MP3: Pixies – Here Comes Your Man

Via ContactMusic: *PIXIES frontman FRANK BLACK has axed plans to record a new album with his cult rock group – because the squabbling that originally split the group has returned. Black reformed the group in 2004 for an extensive tour, but admits that after over two years on the road with his bandmates, he can’t commit to a return to the recording studio.

He says, “I don’t think that that Pixies record’s gonna happen. I mean I could be wrong, I don’t know. Just raffling the personalities all in to a recording studio is a problem, you know.”*

Pixies – Bam Thwok

Wiki explains: *”Bam Thwok” is a 2004 download-only single by the American alternative rock band Pixies. The song was written and sung by bassist Kim Deal, and released exclusively on the iTunes Music Store on 15 June 2004. Upon its release, “Bam Thwok” was a commercial success, debuting at #1 on an early version of the UK Download Chart. The song is the band’s first recording since 1991′s Trompe le Monde, and as of 2007 is their only original recording since their 2004 reunion.

“Bam Thwok” was originally composed for the children’s movie Shrek 2, but was not selected for the final soundtrack. The song’s lyrics display a surrealistic and nonsensical nature typical of the band; Deal’s inspiration was a discarded child’s art book she found on a New York City street. “Bam Thwok”‘s major theme is “showing goodwill to everyone.” However, it received a mixed fan reception, due in part to an organ solo that appears midway through the song.*

Three years after its initial release, what are your thoughts?
