I glanced at it but was too busy looking at that bulldog avatar.



I'd still get on my knees for you, Frank :)

He should feel like a shithead...and so should anybody who shells out the cash for either Box Set.

I'm sure he didn't have much control over the whole thing. I mean, it's coming out on a foreign record label that does a lot of reissues. He doesn't own the rights for the records so it's all out of his hands really.

the boxset (overpriced and all) is fucking beautiful!!! I want to have it in my bedroom while listening to velouria 5.1 and smoking some grass.

Hey Frank, bring the Pixies to Santiago!!:D

Thing is, while this box set clearly is utterly ridiculous, and far away from my actual buying considerations, if I was massively rich to the extent where I could just blow $495 on a box set of albums I already own, I'd totally buy it. It's stupid and unnecessary, but damn it's also pretty fucking beautiful...

Overpriced and absurd or not, a lushly packaged reissue of the Pixies back catalogue is still worth more to me than the vast majority of everything else that will come out this year.

There's still no way I'm wasting my decidedly non-ridiculous amount of spare cash on it though.

andrei 06.30.2009 07:37 AM

i'd buy it if i had the money. but i don't, so i won't :D
