Pixies are playing at an arena here with Mission of Burma opening. Seems like a no-brainer except that
- It's at an arena so the sound will probably suck.
- It's general admission so I'll have to fight off yahoos to keep a decent spot and then not move for three hours.
- Tickets, with service charges are over $40 each.
I don't have the URLs with me, Michele, but I've long enjoyed KDRadio (rock 'n' roll oldies, defined loosely enough to span from Perry Como's "Wanted" to Tiffany), which is probably [link] If you're interested in streamed commercial radio not otherwise available in the U.S., I'm a fan of several Top 40 stations in the British Isles -- Capitol FM (London), 2FM (Ireland), Today FM (Ireland).
My friend cathy (she sometimes posts here) sent me a link entitled best band ever.
SWEET CHRIST, HOW I LOVE HATEBEAK, THE DEATH METAL BAND WITH A PARROT ON LEAD VOCALS
....
The band I speak of is a punishing death metal cabal boasting a human drummer, a human guitarist, a human bassist … and a fucking Congo African Grey parrot named Waldo as their mouthpiece.
Dammit, why couldn't I think of this?!?!?!

This is, indeed, the future of death metal.
Are they better than the band with the American Pit Bull on lead vocals?
BT: Not minutes after learning of your band, I was pointed to Caninus, an equally punishing torch-to-the-scalp of hardcore and metal fronted by two pit bull terriers. Firstly, is there any truth to the rumors of a split 7" between your two bands in future days? Secondly, do you have title for it yet? Third, which do you think is the most appropriate color for the vinyl -- blood red or tropical green? Lastly, may I please have eight million copies?
BLK: Yes, there is truth to the rumors. We've talked with the fine people in Caninus, and they seem really excited to do it, as are we. It'll be the Faith/Void split for the "00." I do have a working title for the record, but it will remain secret until the unveiling. Yes, you may have eight million copies, but they will be $3 apiece. I guess we could give you a break on the price though.
Heh. My friend Ivor was in Faith.
