I really like the Pixies, so I had high hopes for this film, about which I’ve heard nothing but good. Maybe my hopes were just too high, but LoudQuietLoud did not really do it for me. I felt like I’d seen it all before, one big cliche rockumentary from start to finish, with the exception of the relationship depicted between the Deal sisters, which was nice. The concert footage was enjoyable of course, but nothing I hadn’t seen before. On the whole, well, I would have been better just busting out my CDs and ripping them to my iPod, which I have since done.

Fabulous. I have the Pixies DVD, and I think they share a little of the same footage, but the behind-the-scene stuff in this is really what did it for me. Loved seeing Kim Deal just totally wide eyed and freaking out at the crowd reaction at their first reunion show. See it. It’s great.
