Pixies Sellout
I saw the Pixies last night at the Aragon Ballroom. It was really surreal to see them play. Their legendary status has been built up so much in the last 10 years or so, it was hard to know what to expect. They have aged a bit, and Black Francis’ voice isn’t what it used to be. They still rocked the house, though. They played all their good stuff at least once, playing “Wave of Mutilation” and “Gigantic” twice. As they were leaving the stage Black Francis was saying good night to the rest of the band… “Good Night, Kim”, “Good Night Joe”, “Good Night, David”, Kim replied, “Good Night, Charles” referring to Black Francis’, aka Frank Black’s real name, Charles Thompson. Dunno why, but I found that rather amusing.
