where is my wallet? :: i heart sell-outs

so yeah. if it weren't for selling out, i'da never seen my fave band ever the pixies. since they pretty much hate each other and broke up in the early 90's, i figured seeing them live would be as likely as a nirvana tour. however, frank black listens when money talks, and even though he blatantly admits that it's all about the "fucking money" and not about the "artsy fartsy," i don't care. he was interviewed saying that yeah, surfer rosa and cmon pilgrim tours could be a possibility if the promoters set it up.

well after catching their initial reunion tour in 2005 and the doolittle tour this past november, i say to you frank black or black francis or whoever the hell you wanna be referred to as - YES PLEASE. can you even imagine??? doolittle's great and all, don't get me wrong - but surfer rosa is my IT album. i mean, seriously. . . just imagine:

1. bone machine (YOU TRY TO MOLEST ME IN THE PARKING LOT. YUP, YUP YUP YUP)
2. break my body
3. something against you
4. broken face
5. gigantic 
6. river euphrates
7. where is my mind? (my bro would dig this one)
8. cactus
9. tony's theme (channelling miss tessa hernandez - THIS IS A SONG ABOUT A SUPERHERO NAMED TONY, IT'S CALLED TONY'S THEME)
10. oh my golly!
11. vamos
12. i'm amazed
13. brick is red

. . . and then i would die and go to heaven. or hell. or that place religious people believe in when your soul is in turmoil and you're just floating around all confused and stuff. i wouldn't care, because i'd have seen surfer rosa. i really like the pixies. reminds me of a simpler time. . . when i was 18 in the all-girl dorm, parker hall (virgin vault, four floors of whores, etc), living down the hall from quinn & tessa and snacking on tessa's wheat thins, bouncing around to bone machine with fight club playing in the background. elimidate. calling boys creepy. being mega radiostars. the football house. strolling in the woods. runs to hudson taco bell.

ahhh. nostalgia. the pixies. friends.

here's to selling out.
