I have mixed feelings about this.  I /love/ the Pixies, always have. 
I've seen them several times, always an amazing show.  But they've been 
broken up for so long, and reforming now just reminds me of the dinosaur 
rock bands I used to sneer at for reforming in the mid-80s, touring just 
to suck up the bucks.  Emphasis on suck.

So I'd really love to see the Pixies, but I'm not sure that they'd have 
any /authenticity/ any more.  I suppose if they came up with some great 
new material and an album, that would have cred.  But if they just 
barnstormed playing the same stuff from 10-15 years ago, well, it would 
be sad.
