PIXIES ARE BACK!!!!!!

In the top 5 list of things that can make me squeal like a little girl, the Pixies rank roughly at number 2. (Probably after Zoey D. or The Beatles) For me, when the Pixies reunited back in '02, I cried like a little girl and nearly fainted like I was at a New Kids concert. But I assure you, it's all about the music and it's that good. The steady beats, complex lyrics, the fast and slow/ loud and soft dynamics that define and pave the way for the grunge sound, yet still retain that semi punk/indie rock feel. They are the most important indie rock band to ever grace the stage in the modern era of music. I truly believe that.

I can remember the first time... It was actually the Breeders that I was into first. And they only had one song that I really liked. But I loved Kim Deal's voice. When I learned of her involvement in the Pixies, it was game over. I was overcoming synth pop fever and dabbling into hardcore, and punk pop and even some hip hop due to its popularity at school circa '91-92, but I always wanted to be different. I found the Pixies, and it's be sonic ear love from that moment since.

I opened my email and got a message from the Pixies mailing list for their Lost Cities Tour. I saw that they will be playing in NAPA!!!! FREAKIN' WINE COUNTRY! 10 minutes away from my ghetto ass town Vallejo! That's freakin' awesome... I told my wife that the Pixies are gonna be in our neck of the woods... and she knew that we were going for sure. I wanna call up Joey and see if he wants to hang out! I'll offer my pad to Frank Black and co. You hear me Kim?!!! I'm only 15 minutes away! Show is November 20th. I'm there... To anyone out there in the internets, you're welcome to join me...
