Pixies should start covering the Beatles song book. As a clue for what I had in mind, check out Kim's version of Happiness is a Warm Gun, on the album Pod. I was a little bit stoned and thought, "man, if only I was a concert promoter or something. I would do this. It would change the world. It could be a groundbreaking move for the Pixies, and it would break the Beatles song book wide open."
Once I sobered up a little I changed the scope of my ambitions. "I think I'll post this idea on the fb.net forums. If I think it's an interesting idea, then maybe other fans will too, and I'll be able to make a contribution to a community of my peers."
I made the post and apparently it got removed. I don't think I broke any rules. If there was a faq or something like that, I would have read it to familiarize myself with the board.
Is this some mistake? Did you think I was jesting? Is this board run by fascists? Was my idea really really stupid? |

You're close to the answer with your two last questions.

Or maybe the first two, even.
Seriously, though, the fact that Pixies did Wild Honey Pie and The Breeders did Happiness Is A Warm Gun (apparently suggested by Albini), both off the white album, is interesting.
 "Aw yeah, that's the good stuff!" |
