Thanks very much, Fumanbru.
I actually had an idea for a fairly unique FBF-related long-form book a couple of years ago, but talked myself out of attempting it.
Maybe one day I will revisit that notion. However, I have zero interest in creating a commercially available document of that sort without the expressed blessing and input of Charles himself.
Part and parcel of any such effort would be my desire to craft something for posterity which he (and his close associates) could feel truly comfortable having attached -even indirectly- to his estimable body of work.
Hope this makes sense.

it would be great to have something worthy out there; it's a shame that the only bio of Frank at this point is that waste of paper by John Mendelsohn

Thanks very much for your kind and encouraging sentiments, Arm Arm Arm.

I like that slinky little punky little bit funky
itty bitty chunky right there
little bit lippy a whipped cream hippie
zip and unzippy and I want her
make some room
what goes boom?

i had forgotten about the aleceiffel.net website. awesome!
ALEC EIFFEL
"I thought it was important to speak about Gustave Alexandre Eiffel, as he is considered as the pioneer of aerodynamics. Fascinating subject" (BF)
"Because of Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, but also because it's funny: in the USA and in Australia, you often day 'It's a smart Alec' from a guy who's nice but not very bright." (BF)
" According to Charles, the song started with Eiffel, then he started to singing the words Eiffel, riffle, trifle, and suddenly 'everything fell into place'. It's not certain whether lines like 'little Eiffel stands in the archway, even though it doesn't make no sense' are an observation of the lunacy of the architecture or the song itself, which features a Sixties' -style zither! " (Melody Maker)

i just read this from the alexeiffel website and noticed "esperanto" referrenced back in the early pixies days.
"Songs like 'Bone Machine' or 'Break My Body' formed a kind of anatomical Esperanto, speaking in tongues to suggest a carnivorous lust." (Melody Maker)

So I was having breakfast with my family this morning and we had "Pie In The Sky" cranked!
So stomp your feet
And clap your hands
Get out of your seat
And do a little dance
Stomp your feet and clap your hands,
everybody ready for a Barnyard Dance

You're welcome, Peter.
The only Pixies book I've read is Fool The World, which I enjoyed. You've got a wide open field for a book on Frank's solo work and quite a wealth of topics. Regarding lyrics...
The other day at the potlatch, come visiting was a sasquatch
He said although I'm a mismatch, or could I stay just for a while?
'Cause the likes of us are few, yeah, and we still got nothing to do
I superabound, but I still got nothing to do

The only book my daughter liked better than Barnyard Dance was The Foot Book.
I cannot count the number of times I read The Foot Book.

I said, "I want to be a singer like lou reed."
"I like lou reed," she said, sticking her tongue in my ear.
"let's go, let's sit, let's talk, politics goes so good with beer.
"and while we're at it, baby, why don't you tell me one of your
Biggest fears?"
I said, "losing my penis to a whore with disease."
"just kidding," I said. "losing my life to a whore with disease."
She said, "excuse me, please?"
I said, "losing my life to a whore with disease."
She said, "please."
Well, I'm a humble guy with healthy desire
Don't give me no shit because
I've been tired
- Always liked the reference to Lou Reed in this song, when I first started listening to Pixies it gave them an added validation by namedropping another favourite of mine.
Great track and Im thrilled they are playing it live again with so much energy, kudos to Kim S on backing vox. |
