For the Doolittle Tour, Pixies will perform all of the songs from Doolittle and its related B-sides. Pixies' classics such as "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," "Hey," and "Gouge Away" are all on Doolittle's track listing.


"We wanted to do something special for Doolittle's 20th anniversary," said Black Francis, "and we thought this was a good opportunity to play all of the songs from that album, something we don't normally do at a regular gig."

Whether he joins or not, we'll be fine this season, and then in the Summer we will build a stunning team, the perfect blend of our youth players, stars and solid signings.

The world is a beautiful place. You must go into it and love everyone. Try to make everyone happy, and bring peace and contentment everywhere you go. And so I became a waiter ... Well, it's not much of a philosophy I know ... but well ... fuck you! I can live my own life in my own way if I want to! Fuck off!

No Manchester?

Go to the Dublin show. We can have a meet up there.

Saw Frank Black And The Catholics a few years ago in Vicar Street.

They player the set backwards. They came out waved at everyone, played one song - a cover of Dirty Old Town, stood at the edge of the stage waving and said "goodnight!" and walked off.

The crowd cheered and started a "we want more!" chant.

They then came back after a few minutes and played another 90 minutes.

Ha brilliant

Dublin's quite far though

*wants to go*

Then go.

If only it were that simple. I might go actually.

It is simple. Buy a ticket, book a flight and then go. I do it all the time for footy in Manchester and gigs in London.

Money innit.

Hmmmm. I'm poved out myself. Getting the boot in two weeks time. Still hope to get over for the first game of the season to watch Eto'o score a hatrick on his debut.

Saw them when they reformed a few years ago for the first time. They pretty much played Doolittle from start to finish then. I might go to one of the London dates, seeing as one of them's on my birthday.........
