The Pixies on Jimmy Fallon 11/24

performing “Debaser” (above) and “Hey” (below) - two of my faves - the latter was the one that got me hooked in 1990…checked in and never left

Incredible range in the types of music, song, and lyrics.  How they play is different yet fuckin SLAMMIN - every. single. time. 

Watching & hearing this performance is making me seriously consider trying to find last minute tix to tonight’s late show @ Hammerstein starting at 11:45pm (Pixies would go on at 1am) - It’s their LAST show in NYC for this tour!!!!

Already saw the first at Hammerstein NYC on Mon, 11/23 (go to home page and scroll down to see pics, set list, vids)…It was FANTASTIC! but also…

Honestly such a mind fuck.  Their songs are full, but short.  So I’m built up, brought to the max, then boom-done.  (Yeah I know.)  They were around from ‘89-‘93, broke up for 11 or so years, then back in NYC in 2004…then had to wait another 5 years for them to come around again.  Dude, touch me in the morning then just walk away. 

So amazing to hear them live…but I’m always left wanting more.  Maybe I’m just addicted.  No wait…that’s not a maybe. 

Are you kidding me with the Black Francis and Kim Deals vocals, Joey’s guitar, Kim’s guitar, and Lovering’s drumming?!? Eat, Drink, Man, Woman…Pixies.

This is how I feel about them right now.

Efren Peñaflorida

CNN November 22, 2009—

Efren Peñaflorida, who started a “pushcart classroom” in the Philippines to bring education to poor children as an alternative to gang membership, has been named the 2009 CNN Hero of the Year.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper revealed Peñaflorida’s selection at the conclusion of the third-annual “CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute” at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Saturday night.

The gala event, taped before an audience of 3,000 at the Kodak Theatre, premieres on Thanksgiving, November 26, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the global networks of CNN.

Peñaflorida, who will receive $100,000 to continue his work with the Dynamic Teen Company, was selected after seven weeks of online voting at CNN.com. More than 2.75 million votes were cast.
