| My first Pixies album and my favorite! Not much Kim but no big Deal... har har. Though when her vocals do show up it is wonderful. |

Trompe Le Monde is probably my favourite Pixies album (side-to-side with Bossa). Epic ride.
The Sad Punk = greatest song ever. Trompe Le Monde (the song) is such an ufo in the Pixies catalog (and in rock'n roll in general). And all the rest is epic.
I wonder why they stopped playing Trompe Le Monde (the song). Maybe it's not working with only 2guitars/1bass/drums...?

Trompe le Monde, the song, IS Pixies for me.
2 minutes that changed the direction of my life...
An alien abduction, a cosmic rapture.
Dammit...

| The title track had showed up on Myles Mangino's lighting chart for this tour. Would be brilliant if it made a reappearance. |

Yeah, I remember. Maybe it didn't work at rehearsals ?

Trompe (the song) and Sad Punk both blew me away
Quintessential adult Pixies (vs. hispanic-manic-biblic-scream-rock, which was more a process)

Before I clicked on the link I wondered if it would go to this performance. I love this version of Trompe, though I would've preferred Dave on drums. I really love Paul Schaffer's solo. |

I've always loved this album so much, but we all see quotes from critics/bloggers/whoever that say, "Pixies, with their near-perfect discog--save maybe 1991's 'Trompe Le Monde'..."
I've never quite understood all the negativity around it... I can put it on repeat for maybe 18 hours or so and be very happy. Can someone explain it to me? Anyone here "skip" this one... I can't understand it and am really just looking for an explanation. |

| Nice Letterman vid. Disagree with u Arm re: Paul Schaefer. Great musician (TECHNICALLY)But, whenever there's a band on the show and he becomes part of the song to me he always fucks it up! haha Just imho. to me, he always ruins the vibe of the band he's "assisting"; he got chops/doesn't have soul. Did same thing when Pixies did Letterman in 2004 with "Monkey....." hehe |

Hey picpic, good version of Trompe that one! Who's the fifth Pixie? Joey's relative?

Oh, what a wonderful period. No digital cameras, serious people behind the mix table, inventive interviews... etc etc....
Trompe Le Monde, is similar to Alison and to larger extent to Wave of Mutilation if we had to put songs in boxes. But we don't have to, n'est-ce pas?
At the end of the documentary you can hear the beginning of the Eno/Byrne song "Mea Culpa"

| I love this album and so does my gf. Only thing that maybe tops it is the first Throwing Muses album. |

I never noticed that about him but I've not watched much Letterman. I think he brought something new to the song, same with the short Joeyesque solo by the guitarist.
I love when Pixies mess around with their songs on stage. |

Arm, regarding your loving when the Pixies mess around with their songs on stage. (I know I'm a concert-going fanatic, but)...I saw the Pixies 17 times between Dec, 2004 and Oct,2005. And, at the end of "Monkey...", they'd goof around with the last line, which cracked me up. Can't remember the exact words but they'd sing, like, "This monkey knows it's leaven" or "This monkey's born in Yemen" or.... I thought that was so cool OR that they were so sick of singing it every note that they broke up the monotony. haha
