I know, at that time I was 20 years old. I hope it is acceptable. Kim Deal was to me like Shane MacGowan or Mike Scott would have been to you at that age. [/b]

I wasn't having a dig...it really is great that you're all excited about the reunion.

My mistale, I don't know what giddy means. I wasn't taking it seriously either.

The setlist that I saw them do on the Doolittle tour had them doing the entire setlist in alphabetical order (or was it reverse alphabetical, can't remember). Was this typical?

From Billboard.com:
 
 

As first reported here yesterday, legendary modern rock act the Pixies are in a Southern California rehearsal space preparing to reunite for the first time since 1993. Billboard.com can reveal that the group will hit the road in April for an 11-city warm-up tour of North America, concluding with a previously confirmed May 1 appearance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif.
 
 From there, the quartet of guitarist/vocalist Frank Black, bassist/vocalist Kim Deal, guitarist Joey Santiago and drummer David Lovering will head to Europe for a tour that will run from May 28 to July 10. The only confirmed dates at present are support slots for the Red Hot Chili Peppers on June 12 at Dublin's Phoenix Park and June 15 at Paris' Parc des Princes.
 
 Additional details have also come to light regarding the upcoming retrospective and DVD releases first reported here in December. 4AD/Beggars Banquet will issue a 23-track best-of with the working title "Wave of Mutilation -- Best of the Pixies," featuring such classics as "Gigantic," "Dig for Fire," "Monkey Gone to Heaven," "Here Comes Your Man" and a remix of "Debaser."
 
 The DVD, simply titled "Pixies," will feature music videos for "Debaser," "Alec Eiffel," "Here Comes Your Man," Velouria," "Monkey Gone to Heaven," "Dig For Fire/Allison" and "Head On," a 1988 concert from London's Town and Country Club and the documentary "Gouge," sporting testimonials from Bono, David Bowie and Radiohead's Thom Yorke.
 
 While Black has enjoyed a prolific solo career since the Pixies' demise, Deal has released music infrequently with the Amps and the Breeders and Lovering has spent the six years working as a professional magician. "I'd given up drums for a long time," the drummer told Billboard.com last week. "I haven't played them in years and years. It would just be fun to do it again. We just have fun playing."
 
 Amid all the Pixies-related activity, Black will release a double-disc solo album, "Frank Black Francis," in April or May via spinART.

Gotta say this is what I love about this band...who the HELL saw those dates coming? Frustrating yes...but what can you do? I think it's hilarious. I'd try to go to one of those dates warm-up dates, but given that I'll have to get on a plane later to get to Coachella, I'm not sure I'll make it. But I'll have to see what I can work out.

I'd be patient....they'll announce a whole slew of other dates.  The first round of "pre-Coachella" dates is dribbling out.  I recommend planning to hit one of these shows only if you're one of the folks planning to see them four or five times during the reunion tour....

[bearman🐻]

Airfare is just too much...I can't justify flying out to Coachella AND doing one of those other dates. But I suspect they'll be playing some tiny places, which would be awesome. I dunnot...I'm still keep my fingers crossed to make it to Winnipeg. That would be a neat show, eh?
