Below is the updated version of the Pixies discography.
There are still a couple of ??'s left in it, so if anyone
can provide the answers to those questions, it will be most
appreciated.  Also, if anyone has any additional info or
basically anything to say or ask about this, feel free to do it.
After including the information I may get, I will send this 
discography to the archives at cs.uwp.edu in a short while.

Watch out for the forthcoming Neil Young discography!

      rock mag Sounds. "Down To The Well" was re-recorded 
      later for Bossanova.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Francis: "We did earn it, but it's not like we deserve it or anything.  We
	 did it and we're successful.  We used to go down every night and
	 none of those other bands would show up to practice.  They'd show up
	 on Saturday and just get high, and that was it.  Not everybody, I'm
	 generalizing, but it seemed like it."
Kim:	 "It's not like we were militant hard workers.  We just did it."
Francis: "Yeah.  Yeah, yeah.  Yeah."

"Much joy after hearing "Doolittle" has entered the British National Charts
 at number eight.  I've been reading "The Wicked Ways Of Malcolm McLaren and
 just got to the part where the Sex Pistols' "Never Mind The Bollocks"
 entered the British Charts at number 11.  Three places below could make
 me grin.  John Lydon can suck my dick any time."           -- Black Francis
