what do you think of the pixies?

They were f*ckin brilliant at Move a few years back.
Done some absolute stonkers, and a load of rubbish too.
"Where is my mind" on the closing scene of Fight Club was quality 
Although I probably prefer Frank Black's 'Teenager of the Year' to any Pixies album.

if you don't like it, you can always w**k over it.
A bit like New Order really. Some great tracks, but some real duffers as well. Always refused to play ball with the media as well, had internal wranglings, then realised they loved what they did so got back together.

looking good.
Doolittle is a solid album, Surfer Rosa is alright as well. Got a poster of the album cover of Surfer Rosa after seeing them at Ally Pally. T'was an ok gig but they don't like talking to the audience much. 
they are gods.a mixed bag for sure but the good tracks are REALLY GOOD.
saw them at t in park 2004 and it was one of the best live performances ive ever seen.they also looked like they were really enjoying it. i have dolittle and best of pixies

perfect tits are always a unique selling point. haha
Great. I can be the first anal twat to say it's not 'The Pixies', it's just Pixies! The title of this thread suggests otherwise.
See also: Doves, Editors, etc.
Pixies really know how to raaaack out. Likes of Tame and Debaser are classics.

Was it the same Move Festival as New Order and the Bunnymen? In which case i saw them. In which case I must have been wrecked cos i can't remember.

Dont think so
Stereophonics were headlining. Everyone f*cked off after the Pixies (small 't' in 'the' Al & Liam 
)
Unless the Bunnymen were on earlier.
What am I on about, nah defo not the same one as New Order, were the Bunnymen playing earlier that say then? I'm confused now.

Yeah, New Order were headlining, the Doves were on and Shaun Ryder's then band were supposed to be on but surprisingly Shaun Ryder got f*cked and couldn't do it so the Bunnymen stepped in at the last minute - i was buzzing about that!
I remember now, didnt get there until Doves.
and if it was you that got half a pint of beer over your head, I'm sorry 
I didnt fuck off after pixies. I thought phonics were brilliant. Kelly Jones didnt say a word! Fantastic.

If that was me BA, you would only be communicating via Derek Acorah

I'd just tell Sam to tell Derek to tip a pint over you.
Derek does everything Sam tells him
But the living cant get to Sam, he's untouchable :p
i didn't get into them until after i moved away from boston--probably missing lots of good shows. excellent band, although the only album i have is doolittle and i also have death to the pixies. i've just downloaded everything else.
Should have added earlier, when I was trying to be funny, that they do, as Jack says, indeed rule... And Surfer Rosa is the place to start... Where Is My Mind?

Only New Order can touch the quality of these tunes.
Also their immediate 'rock family tree' is worth looking into. Top stuff
