Lately I've been listening to a little of the Reverend Al Green.

Ummmm...yeah.

The Pixies inspired me to write music, just as they did with about anyone in the modern avant garde rock world and anyone who's been in it for the past 15 years.

I could quote you nearly every Pixies lyric verbatim, and can still play nearly every one of their songs on three instruments.

alkemical · 05-24-2007, 01:42 PM

I didn't know you played any instruments - or i should clarify - i don't remember you stating as much... lol

Oh yeah. I have played for a long time. I was a professional musician from age 17 to 20 when I realized that the industry is fraught with crooks. I still write music and would like to begin playing out again, but I havent found the right musicians to do so. I have a cache of new material that I would like to produce in the vein of radiohead-meets-weezer-meets-ricky skaggs-meets-NIN. Yep. It's odd.

Well, I could produce it streamlined into an elaborate power pop type of thing similar to Weezer, or I could add the instrumentation that I want and make it how I want it.

Well - i bought a drum set and was put in a "band". So i never really learned any covers till recently. Even now when i play, i just play what i hear for the most part.

That's a great place to start. Your next step is to rid yourself of the bad habits you've built up by taking some drum lessons. You can usually find a teacher that likes what you like who can show you some really cool stuff that you will actually use when you play. Lessons are great.

Oh i've taken lessons here and there......

I had some try to "correct" my style, and not a bad habit though - so i just play how they want me to play - then do my own when i'm off on my own.

Really i just want to expand my toolkit so i can vary more stuff - but i can pretty much play any style of music - i do love playing punk music though....

I had a studio in my last house and I could put on a CD, sit down on the kit, and learn the likcs of my favorite players.

I have always liked David Lovering, so I would put on Surfer Rosa, and rifle through the whole album. The song "Oh My Golly!" is a blast to play.

alkemical · 05-24-2007, 04:09 PM

Yeah i just don't get into playing other peoples stuff too much. At least note/note anyway.

"Brick Is Red" & "The Holiday Song" (I know it's on Pilgrim but my CD is a twofer) are the ones I like to play the most when I'm just screwing around playing guitar to cd's and such....my fave of the entire catalog to mess around with like that though is "Letter To Memphis" from Trompe.

That's a good guitar riff song. Trompe is an underrated Pixies album. Bird Dream of the Olympus Mons, Planet of Sound, Letter to Memphis, and Motorway to Roswell are all great pieces.

Oh yeah, I'd also throw the title track, U-Mass, Palace Of The Brine & the great Jesus & Mary Chain cover (Head on) in with your group of songs as well...

I'd rank Trompe behind Surfa Rosa (the twofer) only....and, on certain days, I'd even put it in front of it. It is a great album (I never saw the "it's really a Frank Black solo record" knock that it gets on occasion) and it's very very underrated IMHO.

alkemical · 05-26-2007, 11:45 AM

If you guys like jesus & mary chain - do you guys like black rebel motorcycle club.

Trompe is an aggressive Pixies record with a different feel than Surfer or Even Doolittle. The themes are different, having a very much X-files type of feel. but Francis' lyrics and the music are of much more of a dreamy quality with a little bit of Bradbury tying it all together. Francis is definitely a thinking persons lyricist. I have always loved that about the Pixies.

Surfer and the earlier stuff found on Come On Pilgrim are very gutteral and aggressive, both lyrically and musically. Violent and tender. The stuff on Trompe is still violent and tender, but it is also more mature musically. The punk kids might not like it as much as they did Crackity Jones and the like, but it stands up just fine on its own merits, IMO.

All of the Pixies albums are so different from one another (except for the first two, which were really from the same pool of songs anyway) that its hard for me to choose a favorite. I like them all. From the sweet and honestly heart-felt "Havalina" to the tragic and haunting "Motorway to Roswell" to the avant garde masterpiece "I Bleed" to the beautiful "Velouria", the Pixies' cache is rich and each album presents a lush landscape for the fan of the odd.

I could go on and on...I'll shut up now.

Why wouldn't I? I loved the first two albums...then heard they got away from the feedback and went acoustic....I haven't heard that album yet and I have to admit that I wasn't really in a hurry to based upon that because...well, I do like my ear-wrecking, sloppy groove feedback ya know.

Thank God Dinosaur Jr. is back together and touring on a super strong new release....I wanna catch that show so bad, you just don't know.

While I love the Pixies (Bossanova is my personal favorite), I think Frank Black's finest moment is his solo album Teenager of the Year. 22 tracks, and not a bad one in the bunch, including all time greats like "(I Want to Live on an) Abstract Plain", "Speedy Marie", "Headache", and "Superabound."

I am a fan of the Frank stuff too. My favorite album of his is Cult of Ray, but I think that Teenager of the Year is probably his most creative and complete showing.

I love the job Lyle Workman does on that album. He's a very underrated player.
