Does anyone know...
1. It doesn't seem to be available on pixiesmusic.com anymore (not for a long time). The download page exists, but no download. Is this an oversight or intentional? Any guesses?
2. Was this ever made available anywhere as anything other than a 128kbps MP3 file? Higher bitrate? Dare I say... lossless?
Thanks.

the song was originally released exclusively on itunes. i can't remember the bitrate, but it was 128 or 192 or so.
the download that appeared later on pixiesmusic.com was 320 kbps mp3.
as far as i know, there is no lossless version of bam thwok available (yet).
it appeared on one compilation cd i know of, but it was sourced from the itunes download, and hence lossy.

I think it's rather a case of their free download thing attached to subscribing to their emails. The current download is Women of War. If you run through this
http://www.pixiesmusic.com/albums_post_type/bam-thwok/
you get a Pixies subscription confirmation email. In theory you'd get a Women of War link with it. I'll bet a buck something's broken in the code.

| perhaps it's best to simply leave this "song" in the dumpster of history where it belongs. |

some people require a lossless release though, for closure. only then can they leave it.

there's a musician called "caribou". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribou_%28musician%29
but i don't think he named himself after the pixies song.
if i had to name my band after a pixies song, i might go for the sad punk or the sad punks. i don't have a band though.

This guy dropped the "Mr.", apparently... http://www.grievesmusic.com/
I would go with "Hey" for my hypothetical band. Or "The Thing". |

| I would have chosen Trompe Le Monde, definitely. I think there was a French house / electro-rock band named like this for some time :\ |

| Rock Music wouldn't be bad itself, if only it wasn't so close to Roxy Music. |

I think I would go for Come On Pilgrim. Some Christian Rock fans may pop up at the gigs and this could be a good laugh. |

| Has enough time passed for Bam Thwok to be seen as a Pixies classic? |

Bam Thwok is the only song I've downloaded from iTunes. Had a free iTunes code from a cereal box. That is all.
"Our Love is Rice and Beans and Horses Lard" |
