Doolittle, the band's third album and the first to chart on Billboard's album charts, includes classics such as "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," "Hey," and "Gouge Away. "

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

SLINGER!!
I cannot wait to see the PIXIES again!! They came to Austin for ACL a couple years ago and had the decency to play another show at Stubbs for all the die-hard fans who can't afford ACL yuppie prices. They were great and I know you won't be disappointed!!
Anyway, down to the reason I am writing:
I am Leitha from suicidegirls.com and a big fan of your work. I just searched the ins and outs of the internet looking for you. Haha!
I have a jar made by you, but would love a custom-blown sherlock with the SG logo, if it's possible. I read in Glass Afficianado issue 1 that SG are one of your many inspirations, so I think it might be rewarding for you too! Let me know what you think. Price is not a problem.
