Weird Al To Join The Pixies

as per pitchfork (lol)

Yankovic will sing the Doolittle jam "I Bleed". But maybe if we bug him enough, he'll subject a Pixies song or two to the "Weird Al" treatment. "Here Comes Your Spam"? "This Monkey's Gone to 7-11"? This needs to happen.

The show is one of two benefits, taking place December 8-9 at the Echoplex and the Echo, to raise money for Winston's Village, which supports the family of Winston Bertrand, a nine-month-old baby born with lymphatic and venous malformations, two rare and life-threatening conditions.

There's already a topic.

That one should be merged with this one. Better title.

Oh that's just great....Al's getting press in Pitchfork. I'm done listening to him now.

Edit: Since the article and the appearance are separate things, I'll let it stand. Plus, don't want to take attention away from the cause

So, you are going?

I wish it'd been the Breeders--Al playing accordion to "Cannonball" would be epic.

Woah...I seriously dislike Cannonbalm but I can just picture it now, and you're 100% right.

I was thinking there was a chance of Al whipping out the accordion during I Bleed.
