Kees, as coastline rightly pointed out, you do indeed rule. I've just listened to this track now and it's amazing. It's beautiful. I love it. Thanks.

Only album track, but he also sings on the b-side of the E-Ticket Ride ep called "Big Bang Theory".

The file will be available for 14 days or 500 downloads (yes, I upgraded for you all...)
The track features Mike Watt-Bass, Frank Black-Singer, Michael Preussner-Drums, Nels Cline-Electric+Nylon Guitars, Keith McCaw-Acoustic Guitar & Stephen Perkins-Percussion
And if you didnt know the minutemen, enjoy the greatest rock band of all times, but DONT you start with "Three Way Tie for last".
Better taste first for example "Buzz or howl under the influence of heat" |

I don't LOVE this song (too country for my taste) but I liked the lyrics. I thought it was a fun song. |

Lucky me I grabbed it immediatly.
Cool song but Golden shore is similar and better (especially the band).
Atlantis and IDLHA would not have made HC and FMRM better.
I realize how good these albums are, I never stoped to listen to them since they were out. |

It Seems that Adam Buxton has decided to post the videos under another heading, fortunately they are still available:
Calsitan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qik7gjekizk
I Will Run After You: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLe7-8WMGsg
and a new one, from a different session:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzsdttq5hdc
This last one was recorded whilst Adam & Joe recorded an episode of their Series "Vinyl Justice". The specific episode where they go through Charles' records can also be seen on YouTube and is WELL worthwhile, even though the sound is out of sync:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9EXRy_cRO0
The story related to all these recordings can still be found on Adam Buxton's website:
http://adam-buxton.com/ad/
Just one more wordfrom me: Enjoy! |

Thanks for the Calistan video. I'm still looking for 'I Don't Live Here Anymore' too. Surely someone out of 9000+ members has it? Anyone? Please?

For those of you wondering what the story is behind the YouTube recordings mentioned in the previous posts, you can find the story here:
http://adam-buxton.co.uk/ad/
Just scroll down to January 14, 2007 "Music News". The fourth and fifth paragraphs reveal all...
Edit: I figured I could also cut and paste the related two paragraphs from Adam Buxton's website here. Just remember, all credit belongs to Adam Buxton!
I haven’t given up hope that one day we’ll get it together to do a new music show that is cheaply produced but good and funny and focuses on underground bands as well as heavy hitters but for the time being here’s a bit of footage that I shot of Frank Black back in 2001. Frank (or Charles to give him his proper name) was in town warming up for some solo shows so I called him (as I still had his number from when we did a video for his song Dog Gone) and asked if he’d mind me coming along to John Henry rehearsal rooms in north London and filming a few numbers with my camcorder. I was about to get married so I had the idea that I’d get him to dedicate the songs to my wife and I’d play them to her on our wedding day. How’s that for taking advantage?! I’ve cut the dedications out of these videos as I’m putting them on You Tube and it would look weird, but Charles was so charming and generous about the whole thing and it really made our wedding day extra memorable. He did a big long speech before each one for my wife as if they were old friends and she was really knocked out when she saw them. I’ve never met Dave Grohl but I have him and Frank Black bracketed in my most hardest rocking yet lovely men section of my brain.
Even before he indulged my giant sentimental streak so outrageously Frank Black was always quite a hero of mine and his music means so much to me, both with the Pixies and in his solo capacity. The Pixies body of work is pretty lean and well known but Frank Black’s is a little tubbier, less celebrated and sometimes maligned by music snobs, keen to judge everything they hear by their favourite Pixies moment. I’m sentimentally prejudiced, but they’re missing out is all I can say. My clips aren’t exactly up to Nigel Godrich/Sohpie Muller standards (I had 2 mini DV cameras and no proper mic so the sound was shitty, hence the ludicrous amount of reverb I stuck on afterwards…) but if you’re a fan you should dig them. I asked Charles if he’d mind me posting these bits and he was fine about it so I may stick up a few more nuggets Joe and I filmed with him at a later date. And if you’re not yet a convert, buy Teenager Of The Year NOW and get on the Black bus! And don’t forget to check out From The Basement on I-tunes or here. Don’t be afraid to think ‘it would have been better with Adam Buxton presenting’! Though to be honest, you’d be slightly mental if you did… |
