Posted - 08/27/2006 : 12:36:07 I first saw frank on a tour supporting dog in the sand and I dont think I have been to a show where frank was selling t shirts. It would be great if he sold them on his current or upcoming tour. Just a thought. My suggestion, something simple. No tourdate on the back. those shirts are kind of lame. but i would probabl still buy one. |

Posted - 12/12/2006 : 14:01:39 You should have gotten the shirt. ESPECIALLY if it was too small. Cause then you could give it to someone you find really attractive, if it fit them, and then they'd wear it and be even MORE attractive.

Posted - 12/11/2006 : 20:57:46 I have a shirt that i bought during the tour right before Frank Black and the Catholics came out. Its getting kinda old but it has the tribal guys across the front. Also, I remember they had really sweet shirts for sale during the Cult of Ray tour but they only had S when i went to get one, so i got a sticker instead. |

Ah well.

Does anybody remember some article awhile back where an interviewer asked Frank some random questions about things that annoy him (and Frank actually gave detailed answers)? I remember he talked about condescending record store clerks and rock band stickers. He mentioned how his label or his management or somebody had once pressed up a bunch of Frank Black & the Catholics stickers (for promotion or sell at shows or whatever). Frank said that when he got them, he threw them all out. He was so tired of seeing rock band stickers all over the place when he'd play clubs every night and didn't want to be seeing HIS band's stickers all over, either.
Maybe this anti-advertisting attitude (see also "I've Seen Your Picture") was a part of why the Catholics stopped bothering with T-shirts.
Yes, I do remember that. I think it was from the magazine X-ray in September of 2003. A fantastic article. Kudos to you for remembering it, Jason. |

I think we should try to make forum shirts through Cafe Press - that way you pay as you go, and we can offer all sorts of options.

Ya, I am a genius. In the sense that I can watch a television show (ie. the Simpsons) and contextually use qoutes from that show (ie. swish). I also threw a little metric (not the Emily Haines variety) in there. To show my range. And this is morbidly off-topic (like morbidly obese, except related to off-topicness), but I dig on your blog and I left a few comments uder different names. Hint: the Dave Grohl one. Another hint: I'm not the long-winded French wacko.

That thin cotton shit is the best. It makes you feel like you got gigantic pectoral muscles. I mean I'm benchin' 480 so I don't need the re-affirmation but the chix dig it, I do it for you ladies.

i got a "show me your tears" t shirt from the corresponding Uk tour, i will get a photo up of it later tonight, it is a very pretty top, with the lovely cats, i think it cost about £10 (at least to the best of my knowledge)

Posted - 08/30/2006 : 08:58:46 I remember that and there was a line about not being able to use mirrors in clubs because bands cover them with stickers. And may have also been the article where he praised hotel bars. |
