I'm actually mad at the GIS results for pixies tattoo 13. The only actual 13-emblazoned tits are on dudes. Um, guys?
― rustic italian flatbread, Thursday, 27 October 2011 17:25 (twelve years ago) link
are those MS-13 tattoos?
― ge0rge (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 27 October 2011 17:31 (twelve years ago) link
two things:
1) has anyone done a super extendo 20+ min jam of "i bleed"?! if so, please direct me to it. if not, get on it imm folks. 2) i had this random memory of my friends and i going up to random people (at the mall? i don't remember) and saying "chicken butt" to see if they got it. iirc it did not go well.
omg xp MS-13 tattoos scary GIS dnw

new pixies album has 2 good songs on it
― akm, Monday, 3 October 2016 23:02 (seven years ago) link
classic masher is a good song and a great title

Very doubtful.

And it’s lovely to hear a second Pixies album in a row that doesn’t contain the slur “whore”, a relief that they’ve carefully avoided the misogynistic tropes of their early work (although to wonder if they’ve grown out of this completely feels a bit optimistic, since they still play those early songs with no sense of responsibility for the lack of safety for women in a crowd of people singing along to “whore”-filled classics like ‘I’ve Been Tired’ and ‘Hey’)http://diymag.com/2016/09/30/pixies-head-carrier-album-review

5 songs in. i can't remember a single melody or song title.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 5 October 2016 17:41 (seven years ago) link
I haven't heard this yet, but surely it can't be that bad. Indie Cindy wasn't a great record but it had its moments.
kornrulez6969 OTM in general, though.
― pen pineapple apple pen (Turrican), Wednesday, 5 October 2016 18:02 (seven years ago) link
That review reads like a parody of whatever is going on with the kids and their safe spaces.

i like their whore songs. maybe whores are what is missing.
it's fine, there are a few songs here that are bad; but on the whole the worst thing it is is unmemorable. I like "head carrier' and 'um chagga lagga' or whatever it's called quite a bit. it does feel kind of unnecessary though. I don't know if I listened to indie cindy more than once.
― akm, Wednesday, 5 October 2016 21:45 (seven years ago) link
Luke Haines' review of Head Carrier is OTM, despite seemingly having not realised Indie Cindy existed.http://thetalkhouse.com/luke-haines-auteurs-blackbox-recorder-not-thrilled-heard-pixies-new-record/
― PaulTMA, Wednesday, 5 October 2016 22:19 (seven years ago) link
I found Head Carrier a but blah after first listen, but after a couple of weeks a strange thing happened: I now can't stop playing it
― PaulTMA, Wednesday, 5 October 2016 22:21 (seven years ago) link
I think Head Carrier is a really great name for a Pixies album! Still don't want to listen to it tho.
― orifex, Wednesday, 5 October 2016 23:51 (seven years ago) link
my 13 year old is upstairs in his room playing his guitar along with a Pixies CD right now. old Pixies. not new Pixies.
― scott seward, Thursday, 6 October 2016 01:05 (seven years ago) link
not one of the ones i liked, but i woke up this morning with "Talent" running through my head.
― mizzell, Thursday, 6 October 2016 12:25 (seven years ago) link
ugh that is one of the worst songs on the album. um chagga lagga is the one I keep getting stuck in my head and I only listened to it once
― akm, Thursday, 6 October 2016 13:10 (seven years ago) link
from the Luke Haines review: "her replacement — someone called Paz — does brilliantly. The excitingly named Paz seems to be a one-woman Kim Deal tribute act (this is a good thing). "
goddamnit luke do your homework. she might play like that here but she's an amazing bass player with a long history.
― akm, Thursday, 6 October 2016 13:12 (seven years ago) link
whore-filled classics!There are some very fundamental things about artistic expression that that reviewer does not understandI love PC music critics! Too bad they weren’t around hundreds of years ago to put a stop to all those nasty murder ballads still being sung today.
― Jazzbo, Thursday, 6 October 2016 13:32 (seven years ago) link
Looks like it may be a whore-filled classic after allhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCFPpnHFTtsNina Keen will be upset
― PaulTMA, Thursday, 6 October 2016 13:42 (seven years ago) link
Paz should shave her head and grow a little beard and mustache combo.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 6 October 2016 13:58 (seven years ago) link
she is a very attractive and talented woman. everyone should leave the pixies except for her
― akm, Thursday, 6 October 2016 23:42 (seven years ago) link
yeah she rules. saw her playing bass for RTX in a tiny club about 10 years ago and she was awesome. killer stage presence.
her performance on the new Pixies album is really pretty good. i like her duet w Frank on "Bel Esprit". and her helping write "All I Think About Now", a song about looking back on The Pixies, is cool.
but Albini's "bar band" comment has never been more appropriate. it's very generic.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 7 October 2016 16:25 (seven years ago) link
also i'm pretty sure they aren't singing "Um Chagga Lagga" but "Boom Shacka Lacka", a reference to Ali G
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 7 October 2016 16:26 (seven years ago) link
wow i've never read about zwan's dissolution before. the corgan quotes on the wiki page are pretty crazy.also didn't know that paz played on the first brighblack album.

haw, come on billy, this is just good clean fun: "Sex acts between band members in public. People carrying drugs across borders."
― tylerw, Friday, 7 October 2016 17:06 (seven years ago) link
There are a few duds on here, and the idea of having Kim Deal's replacement sing a song addressed to Kim Deal is beyond misguided, but by and large this album is better than I could have hoped. Plays like a slightly above average Frank Black solo LP; it's the best thing he's done since Svn Fngrs.
I like how cranky and peevish Frank Black sounds. He's at his best when he's not trying to be funny or weird, but when those qualities seem almost unintentional.

I agree!
― pen pineapple apple pen (Turrican), Sunday, 9 October 2016 13:03 (seven years ago) link
Aside from "Captain Pasty" and "Threshold Apprehension" I think Bluefinger sounded like a regular more recent Black Francis album.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 9 October 2016 14:15 (seven years ago) link
i agree bluefinger is really good but even better was the svn fngrs ep.

Pretty sure that McLusky and et al. took over for the Pixies in the smartest way. The Beatles also had followers who improved on them...
