I disagree.

I saw Frank Black twice last year, at both shows he did several Pixies songs. All totally awesome.. Better then any past bootlegs I've heard. Gouge Away, Wave of Mutilation, etc.. All the classics. Black is ready for it..

Argh.. I will never understand it. Whenever the Pixies come up, the first band mentioned after is The Breeders. Rock n' Roll dies a little more every time this happens.

I'd be way more worried about Joey Santiago not showing up to a Pixies reunion then Deal..

You see, the Breeders seemed to get a lot of attention, because they have two Kim Deal's, errr, the Deal twins.. Whereas, Frank Black, the guy who wrote and sang, almost all the Pixies songs, is a big fat bald white guy.

FB has been producing very solid material, non-stop, since the Pixies broke up.. The Breeders is _not_ where the lions share of the song writing talent in that band went.

There have been what? Two or Three Breeders albums? As compared to 10+ out of Black.. Hell, he has released 3 full length albums of material in the past _YEAR_. Way more prolific.

This is going to be good.. I'm excited about this. You can be all anti-RIAA, and thats cool. I'm down with that too.. I have often cited the lack of success FB has received as reason to destroy the whole damn system. I see this is as a win for my side. The Pixies are back. Hooray!
