I have been looking around for an answer for some time now, but unfortunately I can't seem to figure it out. So I thought - why not ask the pros? So here it goes.
Where did the whole 'death to the pixies'/'the pixies must die'-thing/concept/slogan start? Who made it up? And why? And most important of all - what exactly does it mean?

Who knows?Not me...
The only thing I know about it is it was the slogan on an early poster for the pixies,the one with Franks thumb pointing down in place of his penis I believe..

I'd like to know as well. Perhaps it's just a bit of humorous self-deprecation. I wonder if it inspired the "We hate They Might Be Giants" banner in TMBG's John Henry liner pictures.

Heh. Yes. Probably just twisted humor. But it would be great if someone could say for sure.

Yes, one of the very first Pixies concert was a very naked, much thinner Charles holding his thumb down. This is from 86, I believe.

there is an old bootleg called "death to the pixies". i always thought that the best of tittle was a weird "tribute" or at least related to that boot, though i'm probably wrong.
