Saw the Pixies in '89 as well, in Virginia.  Pretty great show.  Frank,
apparently not looking to get laid by any groupies that night, came out
in a open flannel shirt over a white tee, warm-up pants, looked like he
hadn't shaved in at least a week and maybe had just woken up as well.
He was working that 'third shift at the convenience store' angle pretty
hard that night.

I knew Bossanova was going to have problems when I recognized the intro
of a song on the radio just by the drum beat alone.  Heard bits and
pieces, it was ok, but never even bothered w/Trompe La Monde.
