Frank Black Scraps New Pixies Material
Billboard is reporting that Frank Black has scrapped a load of new songs he had written with the intent of releasing a new Pixies album.
Black tells Billboard.com that about six months ago he wrote a batch of new songs for the band “in an attempt to convince one of the Pixies to make a Pixies record again. I can’t say who she is,” he adds with a laugh, referring, of course, to reticent bassist Kim Deal.
Ultimately, however, Black says that while he “liked how a few of [the songs] came out,” the exercise showed him that his heart wasn’t necessarily in it, either.
“I tried to find my Pixies muse and write a so-called Pixies number,” he says, “but they just weren’t any good. They sounded a little contrived or something. That’s the problem with trying to repeat something you did a long time ago; if you go ‘Okay, I’m gonna try to recreate something, tap into some mood I used years ago,’ even if it’s the same songwriter, it’s kind of fakey.”
“What can I say? Sometimes I wish I could just spit out some Pixies-esque songs, but it doesn’t really work that way,” he continues. “You write the songs and they come out the way they come out. They might sound like the Pixies, but these days mostly … not.”

I got to meet Frank when he went solo. One hell of a nice guy! Now, on the other hand, Kim Deal....she is a CUNT! I met too! She yelled and cursed at me just because I recognized her! I asked for an autograph and she FLIPPED THE FUCK OUT!!! Ranting and throwing her arms. I had a 2 month old baby in my arms when she did this mind you! She like ran me off and shit. It was that tour they did with Nirvana back in 1993/1994. Horrible woman!!! I burned all her fucking solo tapes! Told her she was a cunt and that I would never fill her pockets with any of my money again!
And if you've never seen it with your own eyes, it just don't make sense!- Josie
