Not sure if this has been posted, but Frank Black should be on Later With Jools Holland this May- I read May 27th on some teletext thing, but the Eels site says May 20th.

it's 6 megabytes of pure frankness.
email me from here and i'll send it asap
i've a quicktime vid which is 2.6mb, been compressed and is very small, but easy to email if you want to take a little look while you listen (if it will play on your machine)
it all looks beautiful to me

Let's hope he never gets stuck in the same horrible rut! Was expecting more energy from The Man, but a lovley song for the little time we saw him.

For any Mac users out there: Download SSX(a Mac client using the soulseek network) here:
http://chris.schleifer.net/ssX/downloads/ssX-1.0b6.dmg
It works really well and you don't have to do anything funky to install it. |

Attn Usenet users: It's in alt.binaries.mpeg.video.music. Looks like it was taken from an HDTV broadcast. Excellent quality.
A fine performance by Frank! |

FYI Jon I don't know what a trogolodyte is, so I didn't want to make fun of you. Those of us born in the Eighties have a hard time getting used to fancy words. On the music-hard drive thing, that's cool, I didn't want you to be upset on yourself afterwards. Those P2P programmes can be tricky, you should always be aware of the risks, as far as I know, is downloading not illegal, but sharing stuff is, that's at least in Holland.
Cheers Jon! Have fun with the DVD that FBC sends you!

you are welcome. i'd be glad to help out with soulseek but i'm not familiar with macs. i'm pretty sure that there is a bittorent client for macs tho'.

Indeed, there is no soulseek for Mac - can someone put the Torrent on a non-registration site please?

Thanks to all for trying to help me, but either my computer or myself is unable to make this happen. FBC, I would appreciate that DVD (of the whole show if possible)....
My mailing address is P.O. Box 158892, Nashville, Tenn. 37215 and the first three people to mail me DVDs get a free copy of the Ellis Hooks album BLACK MARKET! I like to think that many of you would do it out of good will alone, but I believe in the incentive program.
By the way, I hope the DVDs will be compatible with American players....anybody know if this is the case?
bye for now,
Jon the computer whiz |

for those not familiar with p2p: soulseek is a p2p application. dimeadozen is a member only site that permits downloads by bitorent which is another p2p application. the file is the same but in 2 different "places" downloadable or in soulseek or by signing in the dimeadozen site (which apparently can't be done since they have their member list full for now) and using bittorent.

i don't know another way for you to view this yet Jon. I can't download anything from Soulseek because of this mac, plus i'm confused by the whole soulseek/dimeadozen torrent thing anyway. Are they one in the same? Not sure.
i have a copy of Laters... on dvd format i'd be happy to mail to Nashville. But i'm sure the guys here can talk you through the whole torrent downloading step by step, which would be alot quicker than waiting for the postman.
(EDIT; and as I type, MCA to the rescue)
I know this isn't much help, but this here is the BBC6 session thread of 'I Burn Today' and 'Song of the Shrimp' you can listen too if you haven't already. FB sounded just as good here as on Jools.

I would appreciate some help with this, as I do want to view "I Burn Today" and I'm not getting anywhere by myself. If anyone has an alternate way without the soulseek engine, I'm willing to try that as well.
As long as I'm on here, I'm going to answer a question from the other thread! The song that took the longest to complete was probably HONEYCOMB, because it had the most complex chart, but it was the charting that took the longest, we cut it on the first take. None of them really took long, particularly by contemporary recording standards, because we didn't have to resort to pro-tools and we had excellent musicians who picked up every nuance.
Now somebody help me ronda!
best,
Jon
hi, i'll be glad to help out. here's how to enter soulseek:
1) download the client application here: http://www.slsknet.org/download.html
2) install on your pc by following the instructions
3) run it
4) once installed and connected just let me know you user name and i'll get to you for further help

Hey Jon, of all the people in the world you are the last that I expect to download Frank Black music! Haha, sorry, I don't mean that! But I must warn you, if you have any other FB music on your harddrive (like The siccilian), be sure you don't share that on soulseek too! Would be a funny mistake nontheless, an album accidentely leaked by it's own producer

Hehe, Steve. Martha is no whore, she is the sister of Rufus and daughter of Loudon Wainwright and Kate McCarrigle. A family which has produced some good music.

I've just watched this five times in a row. Brilliant. Love the song, Frank was great.
Bring on Honeycomb!

add me to your user list, my name on it is dghjkdyuuty
yes, weird, but i couldn't be bothered coming up with a suitable name for it.
then right click me when i'm online and browse my files and you should see it there. double click to download. i'll try to leave soulseek connected as much as possible.

Just shown this to my brother. like he says, the man's written hundreds of songs and still you can see how much he means every word he sings, the belief in his music is immense. God i love the music of Frank Black, my bro just filled me up with pride in the man, that's all. |

Posted - 05/28/2005 : 03:46:24
i think he mentioned he'd heard of her (and Van) when asked about last night's line up.
frank was awesome wasn't he (no question mark, that be a statement)
a friend has it burnt on dvd so i'll try and hook a few of you up when i see the copy |
| billgoodman |
Posted - 05/28/2005 : 03:06:36
....I still think Martha was great, although I heard the tracks a couple of times, the first time I didn't it was special at all. Hey have you seen Martha and Frank talking to eachother at a table at the end of the show, didn't Frank say something about her in an interview

aww, it's actually in the "yesterday i will burn, for the times i did not learn" lines (he does say burn instead at least once elsewhere though) and is in the record.

i've never seen him sing eyes closed so much before
the concentration maybe from all those Pixie lyrics running through his thoughts
i was waiting for a slight fuck up but not tonight |
