Pixies Could Reform
Oh my god, that would just be too cool.
Although as the initial sheer excitement dies down a little, I'm beginning to think not all reunions are good. I mean, what if they got back together and just didn't cut it anymore? What if their new songs, horror of all horrors, were arse?
The pixies wrote 5 of the finest albums ever. Maybe its best to leave it that way? But how could I say no to new pixies material?? hmmm ...
Having discussed this with a few friends, one of them ventured forth a fantasy gig setlist, which, bar the admission of Hey! and Where Is My Mind (because they're too quiet!! huh, what does he know?) is a pretty good list. Just how good would this be:

Debaser (right out of the starting blocks)
Head On (ratchet it up another notch)
The Sad Punk (and evolving from the sea wouldn't be too much time for me to walk beside you in the sun)
Nimrod's Son (eclectic crowd pleaser)
I Bleed (break it down)
Here Comes Your Man (everyone's happy middle section)
Gigantic (everyone's happy middle section)
Velouria (getting somwhat more excited)
Tame (hips like cinderella)
Hang Wire (every morning and every day - I'll bossanova wit'cha)
Tony's Theme (stomping crowd pleasing build up to the finale)
Oh My Golly (stomping crowd pleasing build up to the finale)
U-Mass (stomping crowd pleasing build up to the finale)
Down to the Well (medley of greatness finale)
Is She Weird? (medley of greatness finale)
Gouge Away (medley of greatness finale)

Encore:

I've Been Tired

Second encore because it was just too wonderful:

The Happening (if they could pull this off I could die happy - "I'm almost there to Vegas where they're putting on a show they've come so far I've lived this long at least I must just go and say hello").
