to the archivist:
there is already a version of this song on the
archive, but it is inacurate, and a kinda mish mash of
the two guitar parts. It also doesn't cover the whole
song... this tab is complete, and more acurate... I
had better tell you that it is all my own work too...
oh well... I hope this is ok...
Artist: The Pixies
Title: Brick is Red
Album: Surfer Rosa
Tabbed by: Stuart Dinsdale

This is my first ever tab... I am pretty sure it is
100% but feel free to email and shout if it isn't...

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PIXIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
