Seriously, if FB would have kept the 'Pixies' name and put those first two records out, they would be held in much higher regard. Hell, I remember being skeptical of those records when they came out. I didn't buy either of the first two until TotY came out and some of my friends were raving about it.

I"m still not a big fan of Frank's first solo release. At the time, I was much more into Kim Deal's stuff with the Breeders. Last Splash was a favorite of mine in college.

Me too, and I absolutely loved Pod. After revisiting that first FB album last week, I feel I grossly underestimated it. I think it's at leas as good as Trompe Le Monde and I like it better than Bossanova, which is still my least favorite Pixies album.

I've recently picked up a couple more of Frank's solo stuff, including Frank Black and Bluefinger. Both of them are quite good. I'm more and more impressed with Charles everytime I hear one of his albums. I'm totally unfamiliar with Frank's work with The Catholics. Where's a good place to start? Dog in the Sand?


I had a stick of CareFree gum, but it didn't work. I felt pretty good while I was blowing that bubble, but as soon as the gum lost its flavor I was back to pondering my mortality.
