I'M WITH THE BAND

Ryan at The Dead Parrot Society is a huge fan of The Pixies.

I didn't really follow the band. Didn't have a chance to, really, since I only found out about them a couple years ago and they've been broken up since 1992. But after listening to a couple friends gush about them, I poked around and found some of their stuff and have to say I really enjoy their mix of punk, surf music and hard rock. And I liked the song "Cannonball" that was done by former Pixie bassist Kim Deal in her subsequent band, The Breeders.

Anyway, The Pixies are out on tour again after regrouping. Ryan tried to get tickets when the band came to Spokane not too long ago, but was unsuccessful.

Then he went to Starbucks. His tale proves the maxim: It pays to say hello.

A side note: I've had a request for some Pixies music. I'll be posting it soon to Radio.Blog.

I saw the Pixies two weeks ago and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Well worth every penny I spent on the ticket.

The Pixies are also making instant CDs of their live shows. Go to the concert, then drop by the truck and pick up a live CD of the show you just saw.

A friend just sent me a copy of the Minneapolis show. Simply awesome.
