| Am I the only one who really Doesn't personally like that there's going to be a new Pixies album with new songs? I mean, Frank's entitled to do whatever he wants, but I'll be a bit sad about that they didn't end with Trompe. |

Tell you what, I promise not to come over to your house, tie you to the sofa, and force you to listen to it.
Why does it make you sad? I mean, if they make a record, and it sucks, okay. But why anticipate that outcome and get bummed in advance? It is most likely to be another great record. I mean, this is the Pixies we are talking about, isn't it? |

My big question after all of this...
Why is his brother Errol IV?
If Black Francis is Charles IV, wouldn't that imply that the father's name was Charles? How could it also be Errol, or can a name like that skip a generation and still have the roman numerals?
Or is Thompson IV the family name?
Help. Please. |

He told me he and Charles both had family names, so I guess it was after his uncle or another relative who's also called Errol

Maybe it was actually The Swimmer and this is just one big scheme to fool us...
But no, this is cool news, I hope they can pull it off! (As in the Pixies)

I guess there's a miniscule chance that they did new recordings back then...
I don't know. Any other details?

The man said about the b-sides albums:
quote:
We did consider putting them all into one package, but that seems A) too long and B) financially challenging. The good news is that I imagine that they'll be offered at special prices, although that is sorta out of my control. Man. I wonder what the labels are gonna say when I ask 'em to do another simultaneous release. They're gonna be pissed. At least the old band is getting back together and that'll give 'em a little something to take advantage of.
That last line:
At least the old band is getting back together and that'll give 'em a little something to take advantage of
The old band is the pixies
and 'taking advantage of'
what would that mean?
How the heck are Spinart and Cooking Vinyl
taking advantage of the reunion if there would only be Live shows?
They don't get any money for that
They don't get any money for 4ad related releases
So 'taking advantage of' means that they would release live material
from the tour on cd and/or DVD
cd: I guess Disclive sorta outruled that
DVD: good possibility, I bet that there will be one
so live is not the way to take advantage
so either old unreleased pixies stuff (like the purple tape they released 2 years ago) or new pixies stuff (new album)
Now we all know about 'Frank Black Francis', but some new versions and some demos will not do the trick, I think.
It is way more reasonable if 'taking advantage of' means
publishing/releasing a whole new pixies record.
They could really take advantage of that
It would obviously sell more than anything on those labels

As for the big report, I'm sure Mr. Chickenwithtwoheads is a great guy and I do believe he's telling the truth about what he's heard, but I'm taking a won't-believe-it-until-I-hear-it-officially position on the new Pixies songs. There's all kindsa room for wires to have gotten crossed between Mr. Chicken and Mr. Errol here.
Still it's a fun thought. If true, Frank's position here almost reminds me a little of when Kristin Hersh put out a new solo album and a new Throwing Muses album at the same time. |

When Frank said "taking advantage" he wasn't hinting at a new Pixies record. He was referring to the b-sides comps. and the possibility of the Pixies reunion hubub trickling down into increased sales of his solo/Catholics records.
I'm certain you knew that, but your post made it seem like you didn't. I wouldn't insult you (I only insult Sonic Youth on this board). I just thought it was funny.
Anyway, new Pixies... Frank's interest in live studio recording and Kim Deal's interest in that All-Wave thing compliment each other well (should they choose do either, that is). If they do make a new record, I hope they bang the whole thing out in, like, 6 days. |

ya think? i get such a pro-pixies vibe on fb.net, which is great. i cannot wait for late november too see them...seems like i have to wait forever. but it would just so totally bum me out if the catholics were no more.
by the way, do you know how i can fix this annoying code at my signature. all i want is for the cor icon to show up and instead i get all the code.
 This is where your text goes
EDIT:
I took out the spaces from your signature. If you want to see how it's supposed to look, just edit your own post and you'll see. Also, you had the "icon_cof.gif" surrounded by square brackets ([icon_cof.gif]) which won't work. If you don't want text, remove everything starting from the [ i] to the [ /i] (which are just tags to make the text italic). |

Take out the spaces deary.
I think you'll find most people here would be just as excited at the prospect of a new Catholics tour/album as the Pixies. I spose the Pixies had such a legacy, and this is the first time alot of people will get to see them and stuff...
I'm pretty sure the majority response would be a general 'DOH!' if the Catholics were never to reform... In fact, I might even go so far as to say that most would prefer the Catholics to be FB's long term project now, rather than the Pixies.

Or, it could be like the "joke" that started the reunion. Maybe, Charles decided to have his brother Errol (on an anonymous train to Amsterdam through a single fan who would be unwittingly 'placed' there to recieve the news) JOKE about a new album. Then after Errol jokes about the album, and the single fan leaks it to FB.NET, he will realize how excited it makes everybody. Finally, he decides, "Why not?"
Is that how it goes?
Anyway, if this news is true I will be at the music store the day of the release. I will buy 10 copies and give one to every halfway-cool music fan I know.

Have we ever had a public unmasking (ala the author of "Primary Colors") of who in god's name first leaked the GOOD NEWS to MTV (of all people) last fall? Did MTV ever give up their source?
What are the chances it was Errol Himself, in the position of the Official Thompson Family Leaker? Maybe this guy is THEE source for breaking news. If so we should distribute pictures of him on the 'Rum so that we can accost him with $100 "memory" bills at train stations and bus depots around the world.
