The Pixies Play Letterman, December 14th, 2004.

So those monkeys that had gone to heaven? Well they finally flew out of my butt.



It wasn't the first time - they performed 'Tame' in 1989 and 'Trompe Le Monde' in 1991 - but it was uniquely magnificent in it's sheer unlikeliness. This time last year, they weren't even speaking. They play the final show of the reunion tour, or The Pixies Sellout as they themselves call it this week. Letterman was a nice capper.

Joey, Charles, Kim and Dave - thanks for a great year. I feel like such a fanboy freak saying that, but I really mean it. Anyone who knows me will contest to the fact that I can die now. Albeit alone.
