Pixies release new single 'Bagboy' as BitTorrent bundle (video)
Yes, there have been BitTorrent bundles from high profile artists before, but it's still a nice surprise to see The Pixies release its first original song since 2004's Bam Thwok on the service. If you want to be amongst the first to hear "Bagboy," then simply download the bundle and unlock it with your email address. Those who do will then receive a complete version of the band's 2004 Coachella set delivered straight to their inbox. For those of you who haven't yet discovered Frank Black and his friends, the new single (plus a classic for comparison) has been tucked after the break.
Stacking dev crafting Pixies-inspired Matryoshka dolls for tribute art exhibition
This fall, Double Fine project lead Lee Petty will try his hand at something other than developing games about Russian stacking dolls, though it doesn't deviate far in spirit from his usual work. Along with a few dozen other artists, he'll be creating a Pixies-inspired work for an art exhibit in Venice, California, titled "Dig for Fire" (named after the Pixies song, as you esteemed rock historians likely guessed). The show is taking place at the C.A.V.E. Gallery and runs September 9 through October 1, so you'll have a few weeks to head over and peruse the art. We'll probably check it out -- fingers crossed that there's no homage to "Wave of Mutilation!" [Thanks, Kevin!]
