Record companies have their feet in the sky and their head on the ground.

I would pay $450 to have the Pixies play in my back yard, while I grill and enjoy adult beverages.

That's it, though.

nobody should pay anything for any pixies record because thats like paying to get ass cancer.

his solo records however are a different story.

FTFA: Now that he has finished producing Art Brut's latest album, Pixies frontman Black Francis (aka Frank Black) has been busy touring with his latest band, Grand Duchy, and is gearing up for a handful of shows with the Pixies, as well as the June 15 release of the band's career-spanning box set 'Minotaur'

Well that was easy, he isn't even trying...

/submitter is a duchy as well.

FTFA: think the limited edition version retails for $450. But that art already exists--the demand for that particular product has been researched by the people putting it out.

So, when the big, bad record companies gouge, it's eeeeevvvvviiiilllll but because the people he has releasing the box set have done market research, it's OK? Okey dokey, douchebag.

I can't decide which gives me a bigger rush of schadenfreude: hearing The Ramones whine like 2-year olds back in the day because people stole their sound and made gobs of money while they were playing the nostalgia circuit or Pixies doing the same with grunge.

/saw Pixies at Coachella a few years ago, they were horrible
//Dudes, at least *pretend* that you're doing it for reasons other than a paycheck because your solo careers have sucked

Well Frankie never was the sharpest knife in the drawer...

I'll just watch the end of Fight Club again to get their greatest hit and skip the box set.

I guess Monkey Gone to Heaven was ok too.

You're missing out on some of Frank's best work.

Teenager of the Year was the best solo CD from that band.

That noise you hear is his point going over subby's head.

Try reading in context, I know the soundbites are easier to process, but you might actually learn something

/could give a shiat about frank black.
