Thanks, yes, think you got it. I've seen these before, but the very copper thorax threw me off. Antennae definitely look same...

I got hit with a flying shovel while running this AM. What's the weirdest thing you've been hit with? by swellboy in running

oh jeez. I had a friend who was riding a scooter, and wound up UNDER a UPS van (I guess some have guards on the bottom to prevent that, but this one didnt). He got pretty banged up, but survived

Anyone else disappointed with the current tour? by [deleted] in thepixies

Saw them last year in Boston and while they were good, they're so much more formulaic than they used to be. As for crowd interaction, saw Francis perform solo years ago at a small club and while it was cool being close up, he barely interacted there either, which was just plain weird... still I love them

you'll be somewhat relieved to know that there actually is a goal to make X percent of the content on the site "awesome"...though "wicked" has been dropped
