Anybody a PIXIES fan?

[havalina]

Prompted by the repeat showing of their acoustic show on sky, made me watch the DVD which I think was filmed in 1989 or summat, marvelous anyway. Love the Pixies so much, they make me do dancing when drunk, which isn't really a good thing

Are you from Sheffield then rant?

No, Pulp were supporting a lot of bands in '90 91 and Jarvis attended quite a lot of gigs with Terry Bickers (who used to be in the house of love).
We got chatting at a gig at the Town and Country (in Kentish Town)one night and shared a few beers, nice chap. Was quite pleased when they 'made it' a few years later.

I loved the House of Love, the album was literally never off the turntable for some considerable time. Going to put it on now actually - I love threads like this.

Been playing the Wedding Present for the last 20 mins as this reminded me of them too!

Does anyone else remember the World of Twist?

The World of Twist, did they do The Storm, if so then yes, I remember them

oooh yes loved the world of twist. Storm was a long dancey one. They also did a cover of She's like a rainbow.

Can i throw another name into the mix - new fast automatic daffodils. another great live band that we would try to catch every time.

oh crumbs so many bands on here that i used to love. husker du and sugar and bob mould stuff was all amazing. it makes me want to get my vinyl out of the loft and give it a stroke...
how about...neds atomic dustbin, the railway children, pop will eat itself. i was a bit fierce though and a big new model army fan.

Yes! and She's a rainbow, which I'm sure I heard a cover of on an advert the other day....

Also, while we're on the subject there's an ad for an album on tv at the moment which I am convinced is a cover of The Cocteau Twins Blue Bell Knoll in English - some chap with a single in the charts at the moment, forget his name, quite good though..

Saw them in Cardiff adad, were awesome..

had forgotten they existed as well!

Yes, love the newfads, never saw them live tho, or if I did, I was too drunk to remember!

NEw Fads! how funny.. its all john peel related isnt it.

loved the poppies, they used to come on to the lunatics have taken over the asylum

I loved The Cocteau's, never saw them either but, still play Treasure quite a lot.

saw the poppies about 2 years ago at RockCity in Nottingham, was so funny as Clint had to sit down half way through for a 'rest' - they were still fab but older and fatter, like my good self!

im guessing we are all about 35...

still came on to that too sea!

Moopymoo, I used to listen avidly to John Peel on a Friday night as a teenager. About the time he had a thing for, was it Extreme Noise Terror?

are they back together again? last time i saw them was in the early 90s. love to see them again.

Moopymoo, you are good!

oh yes extreme noise terror and napalm death. i thought that was the height of cool. pretty unlistenable now i find ! did you buy the NME or Melody Maker? i wanted to be Julie Birchill. not so sure now though...

Yes, used to buy both, just so I didn't miss anything!

i've seen the cocteau twins live in manchester, they were really good.

and moopy, close, i'm 37

latest news

seems they won't be back, 5 days only in 05 but there is a spin off with other 3, unfortunately not Clint and Rich...

Do you think we all knew each other in a former life then??

Still waiting to hear from someone who frequented the Square Club...

lol moopymoo - i just turned 36
