I just ordered Trompe and the Surfer Rosa/Come on Pilgrim combo.
I was always into the punk and underground scene as a kid and for some reason missed out on them. This thread reminded me that I had missed something I had always wanted to check out. While I feel like I've missed something it is pretty exciting to discover them now at age 30. It's like I saved a really cool gift for myself or something.
Watching my son get into it at age 7 is really fun.

Somehow I couldn't get through Frank Black's Honeycomb. Is his other solo stuff good? Does my inquiry classify as blasphemy?
I'm only asking because I will happen to pass by.. http://www.bcninternet.com/touri…

the pixies are the greatest rock band ever.
"we tried very, very hard to not sound like a cover band of the Pixies from the beginning. They are the best."

So the new live CDs sound good? Has his voice changed much?
I was reading on Amazon that Frank Blacks CDs are supposed to be great. The are all really highly reviewed. The had great things to say about Teenager of the Year for instance:

they just sounded so good live
it was just like listening to a cd with head phones on
later we bought the live recording of the concert we saw - and it even sounded better!!!
