Totally.. Same here. Never saw the Pixies myself either..

He has done _alot_ of stuff. Some is vastly better then others. Its weird, his first three solo albums are the only ones that seem to get attention, but the first and third are kinda weak, in comparison with some of the later stuff. Aside from Teenager of the Year, I don't think Black really got his band's lineup right until Rich Gilbert wound up in the band. Teenager being the only studio done one.. The vast majority of Black's albums were recorded live to 2track. I'm pretty sure _all_ the Catholics albums were recorded live to 2track.. They are just that damn tight..

I'm going to be +pissed+ if this reunion doesn't wind up being really good. I want a tour, and album of new material.. At least.. _Then_ they can break up again, and I will not be pissed. But it better not suck.
