Guest analogue wings Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Pixies are playing the Vector Arena Auckland on March 12th. The gimmick is they are playing all of Doolittle plus all its bsides to celebrate the 20th anniversary (they fail at maths clearly). 16 years too late for me, but I'll probably go anyway. It's fucking Bossanova's 20th anniversary next year not Doolittles' - PLAY THAT ONE INSTEAD ITS YOUR REAL BEST ALBUM. FUCK THIS BORING DOOLITTLE ORTHODOXY Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48618-nz-pixies/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretstik Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I've seen them a few times over the past few years, and they took the piss much less than when I saw them in Manchester around May '89, when they were a little slack to say the least. On 9/2/2009 at 11:18 PM, LUDD said: surfer rosa is their best album Fuck, yes. And fuck Bossanova, 5 tracks out of 14 (albeit amazing ones, i.e. Ana) worth paying serious attention to does not make a great album. Trompe Le Monde wanks all over it, as do the b-sides from the Doolittle singles. What Bossanova track stands up to Into The White? I'm old, I know this shit.

The drums sound well ace on The Thing.

Guest analogue wings Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Yes, Trompe Le Monde is also better than Doolittle Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48618-nz-pixies/#findComment-1115380 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rabid Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Mmm Pixies. My absolute favorite band as a teenager. They're still the only rock band that I really enjoy, though I only listen to them when working out now.
