White Stripes and the Pixies

Posted on June 07, 2005
I've been looking forward to this album far too much. I had high expectations after the reviews and Blue Orchid.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a "bad" album. Heck, I probably would like it better if I wasnt looking forward to it as much as I have been. But it's ok. There I said it... It's ok. I was hoping for, expecting, wanting... an incredible album. But it's just ok.

In contrast on Friday I went to see the Pixies with Mike. It was a great show, with the Bell Rays as the open act. Let me just say the energy the Bell Rays had was amazing, and I have to say it was probably the best opening act I've seen. The Pixies were amazing. Definately worth the ticket price and 11pm show. Kim Deal was looking a bit masculine, but her voice was just as sweet as it's always been, between her cigerette and beer brakes while Frank was doing his thing.
