Music: Cease to Resist

One of this Liquid Lister's favorite all time artists, Frank Black, has indicated in a British radio interview that the Pixies were considering a reunion.

May I just say how incredible such an event would be, personally. Return, if you will, to your Pixies collection and listen for yourself how much of the last ten years (and it has been ten years, my friends) have been affected and infected by the Pixies powerful, strained glory. Listen, please, to Surfer Rosa, and then flip over to, say, Nirvana's best. Then smack your own head, saying, "They ripped off the Pixies!"

You may repeat this process with nearly each alternative rock record that hasn't sucked for the last who knows how long. Yes.

The Pixies, if they were to re-form, would need a lot of help. When I caught a Frank Black show in Pittsburgh recently, opener and former Pixies drummer David Lovering indicated that Frank and Pixies guitar-man Joey Santiago had hung out (Joey has a baby and makes music for films). And David makes three, right?

Right. And in this interview, Frank admitted that they had re-formed and played together. The original lineup, Kim Deal, Frank, Joey and David. Playing together, low-pressure, having what sounds like an okay time of it.

Now the desperation: PLEASE RE-FORM AND MAKE A RECORD AND PLAY A TOUR AND SAVE US FROM SO MUCH MUSIC GARBAGE! PLEASE!

We now return to your regularly scheduled Liquid List.
