I want to be part of this "coming back and telling it like it was" movement Tom and James mentioned. I do disagree about the Pixies to some extent. I was at the same CBGB show that Tom mentioned (opening for Big Dipper, early 1988), and they couldn't have been more intense. It didn't last long, though: 18 months later, they were bored and listless. I do think the Pixies been horrifically overrated, though, and I have no interest in seeing their reunion show. So strange that Doolittle is considered the canonical album, when Come On Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa were so obviously better.
