A remix of Bossanova dropped earlier this month.
Been a minute since I listened to this.
No time like the present! 🎵

I have pretty much replicated #ThePixies - 'Death To The Pixies' #album in #Audirvana but replacing the with Direct Stream Digital tracks from their albums ... but I had to add 'Hey' as it's one of my favourites.

This is the power of Hi-Res digital -> playlists.

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
I put it on when I go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

"Head made of granite, heart made of stone
Toughest on the planet, got steel in the bones
Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Mud on the knuckles, tread off the tires
Barbs on the flannel, got blood from the briars
No sleeping for the vampires
No dreaming for the damn tired
Hard living’s for the hardwired
Hard living’s for the hardwired"

#BlackFrancis  Je suis un musicien autodidacte. En gros, on n’a pas vraiment de théorie musicale, on n’a pas beaucoup de règles. On enfreint les règles, mais c’est surtout parce qu’on ne sait pas qu’elles existent. Du coup, il nous est facile d’aller dans certains coins de la musique.

Being a non-native Bostonian in Beantown allows me to exercise a dispassionate objectivity towards the city’s musical culture. I vicariously experience the pride of housing The Pixies but don’t feel the shame of inhabiting Aerosmith Land.1 And yet, I’m always curious about local artists who can obliterate this objectivity, making me feel proud of Boston. Bygone, a heavy metal/hard rock sextet, may be able to liberate my revolutionary heart from its Tory shackles. Despite being Boston-based, Bygone have just dropped their debut album on Svart Records, an independent label based in Finland. Svart’s solid track record, coupled with that pulpy sci-fi cover, gives me more than a feeling that Bygone will deliver.

As per their name, Bygone is not really interested in revolution. These Bostonians serve a heavier-than-usual hard rock that had its heyday in the 1970s. But as the band itself so enticingly puts it, Bygone ’feels not so much of the historical past as it does the never-quite-was.’2 To this end, guitarists Noah Stormbringer and Chris Corry lay down driving riffs that feel like a chuggier Deep Purple (“Lightspeed Nights,” “City Living”). The powerful mid-range of vocalist James Kirn fronts a Uriah Heep with more heft than David Byron or John Lawton (“Shadow Rising,” “Take Me Home”). All the while, bassist Cecelia Hale and drummer Connor Donegan hover like a steadier UFO (“Fire in You Fire in Me”). With production wetter than the Charles River, Bygone sounds like the 70s proto-metal record that never was, but now is.

Bygone by Bygone

Bygone packs a tasty psychedelic flavor, largely stemming from its synths. Keyboardist Renato is a key fixture of Bygone, sonically fulfilling the spacey atmosphere suggested by the album cover. His tones span the cosmos, sounding like the stars, the interstellar spaceships traveling to them, and everything in between. “Lightspeed Nights” perfectly exemplifies Renato’s dual role in Bygone. Sometimes, he provides atmospheric background for the sparkling guitars; other times, he’s front and center, swirling like Saturnian rings around the band. But Bygone’s highlights, far and away, come from Renato’s interplays with guitarists Stormbringer and Corry. The bridge of “Shadow Rising,” for example, amplifies its time signature change with some nifty call-and-response triplets. Similarly, but more expansively, “Take Me Home” builds a progressive guitar/keyboard conversation into its DNA. On account of its psychedelic synths, Bygone becomes an album that pairs well with some Green Monster.

Bygone doesn’t go by without flaws. As mentioned, Kirn is a powerful vocalist, harboring a flexible mid-range that can satisfyingly hit higher notes. His verses and choruses, however, often need stronger hooks to differentiate themselves from the infectious guitar and keyboard melodies (“Lightspeed Nights”). Bygone also has some pacing issues. Despite being a fairly consistent 43 minutes, it lacks show-stopping highs (though “Take Me Home” comes close). Some midpoint lag (“Into the Gleam,” “The Last Horses of Avalon”) makes the album feel longer than it is. “City Living,” however, picks things back up before the closer. “Fire in You Fire in Me” stands as the most unique track on Bygone, with gentler, warmer tones recalling Procol Harum. Bygone would do well to make way for more variety of this kind.

Bygone is a good (though not wicked good) debut from a promising band. These Bostonians demonstrate keen awareness of what makes modern retro rock/metal work. Tone is tantamount but not totalizing; you need riffs, and Bygone holds plenty. Fans of the band’s 70s influences and other such contemporaries dealing in musical antiques will love the galactically vintage tones on display here. With a bit more songwriting variety and vocal hooks, Bygone should make Boston (and its iconoclastic transplants) more than proud.

Been working on a 'my favorite Black Francis (aka Charles Thompson IV, the guy from the Pixies) songs', and it's pretty damn tight.. Listening through now, I should post it up somewhere. Currently at 43 songs. Might be less after another listen through or two. But it fucking BANGS. Charles can write some KILLER songs. Easily one of my favorite living songwriters. (I've gone on about him on here before, I know.)

Fun fact, did you know he has custom guitars made with just the top 4 strings because that's all he uses to write? These are the kinds of useless musical things I know that I usually only bore my wife with, but lucky you, you're reading it now. 😂

PIXIES
Death To The Pixies
1997 UK 4x10” Box Set

Day 5 of a seemingly endless viral flu.
But there IS cause to celebrate, as my body temperature is down to 100 for the first time in a week.
And celebrating I am, as I’ve pulled out this stunning Pixies box, which has everything you’d ever want from them on it, as well as some stuff you wouldn’t.

17 studio tracks taken from their immaculate studio discography, and 22 tracks taken from a radio broadcast of a live show in the Netherlands in 1990. On top of THAT, there’s also two solo acoustic demos by Frank Black of “Broken Face” and “I’m Amazed”.

Pretty much one stop shopping, here.

🖸 Favorite Nala Songs 🖸

The Pixie's "Here Comes Your Man" off off 1989's "Doolittle" is a perfect song for that year.

Utterly unlike all of the other music being released that year.

You can almost hear The Supremes’ singing this back in their glory days. Or so many other bands.

Dealing with Professionals : #BigSpecial , #ThePixies’ support for their #Cardiff #gig

And if the ground's not cold, everything is gonna burn
We'll all take turns!

#thepixies #alternativerock #music

Pixies was a great gig. They are very no bullshit, just song after song in an order,certaintly don't leave the hits to the end and make you wait for an encore. When it's the end of the gig you know it's the end.

Big Special were an interesting choice for a support act. Not exactly my cup of tea though.

Frank Black "Jesus was right"

#nowlistening #nowplaying #JukeboxFridayNight #fridaydisco #rock #alternativerock #music #musik #musique #frankblack #thepixies #pixies

Fuck I love the Pixies.

I understood by the mid-1990s that they had caché. But I don't think I fully *got* the understated genius of Surfer Rosa and Doolittle until I finally watched Fight Club, years after its release. Hearing the climax of Where is my Mind, as financial records buildings exploded in the background, was undeniably epic.

Often categorised as grunge, but I associate them more with artpunk like Sonic Youth. Stuff filed as "alternative" in 1990s record shops.

@mr_zvbr
Wielkie d(źw)ięki Żubrze!
Muzyczny prymitywizm na granicy geniuszu i surrealistyczno-zlewcze teksty tworzące mieszankę trochę kojarzącą mi się z twórczością The Pixies.
Wincyj takij muzy! Wincyj!
Jak se posłuchōm z rana to mi żōdyn niy podskoczy.

Ponadto kojarzy mi się z wycyzelowanym brzmieniowo i jednak równiej grającym wcieleniem zespołu Meble powołanego do życia przez Pawła Dunin-Wąsowicza w czasach gdy był redaktorem naczelnym czasopisma „Lampa i iskra boża”.
Ich jedyny materiał zatytułowany „Czad giełda” został wydany na kasecie 11.11.1998.

Really impressive how Kim Deal reinvents herself on the 2 recently released songs! Looking forward to the album, and an interview in which she explains how she ended up on this innovative path!

Hmm. Vrijdag naar The Pixies in het openlucht theater van het Goffertpark. 25 °C en droog zeggen ze. Ik zeg dikke prima. #ThePixies

From #ThePixies' 1989 album Doolittle, here's one of the first songs I ever learned as a member of the @creakingplanks nearly 20 years ago, back when we were serious about charting our own course as a nautical ensemble and finding our repertoire from unexpected sources. Put on your life jacket, because here comes a #WaveOfMutilation!

This Monkeys Gone To Heaven - The Pixies

"There was a guy

An underwater guy who controlled the sea

Got killed by ten million pounds of sludge from New York and New Jersey

This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven

The creature in the sky
Got sucked in a hole, now there's a hole in the sky
And the ground's not cold
And if the ground's not cold, everything is gonna burn
We'll all take turns, I'll get mine too..."
