Backstage w/ Mr. John Murphy · Dec 14, 08:30 PM by Don
I recently bought and watched the Pixies documentary, loud QUIET loud, and I have to say I was underwhelmed. It is so thin. I wanted more meat, more substance. It is a tour documentary with plenty of backstage footage but few revelations. There are some gripping moments, most of which revolve around David Lovering’s drug use after the death of his father. However, the film never sufficiently follows through with Lovering’s induldgences. He’s still in the band, so something positive must have happened regarding the problem. But loud QUIET loud fails to show you; Lovering’s problem is left unresolved at film’s end. Some of the best moments are in the DVD’s deleted scenes, many of which should have been edited into the larger film. In particular, I’m thinking of the clips titled “Mid-Tour Break” and “Backstage w/ Mr. John Murphy.”
Here are some more July 2006 mp3’s, two of which are Pixies songs. These will only be available for a few more days, so snatch ‘em up!
