Oh, it seemed like it might have been. What was he talking about? We should probably ask.

Re: Pixies
To provide more context for my response—Strat mentioned MAGA people being psychopaths, and I thought… oh, he must be talking about the Satanic pedophile cabal thing. Seemed like a reasonable connection to make. But maybe we could get him to confirm.

Sorry that I assisted in steering this thread into areas better discussed elsewhere (or possibly nowhere).
The old Pixies records are really something.

Re: Pixies
Derailing aside… I love the first four albums, but I never listened to the reuinion albums.. I was afraid they wouldn’t measure up. Are they worth checking out? I just have so much nostalgia for the originals, and I don’t want to ruin it.

I don't think they'll ruin anything for you, but no, I don't think they're nearly as good as the original records.Vitalogist wrote:I never listened to the reuinion albums..

Re: Pixies
Indie Cindy and Beneath the Eyrie both have a bunch of great songs. Give them a try.

Re: Pixies
The Real Ramona is the most accessible album from their classic period; it's the last album Tanya participated in before she left to co-found The Breeders with Kim Deal. But I think you'd appreciate the weirdness of their earlier records more. Try their self-titled debutBirds in Hell wrote:No, a total blind spot for me.Jorge wrote:Hey Spenno, you ever get into Throwing Muses?

Re: Pixies
These guys have a new single. I like the song enough. Like the guitars and the vibe even if it’s a very straightforward rock song.

Re: Pixies
You're So Impatient is aight. Would've benefitted greatly by some Paz backing vox
The new chick sounds great on Que Sera Sera, though. But I'm still kinda bummed about how things turned out.

Re: Pixies
I'm enjoying this a lot more than the last. Emma sounds great on backing vox, which was my biggest concern initially. The queen is dead, long live the queen?

Re: Pixies
yeah, i like the background vocals a lot. They nailed the replacements really, i mean Paz was great and it seems this new one is also spot on.
