Love that they went with two new songs, and didn't play one of the oldies as the second song. Sticking by the new body of work. Great to see it.
Also great to see FB with such enthusiasm. I don't know why, but seeing him in that Bagboy performance just makes me grin.
Bagboy is not a perfect song as a single, it does drag a bit. But I love it anyway. |

I hate to be that guy, but Kim is lovely.

Definitely out of tune on Indie - I couldn't watch it as I'm a bit of a Tuning Nazi. As for the smash, I'm pretty sure that was a total accident and he just Eric Clapton'd his SG ( see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6buUcD1qHQ ) and he couldn't save it, so he kind of played it off. He was just trying to turn it out and look cool - obviously wasn't using locking straps.

Oh man, there is such a fundamental difference between calculated, compositional dissonance and a couple out of tune strings ringing through an intended major chord that it really doesn't warrant an explanation.

I was mildly disappointed that Kim didn't bring her growl-y voice with her on Bagboy, but she did a good job nonetheless. Actually, Indie Candy (heh) didn't sound so bad live, coming across a bit like a Teenager of the Year b-side.
Joey has been out of tune on so much live Pixies stuff...it's kinda endearing |

thank you! that performance was amazing. the "cover your breath" bits seem unnatural, but the rest is subbacultcha meets gouge away meets so hard to make things out.

I really wish they would have limited the "cover your breath" stuff to a few times. It's too damned much, and sounds kinda lame live. The rest of the song works. |

You don't know what out of tune means until you've seen Guitar Wolf live.
Who cares, I like out of tune songs.

Can someone please put the Indie Cindy video on YouTube ?
You can't watch the video on the Jimmy Fallon website outside the US. |

I've seen IC couple of times now and it gets more worse every time. I'm no expert but to me it seems that Frank really gets distracted by his own guitar.

I live in the UK and I could watch the Indie Cindy vid..
I agree the out of tune guitars spoiled it a bit but most of all it always sounds a bit empty to me live.. It definitely works better with Frank on electric guitar though. |

You are a man after my own heart Johnny. Nicely answered.
Have you ever tried tuning with the fibonacci numbers \ pre nazi tuning?
kinda kooky theory, but it definitely sounds ore pleasing to my ears. I would love to speak with someone who has perfect pitch to see. Maybe Paul MCartney posts on here occasionally.

Was great to hear Charles' trademark squeaking, pig-stuck-squealing Pixies guitar on a new song. That was the highlight for me.
So did anyone else "imdb" Joey?
