the Pixies

[ghandi]

Sorry, although i have been checking in this week and occasionally posting i have just seen that the Pixies have disappeared from the rumours site completley, any news i have missed?

[fowls]

I guess it was due to the april fools joke

[Vieuphoria]

it's a shame.

and get their name right!

Not really. They only ever did one good song called Debaser on a very average album called Doolittle. The rest was just a fat talentless septic tank screaming shite lyrics over basic chord structures, overdriven to f**k to hide all the mistakes.

Ok but how come Frank Black solo was pants?

[ampersand]

It's the same with one of my other favourite bands, Idlewild - Roddy by himself - passable folk. Rod Jones latest solo album was pretty terrible. Put them all together - properly good songs with an added 'something' that you can't put your finger on.

Would the Beatles have been the same without Ringo's sub-par drumming? The Rolling Stones with a different singer? The Who without John? It's the same for all great bands.

[Vieuphoria]

The way that no Pixies side project (Breeders, Amps, Frank Black, Martinis) has come close to the actual Pixies kinds of goes towards showing my point - nobody could ever emulate the Pixies as they were about the four individuals in that band playing to each others strengths and weaknesses - put those four together and they're unstoppable. Remove just one from the equation and it all kind of falls apart.

no dissing The Breeders! Their two albums were so much better than Trompe Le Monde!

[fowls]

The Breeders albums are good, but live they're pretty horrific. Okay, Kelley Deal was learning to play guitar whilst being in the band in the early days. But 20 years on she still looks like she's been playing for 2 months.

I don't think it's insulting the Breeders to say they're not as good as the Pixies.

[OneLittleFish]

I like the Breeders, but they're no Pixies by some way.

Also, Trompe Le Monde is my second favourite Pixies album.

Love them both.

If I had to rate albums then probably: Surfer Rosa/Come On Pilgrim > Doolittle > Pod > Last Splash > Trompe Le Monde > Bossanova > Title TK > Mountain Battles

Had ATP birthday cake given to me by Kim Deal a few months back

thats really not a very funny april fools joke at all.

its basically just an annoying lie which makes me like a band i LOVE, just a little bit less for being unfunny nobs on this particluar occasion.

i suggest to make up for this misdemeanour, they play glasto to cheer me up
