Due June 13 via Rhino, the set will feature "Message to the Boys" and "Pool & Dive," the band's first new recordings in 16 years."

This is even more exciting than getting the first disc of Six Feet Under Season 5 last night in the mail. I am eager to hear the new material and just wish there was more. I was more pumped up about the Pixies getting back together because I had never seen them live. I did get the oppurtunity to see the 'Mats a few times before their demise. Once at a small outdoor stage near an amusement park in CT during the final days of the band when they opened Elvis Costello and once when they were headlining at a club called One Step Beyond in Santa Clara, CA on the Don't Tell A Soul tour. Both times band seemed relatively sober and we were fortunate it was not of the infamous shows in which they were plastered and played all cover songs...poorly. I just wish they would reunite for a new tour. If only the Pixies would record a new album as has been rumoured.

When I went back to college in 1988, I think everyone I knew had the poster of the album cover from "Pleased to Meet Me" somewhere in their apartment. It must have been an admissions requirement at the U of Iowa at the time.
