The Pixies are one of my all time favorite groups from the 80's and 90's, having worn grooves in their second album Doolittle in ways I didn't think possible. So it's good to know that while they've been off the road and out of the studio, front man Frank Black/Francis Black/Charles Thompson has been keeping himself busy by gettin' busy.

Frank and his wife Violet welcomed baby boy Jude to their growing brood, 20 inches long and weighed in at 6 pounds, 14 ounces. He joins big brothers and sisters Julian, Annabelle, Jack and Lucy who all live in

WOW! And I thought having four kids was a lot (yes, I include my two step children 'cuz they're awesome).

Eric and I saw the Pixies a few years ago when they had a reunion tour, and while they were more subdued, slightly pudgier and fair bit older, they still managed to rock out on all our favorites. Above is mine and Eric's favorite, "Here Comes Your Man," which in light of his new little man, seems appropriate :)

Congrats Frank - Here's one for you, which in between feedings in the middle of the night, you might find yourself singing.
