Fans hoping for new material from the Pixies might have to wait a while. Black Francis, a.k.a. Frank Black, is gearing up for Bluefinger. But if the first single is any indication, you won't mind the delay. "Threshold Apprehension," which is already available at www.emusic.com (and will appear on the June 12-released Best of Frank Black '93-'03), summons Pixies classics like "U-Mass" and "Debaser." Due in September, the album pays homage to the late painter/musician Herman Brood and marks Black's first solo project under his original pseudonym. Best of all, it proves Black Francis can still wail like he did twenty years ago. Andy Vihstadt
