I have always thought that the Pixies completely suck.

made me even less inclined to go there than I already was. Sometimes,
that's just the price you pay when a band reaches a certain critical
mass, but I am going to have to really, REALLY love a band to bother
see anything there again.

I would also like to encourage people to note that most-if-not-all of
the positive press about the Pixies reunion has been coming from (a)
people too young to have seen them pre-Bossanova the first time, and/or

people who actually really liked both Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde.

I have vivid memories of their slide into suck-dom that commenced with
Bossanova-era shows, and I'm not convinced that they're currently
achieving anything that could compare with my equally vivid memories of

seeing them for the first time on the "Death to the Pixies" tour. That
plus the Ritz Factor (and the heinous prices) is more than enough to
keep me away.
