New Pixies

Count Mecha · 05.10.2011, 05:54 AM

Surprised no one has mentioned the news that new Pixies material could be on the way.

Granted it could just end up just being wishful thinking, given how those guys are. But the prospect of hearing any new Pixies would be pretty interesting.

A quote from Frank would've gone a long way toward convincing me this is real.

yeah it's hard to get excited about something so tentative. Especially since the rumor has floated around for years.

Pookie · 05.10.2011, 04:11 PM

Nobody's mentioned it because the Pixies are fucking shit

SHIT I SAY

SHIT

SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Derek · 05.10.2011, 04:19 PM

New material would just sound like subpar Frank Black songs, it won't have the flair of their early days. Next.

I stand aghast at your flippant mockery, you currish malcontent.

I am glad i got to see the pixies live.

Pax Americana · 05.10.2011, 05:59 PM

I just saw 'em live, and they were fantastic. They might be more tight as a live outfit now then when they were together originally. That said, I'm not sure how new Pixies material would be. Frank's recent output both solo and with the Catholics wasn't anything special and I thought Kim's last album with the Breeders was pretty much awful. I'm almost afraid they'll record something new, I'll end up hating it, and then it'll ruin the Pixies legacy in my mind. The Weirdness, anyone???

SonikJesus · 05.11.2011, 06:24 AM

i dunno...

Jeremy · 05.11.2011, 09:55 PM

They've all been hinting at it for so long, it's hard not to take it with several million grains of salt.

I don't think we'll ever get new Pixies material and I think it's for the best. I think all of them realize to an extent, it's just a matter of some of them actually accepting it, you know?

theyve been taking the $$$$ for about 8 years, its about time they at least offered the conciet of "new material", they were as good as it got in their original incarnation but this length of a reuinion was taking the piss

my thoughts precisely.

i don't think they'll record a new one, though. i can't imagine any of them would be interested.

Count Mecha · 05.12.2011, 08:39 AM

All practical points, and I agree with most. I didn't know it was a rumor that had floated around for a while. I always figured the band as a whole was clear that there wouldn't be anything new. I recall some Kim interview where she seems pretty staunch that there would be no album.

In any case, it's likely not a good idea but hell, I'd still listen to it.

noisereductions · 05.12.2011, 08:54 AM

remember that shitty song they did release though? "Bang Thwomp" or something?

Count Mecha · 05.12.2011, 11:39 AM

I don't think anyone's going to approach it with that mindset.

i think the pixies themselves realise it's going to be shit. but they also realise that other people don't realise it's going to be shit. and therefore also realise that they will get a lot of money.

you need to spend blahblahblah

There were rumors he was into field hockey players ...

atsonicpark · 05.13.2011, 06:16 PM

Black and Deal have written like 5 good songs between them in the past 20 years. The 2 (yes, there are two -- though one is a cover -- and the other is BAM THWOK, the worst Pixies song ever) "new" Pixies songs released since they got back together are HORRIBLE. This would suck...
