I might be wrong, but I think the Pixies are no more.

I think Kim should open up to the idea that a new pixies cd could be the most beautiful that happened to music since sigur ros. (sorry about going off topic)

They should do an album with Sigur Ros. Now that would be cool.

Do we have Kim to blame for all this? I know she's the one that didn't want to make a new album. |

There's no original article, that's from the BBC Radio 1 interview with Colin Murray.

to be honest, I didn't speak to him. A friend of mine did, and taped the conversation. Something about Zwolle and that the Pixies were over.

Hi mrteilhof...I think you'll be waiting a long time for another Pixies show, sadly!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Pixies are done. I wish even more that I had gone to see them at their last gig here in Australia. Ah well.

Yup its true Im afraid. i heard FB say it on Radio1 a couple of weeks ago.
Oh well.
I never thought I would get the chance and then I saw them thrice.
Gotta say. Live at the palace in melbourne was the one for me. perfect. Tiny venue. And his voice was rock. Truly amazing.
Thank you so, so much. |

I'd say for now, the Pixies have been put to bed. Which is the best for all of us really. If they decide to tour in another 5-10 years, we'll all be salivating like mad to hear those tunes again. Now, its sorta played out. And a new album would have never been what we wanted/expected. Better to let the myth be the myth.

Good point. I saw the Pixies once during the reunion and it was personally the best show I have ever been to. I lost a little interest in going to a show in the short term after finally seeing them, but in another 5-10 years the craving would be back. |

I totally agree with Broken Face. "Trompe Le Monde" has to be the last, the very last one. I will always be keen on a new Pixies reunion, but to my mind, a new Pixies album could be very... disappointing I don't want to remember my all-time favorite band as a band that sucked with a bad reunion disc... |

I don't know. My fandom for Frank Black survived Honeycomb. Why couldn't my fandom for the Pixies survive if their next album was a stinker? |

But Mr. Evolution, imagine if FB "retired" after COR and Honeycomb was his comeback album - would you have stuck around after that? I'd like to think i would, but i don't know. Plus, if a new Pixies album sucked, that might officially seal the deal forever (ie. no new touring ever).

WHY would a new Pixies album suck, though? No album Frank or the Breeders have released has sucked so far. Unless they leave the songwriting to Dave (which would be interesting but certainly no dead cert in the genius ranks) I can't see how they would make an album that would disappoint me, personally. They still sound great together. I'm so tired of the "gospel" way of thinking. How has "preciousness" got anything to do with what the Pixies did, (does,) and could do?
Besides, Sleep Tonight is one of my favourite Stones tracks, but it's off my least favourite record (Dirty Work), and I'm sure we'd all find nuggets in a new Pixies album no matter how patchy, and who needs a new Doolittle anyway?
Having said that, I don't give a fuck if they ever do anything together again as long as they're churning out great and often superior music while apart. |

Mr. Met,
I was just taking the opportunity to take another shot at Honeycomb, but back to your question.
Why is the scenario stopping at COR? If Frank had put out 2 great and 1 ok solo albums (my opinion) and then came back 10 years later with Honeycomb, then he probably wouldn't be on my automatic buy list anymore. But, the Pixies have built a far bigger catalog and reputation both as a band and solo acts and they haven't been absent as artists. I think they would survive if the album wasn't seen as a piece of crap that they just tossed out there (an unlikely scenario).

As long as they're happy, I am happy. I am just glad to have seen them three times when I thought I never would have seen em.

I don't know. Remember The Stooges latest record Or New York Dolls. Or Radio Birdman. Or Big Star. Or, for a more recent band, Smashing Pumpkins. Etc. |

It would be different if Frank hadn't written anything since Trompe, then decided to make a new Pixies album. But if he can still write stuff as good as the songs on Bluefinger or Fort Wayne, he can write new Pixies songs. At least that's what I would think.

Well, not wanting to raise hopes unfairly, but with an artist like FB, and his 'magic songwriting machine' tendencies, you're less likely to be disappointed than with an artist who struggles to produce more than one album every three years or so!
At least relations with the Pixies seem cordial.

But Kim wants to write the songs.

Are you implying that Kim is male?
I haven't read anything that implied that the hang up was that Kim wanted to write the songs. |

Though, I can't believe they just reunited to release that "Bam Thwok"... Sure, Pixies are not dead yet. Wait and see. |
