Oh and I've asked this a couple of times before. Was Waits' 1992 album Bone Machine any kind of nod to Surfer Rosa 's opener? Anyone know? Anyone care?

You can clearly see what a train wreck Kim's life had become. Like I said, I've known lots of addicts/alcoholics, that didn't happen to her overnight, it was long in the making.



Yeah, I've seen that Dutch documentary too (which is 11 years old, by the way, so hardly reflects the current situation). I was amazed by the vibrant creativity emanating from the Deal sisters, and floored by how honest and open they were with themselves and others. Did they have problems? Certainly. A train wreck? I don't think so.

Violet's message represents one side of this story, namely the other band members' (or perhaps just Frank's) frustration with Kim Deal. But Kim is not telling her side of this story, and whatever it is, I'd say the frustration was probably mutual.

I wish people would either just spill the beans on everything that happened or stay tight-lipped and say nothing. That message from Violet is the worst of both. Vague allusions that basically call Kim a horrible broken defective person. I mean, Kim currently seems to be doing just fine with a successful Breeders tour. How defective can she really be?

So perhaps they hate her right now. It's understandable. Suddenly leaving a band while they're recording new material is kind of a bitch move. But you know, perhaps it's not actually worse than Frank disbanding an about-to-be-famous band over the radio and then informing the others by fax and not talking to Kim for 12 years until reality hits and dollar signs appear before his eyes. Which I gather is how Kim must see it.

It's all water under the bridge now anyway. Pixies live, The Breeders live, and life is good! I just miss Frank Black and the Catholics now... never got a chance to see them :(

I wonder if Kim's departure would open the door to the Pixies incorporating some of Frank's solo and Catholics stuff. Brilliant songs like Heloise, South Bay, Robert Onion, Bartholomew (how'd you end up in the coffee? Genius!), His Kingly Cave (with Joey already on lead guitar), California Bound, Jet Black River, Serious Curious would fit right in to the Pixies repertoire and deserve a much wide audience than they've gotten so far.

Bagboy! I like it. It took me a few listens before it sunk in and felt like this was the Pixies, man. Now I've spent my whole day off work (recovering from Glastonbury) listening to their back catalog and being excited about the Pixies for the first time in ages.

I like to complain

Just listening to The Everybody again. I'd love it if Pixies re-used some of the sounds found on Avatar - a lot of it is superb.

It wasn't just that Dutch documentary. There are/were a number of other videos that prove my point. There was a video of her...now taken down....with one of those Fear second stringers, where she was completely out of her mind. There is the infamous John Agnello answering machine message that shows how much "fun" it was to work with Kim. Add it all up, and it shows that Kim had, and probably still has, emotional problems.

There is a very telling scene in loudQUIETloud with her parents where her father defends her wacky behavior. Makes me wonder if her dad wasn't her prime enabler.

As for your accusations against Charles, I've been saying the same thing....and taking a lot of shit over it here...for a long time. Charles tried everything he could for 12 years and finally threw in the towel and admitted that the Pixies were/are his meal ticket. Not talking to her for 12 years was a shitty thing to do. He didn't endear himself to her by calling her back for the money grab tour either. Oh, in his defense, the fax went to the manager, not the individual band members.

Thanks. I've been wondering about that, off and on, for 20 years.

Like most of the people on here, I don't wish Kim Deal any ill will at all. I still hold her in high regard and wish her the absolute best. I really like her new "Hot Shot" single too. I'm just happy that her exit opens the door for the new music from the remaining Pixies. And as for my support for Violet's hit-and-run disappearing post, sure it was a bit on the personal side but I guess I was just excited to hear at least one person in the inner circle stop walking on eggshells for a minute--well, 60 minutes, anyhow--and tell it how they saw it.

Hi all. Long time lurker, first time poster.

I've been following the Pixies and the Breeders since the first incarnations of both acts. I've seen both live in the beginning and during the reunions (and in the case of the Breeders, all line ups including the Amps).

I don't think anyone, Kim herself, would deny that she's difficult to work with. She's a perfectionist and once took a year off of recording in order to learn the drums as she was unsatisfied with the sounds she was getting from different drummers. I don't know her personally, but I've interviewed her a couple of times for some smaller press when I lived in Ohio and we had a few chats here in NYC through mutual friends. She's a very strange and very wonderful, odd and warm person from what I've gathered.

I think it's been clear since Loud Quiet Loud that Kim's focus has always been on her own music. She and Kelley were working up demos for Mountain Battles while touring with the Pixies after all. I got the impression that the Pixies reunion for Kim was a sort of "day job" meant to pay the bills while she worked on her art. And now that the Last Splash tour is such a success, those notions of art and commerce are crossing for her again. After seeing three LSXX shows, I can say that in the 25-ish Breeders shows and ten or so Pixies shows I've attended, I've never seen Kim seem happier. The line up has fantastic chemistry, they sound great and they've been teasing in interviews that there may be new Breeders material from them in the pipe line.

Even though I couldn't get into Bagboy, I'm glad that serious Frank fans have a chance at some new Pixies material even though, in my opinion, it misses something without Kim (just as the other Breeders line ups were missing something without Josephine and Jim). Here's hoping the possible new albums from both sides end up being satisfying all around.

Hier ben ik het dus helemaal mee eens!

Where is Dave Phillips when you need him! He played on this Tom Waits album maybe he knows?

Id love to hear Garbage Heap new Pixies style that would be amazing.

Welcome hoverin
Being myself a perfectionist when recording and mixing music in the studio, I quite feel how difficult it must have been for such different personalities as BF and KD.
BF can write songs in 5 minutes, record two albums per year, and he's the driving force behind the Pixies.
KD needs time, as Albini she is a perfectionist on the sounds (see drums), she is very emotional but at the same time a kind of guardian that "cerebralizes" the doings of the other three (only guessing here of course, I'm just Fissiling)

So who is right, who is wrong, that's not the proper question. They are polar opposites, and the alchemy gave amazingly brilliant songs and the best band ever, but the equilibrium was just not sustainable. Each one of them very probably could not stand working with one another. Seems like an adult and wise decision to part ways.

Hmm ok, sillier than visiting Violet's facebook to find and repost a comment which was clearly intended for facebook only?

Personally, I have never seen Violet's facebook, nor would I want to. I am not that kind of fan. To each his own though.

I never heard that Navajo quote from Gil, where did you read it? That song was always special for me, brilliant but bittersweet. I remember when I heard that they broke up orginally I listened to it over and over again. The last ever song by the Pixies.......until :)

Sprite, I dont remember where i read that gil norton quote aboute the navajo, but i remember he said in the same interview "Trompe le monde was very hard to record but i'm happy now because charles told me the next album is already written". That next album ended up being the first fb album, with edf and santiago that were already playing on Trompe, so for me the orange album was the next pixies album, and the pixies could end up to be just charles it would be perfectly alright for me. If you see every FB album as the next pixies album, everything is fine, as it was not a real collective band like the Stranglers or the Beatles, it was mainly Charles' band. I'm ok with Gigantic as i'm ok with little miss strange or she's so fine, it's just not the center of the thing. Another example in rock history: XTC could end up being just Andy Partridge, it would be fine for me. Also, The beach boys could be just brian wilson, Motorhead could be just Lemmy, etc... I know it's just a point of view and i'm really happy Joey and Dave are back in the game, but that Kim or not Kim question shouldnt raise so much mambo. People never realize how much Kim learnt from Charles' songwriting and that way made very good music afterwards. If you listen to the demos on frank black francis, 90% is already there. NOW i'm not saying everything is as good and fresh as it used to be, why should it be? I'm still happy to hear a new Leonard Cohen or Bob Dylan Album, it doesnt have to compete with blonde or blonde or songs of LC.

Who am I kidding, will buy the tickets, agree with Jason (I think it was him that said this) that the Pixies are not sacred. I feel privileged to have seen the original line-up twice, but if Kim leaving was necessary in order for the other guys to release new material, than so be it. Continuing to tour the hits would be past embarassing at this point, everyone agrees. Sad to see Kim Deal go, slways loved her, a very talented person that I will miss on the live shows. Couldn't give a shit about all this talk regarding her being unstable or whatever. They've gone their separate ways, and I hope to hear new stuff from both songwriters in the near future.

But if the remaining Pixies finally made this bold move and are going to tour some of the new songs, please don't go for the middle of the road with the new material by releasing singles or EPs, testing the waters. You've tested them with Bagboy and it's a great, quirky and fun tune, with those familiar Pixies guitar sounds but also with something new. Fantastic song. Please release an ALBUMs' worth of what the Pixies sound in this new decade.

Loving Bagboy but... Is it wrong that I'm already wishing for more new material. Can't help it. I'm like a junkie that just fell off the wagon. I really hope they're misleading us about there not being a new album. I want to spin a whole new Pixies album as I "put it in the hammer lane". I'll still be happy as long as we do get new material released even if it's in download form. I think an EP before the first leg of the new tour and an EP before the presumed second (US?) leg of the tour would be awesome.

BF- Any hint on when we can expect the next new track?

I hope that the only reason it's not called "an album" is that they have too many new songs to call it an album. I wish it was a 'double'.

Great post. Two sides to every story. Like you said, new music from Charles/Joey/Dave and Kim with the Breeders sounds fantastic.

Do you think we want that?

I just want honest music in whatever form it comes out. You are not the same Pixies you were before. Please leave trying to sound like the past and just go with the flow.

We'd all probably like to hear something from what you recorded with Kim in Wales anyway, even if it's shite.



hi, pot (and everyone else!)

Just to clarify: mr. dubs has assisted me on several demos. On a demo for bagboy he sang some bv's (while I was on an errand), and when I came back there is the same exact vox track we are discussing. I did notice that it had sounded like k deal. and I liked it. I kept it. and when the rest of the band and gil norton heard it, they liked it, too, and, so, we kept it. there is no agenda here except to make cool rock music.

we are aware of certain opinions regarding the band and new music. generally, they fall into 3 camps:

1) keep your original sound intact.

2) please, ignore your old sound and develop a new sound.

3) stop making all music

we actually don't subscribe to either agenda 1 or 2 (agenda 3 seems ridiculous as we are all working musicians and probably always will be). we make music. if it sounds like "the pixies of 1989", so be it. that is our background. if it sounds "new", great! we like it when new things develop.


bf




Although I am not as excited about Bagboy as some other fans (yet, it is growing on me!), I agree with this absolutely. I'm personally glad they didn't try to make Motorway to Roswell 2 (or choose another Pixies fav here) but just made what they made and whatever it sounded like, great.

It is funny to hear all the controversy of a Pixies without Kim. Art evolves, changes, and there are plenty of bands that went on with new musicians to make great and varied music. That's not to say that Kim herself isn't an artist or that her part in the Pixies wasn't a very important thread in the tapestry, but now there are others and new music will be woven, and it will be what it is.

Why should three great musicians not work together because a fourth doesn't want to? Find someone else and carry on.

Anyway, it's nice to have some excitement around here after so long. I like how the forum is a self-sustaining news source that requires little effort on our part. This is how the site has evolved, the news comes from everywhere rather than just a few of us 'in the know'.

That said, it seems like time to get this podcast back together. Brian?

Speaking of Jeremy Dubs, Frank's friend who's doing the back-up vocals on "Bag Boy"...

In 2000, he sent me some Jeremy Dubs/The Bennies demo CDs. My favourite song was one called "Just A Thought". Last night I thought of that song when I read about Jeremy Dubs' contribution to the new Pixies material. So made this video for the song:

I don't even have a Facebook account yet her post found me. And I'm not allowed to have an opinion on it!



Should've thought twice before pasting her update here - never meant to cause any arguments. I just felt relieved to finally see something other than a passive attitude towards the reunion tensions. Violet has a tendency to be quite rash (and often snooty) on Facebook and her most recent update seems to acknowledge that. She feels stupid about taking "pot shots".

Anyway, I've been listening to 1991-era live recordings - particularly Gouge Away with the extended intro. Would love to see EDF reintroduced to the live sets.
