This DVD gets better each time I watch it.
My appreciation for Frank's songwriting grows each time I hear the songs in their stripped down state. Sing for Joy is just perfect. California Bound, too.
OK, all of them really, just a great collection of songs, performed in a perfect venue and with the perfect honesty. |

I saw Miracle Legion last year, up there with best gigs ever.
Met Mark Mulcahy after the show signing merch. I told him saw Dave / Scott 15 years ago with the Catholics in city they were playing (Glasgow).
He gave a wry smile and said 'what were they doing with Frank Black, right?'
I looked at him, thinking 'you sung with him on Christmass! And opened for the Pixies!'
But then I realised his smile and winking look and we both had a good laugh!

I always thought All Over The World was a song about Santa.. |

It was around the time that Teenager came out that I thought to myself "he should do a Christmas album."
Then I heard about Christmass and I thought, "No kidding!"
But I guess he was kidding somewhat.
What Christmas song would you like to hear the man do?
My vote would be for Frank to do a cover of "Last Christmas I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away." I hate that song with a passion, so it would be cool to see FBF redeem it someohow.

It's a bit heavier than most other more commercial Christmas albums.

Here's something else funny. Growing up in Ireland in the 90s many times I had to say in conversation to strangers about music 'No not Frances Black, FRANK Black!'
So just after I posted above I logged on to Spotify to listen Don't Get Me Wrong. And what popped up initially? 'Dont Get Me Wrong' by Frances Black!! (not a cover)
Very very strange.....

Don't know why it's called Christmass with the extra s? Maybe because it was released in December it was presented as a sort of gift? Was it free when it was released online? I can't remember...
Wiki says produced by Miles Mangino (same Miles who does lighting for Pixies shows? Talented dude!) ...who also produced Mark Mulcahy album In Pursuit of Your Happiness (which Joey played on the final track)
J Mascis plays on a few tracks of this album too |

I do love this album.
Nice and weird with some great songs.
I wish 2.0 would do something like this with b- sides and live performances.
Maybe a Hanukkah album. |

I so wanted to love this but it never grabbed me, I think I was still in thrall to that Underworld solo show in Camden and Christmass just couldn't compete.
Gonna see if I can find my copy and give it another spin :) |
