Certainly it's a new photo (looks like Coachella) on the front.

The website has up the results of their song vote....

haha, that's pretty cool, you can see the cover now on their site...

"THE PIXIES - How the greatest band in the world influenced everyone you love. And why Wayne Coyne thinks Kim Deal shouldn't have given up the drugs."

although it means i'll have to buy the shit-rag for the first time in a couple of years... going against all my principals... but hey, it's got pixies in!

Have just read the article, and it's pretty much as you'd expect; Coachella report, how the band seem more relevant today than they did back then, bunch of contemporary musos going on about how fantastic they were/are, etc.....

So, nothing new, but four pages worth of them in the UK's primary music publication? ....not complaining.

The top ten list could've just as easily made up by any hack who thinks 'bossanova' and 'trompe' are the 'weaker' albums.

Lol, I voted all the same.

Still, nice to see a lot of coverage.

The main article appeared to me to be a complete load of arse. Like they wanted to fill 4 pages with Pixies stuff so mugs like me would buy it. They've just reprinted articles I read 13 years ago and got a few musos to give obvious opinions - "I like the Pixies" for example. And as for Frank Black's lyrics predicting the future?!? Gutted I spent £1.80 on this bollocks. And I'm sure the last time I bought the NME it was 60p. Rant over.

Me too. What is wrong with the writers at the NME nowadays? It made me laugh how a few weeks ago they were kissing Morrissey's arse, and then in the Pixies article today they've gone quite off him.

Something like "below-par morrissey" - "average new album" etc....

Yeah they are very two-faced, although it depends on who writes each particular article.

I just buy it to hear about new bands. They are always the first to break them.

Thought the main article was bilge, but quite liked the reprinted article which I haven't seen before. Frank talks about taking acid and visiting Elvis's home - which correct me if I'm wrong - was the inspiration for His Kingly Cave on Devils Workshop, so that was kind of cool.

If I hear one more journalist referring to "failed solo careers" so help me I'll scream

I think it's awful. I can understand that one writer is different from the next, but slagging someone off after the same magazine licks their rear is just stupid, which sums up the NME nicely, or the people behind it at the moment at least.

They do break quite a few bands don't they? I was nicely surprised to see 'TV on the Radio' having a double page spread in this week's issue. The only problem is the ticket prices seem to double when NME starts recommending bands.

This might want to be mentioned next week as well, but the glossy pull outs in next week's NME are Pixies artwork. This really fuck me off, I've been getting the NME more than usual because of their dribbling of Pixies articles. They did the same with all the Morrissey stuff. It's such an annoying marketing ploy!

Fittest rock stars - the White Stripes !?!?!? - You're right, people do have strange tastes. Maybe it is a reflection on the normal readership of the NME - people who don't get out to often!

Think its a special on Pixies cover art - hopefully V23 talking about each cover - should be fairly interesting

I hate the NME with a passion but i bought it anyway.
I always feel dirty and let down when i lower myself in this way so i'm going to start stealing it if theres a band i like in it.

I agree with whoever said that the NME are two faced, its the most annoying thing about them. This new morrissey worship is a good example. They'll hate him again this time next year.

I remember when Limp Bizet (sp?) were popular, the NME couldn't get enough, and did you read that PJ Harvey review in this weeks issue? The fucking bastards, they're not fit even speak her name!

Can you imagine, Limp Bizet? Like a hobbling Carmen or something.

I have to go with Gracie here, I felt dirty but I bought it anyway.

What happened to the NME? During the second half of the 80's I used to read the NME/ Melody Maker whenever I could get my hands on a copy imported from the UK. It was a good source of info on music worth listening to. This is where I learnt of the Pixies and I thought it was a pretty good publication back then. Maybe it has been crap all along?
