brothers in arms for one thing. great album. you cant relay my question back to me. thats the sign of a weak argument.

It`s not my arguement , you started it by mentioning Husker Du

fair enough. im just not that much of a fan. cant agree on everything.

LedZepStu, I never got into the Dire Straights either. I do like Husker Du though, it's just that old diversity of taste chestnut.... again.

couldnt agree more.

True Story

A few years ago I went to a family gathering & afterwards the whole family decided to go to a nightclub.

My Dad being new to clubbing decided he didn`t like the music & went up to the DJ & askied him to play Sultans Of Swing.

About an hour later he left in a sulk because he didn`t play it.

haha. similiar anecdote, my dad got into a punch up for requesting "radio ga ga" in a london nightclub.

Maybe he should have gone to a gay club;)

well, hes got the tash.

is that a brittish thing, cause I have no Fing idea what that is.

You know someday im going to post all my fav brittish band lyrics that I don't full understand. Hopefully one fo you can translate for me.

I'm way ahead of you.
Wtf does this mean???

1. What a divvy what a ****ing div
Talking like a moron, walking like a spiv.

2. I’m a lazy sod I’m a lazy sod
I’m a lazy sod I’m so lazy

3. They called us foul-mothed yobs

4. ’cos we didn’t give a toss
Filthy lucre, ain’t nothing new

5. All those c*nts that slagged us off
Are just a bunch of ****ing twats.

A 'tash is a moustache, like freddie mercury had....

Ah, I see, now on to snickers stuff.

I'm way ahead of you = I've already thought of what you said but i've got a better idea

1. What a divvy what a ****ing div
Talking like a moron, walking like a spiv.
Divvy, div, moron = Idiot, stupid person
Spiv, spastic = Someone with a condition like down syndrome

2. I’m a lazy sod I’m a lazy sod
I’m a lazy sod I’m so lazy
Sod = derogatory slang to say to a man/boy

3. They called us foul-mothed yobs
Yob = trouble maker

4. ’cos we didn’t give a toss
Filthy lucre, ain’t nothing new

’cos we didn’t give a toss = because we did'nt care
'toss = male act of masturbation, you can also call a bloke a tosser
(Its similar to wank = male act of masturbation, you can also call a bloke a wanker)

5. All those c*nts that slagged us off
Are just a bunch of f***ing twats.

slagging off = Talkin s**t about people (esp behind their backs) same as
mouthing off but more offencive.
Twat = A womans privates (same as c**t, but not as strong)

^Those are about right

On this side of the pond Tw*t is waaaay worse than c*nt

what?

Well over here in Detroit if I can play out the two scenarios in my head and I bet this is how they would go.

#1
Me (walking up to a girl I don't know): You're such a ****ing twat sometimes.
Her: I'm not stupid!

#2
Me: You're such a f*cking c*nt sometimes
Her: Don't fu*king call me that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

c*nt is way worse dude.

C**t is way worse than twat.

What do you mean, "What?" lol

Songs.
1. What A Waster- The Libertines
2. Seventeen- The Sex Pistols
3&4. Great Rock N' Roll Swindle- The Sex Pistols
5. Never Sell Out- The Exploited

I didn't know what you meant by "what" lol.

If I ever called a T*at she wouldn't assume I meant she was stupid. I'd probably get blugened unconcious. Cu*t still isn't cool, but its more common place than dropping the t-bomb.

And yes im overly pleased with this being the topic.

Yeah, how does this all relate to The Pixies exactly?

Oh Satchmo, reason and logic are so yesterday. Please stick to the format of constant digression, thats the way the Pixies would have wanted it. I've met Kim Deal before, being in Boston and what not. She told me, "digression is beautiful poetry."

:)

erm, yeah, the pixies, erm, already said it but oh well. Got one of the best's of albums. It's really good, I like nearly every song on it (I'm sure there only one I don't like). Gonna get round to buying the back catologue as soon as I can but theirs some other old albums that I wanna get as well.

thanks for ruining the digression dude, thanks alot.

Digress away with your beautiful poetry, I'm not here to stop you. Lets all do it. You first though......

Yes the Pixies i must say are the best band since the Beatles!!! harharhar!:)

The Pixies are an awesome band, and Kim Deal is my hero. Well, one of them. I have their Greatest Hits album, titled after their song, Wave of Mutilation. I haven't seen Fight Club, but I heard "Where is My Mind?" is on it, so that gives automatic brownie points for me.

Another song no one has mentioned here that I like is "Caribou"

Cariboouuuuu! Cariboooo-hoooo!

NME:

"Reformed alt-rock legends PIXIES are planning to record their first album in 14 years.

The band’s frontman Black Francis has confirmed the band, who got back together last year to huge acclaim, are preparing to make their first studio album since 1991’s ’Trompe Le Monde’."

oo

Oh dear :(

The Pixies are my favourite band definatly. The best albums are doolittle and sufa rosa in my view. "here comes your man" is just a classic after the first time I heard it.

I frickin' love the Pixies. My favorite songs are Hey, Monkey Gone to Heaven, and Debaser. Bone Machine is good too.

Yes the Pixies. One of the most refreshing bands I had ever heard when I first discovered them many years ago. Aged on me like a fine wine.

I worry about this new album. What do people think of this prospect? Will it be any good? Speak up if you've seen them in the past year! I'm going to check them out in August to see if they're still up to standard. Fingers (and toes) crossed!

they shud have just left it @ trompe le monde imo

If Frank Black has any brains he will let at let Kim Deal write at least some of the songs for the new album.
Tame, Something Against You, Gouge Away and In Heaven (Lady In The Radiator Song) are my favourites.

I saw 'em in Minneapolis last November, and I was stuck between the biggest indie-rock geek I've ever seen (I'm pretty sure I saw him again at Modest Mouse in February), and two or three girls who looked to be about twelve (one of them had an Early November shirt), and who most likely attended the show because they heard "Where Is My Mind" at the end of Fight Club.

I enjoyed watching said geek trying to steal the girls' front-row standing positions almost as much as I enjoyed watching the show.


I'm pretty sure Kim Deal was on quaaludes, because through the entire show she stared off into space, and had the biggest smile on her face that I've ever seen anyone have. Or maybe she was just as excited as the indie-rock world to hear the Pixies were re-uniting.

I'm not sure but is Kim Deal's voice still as purdy as it was when she sang Gigantic? Or did she ruin it with cigarettes? Cause i gotta say, that's one of the nicest singing voices I've ever heard.

Oh yeah, she smoked a lot of cigarettes, too.

And it was before I started smoking, so I didn't even get to enjoy it on that level....

"Complaining Even Though I Saw The Freakin' Pixies Live"

Lifetime fan here. Doolittle being in my top 5 albums ever.

This year though seeing them in two weeks at Lowlands Festi (holland) and then at Reading Festi on Fri. 60 F'ing quid for a day ticket just to see the Pixies... i need help.

I absolutely love this group.
