Go forth Denis and we shall all live vicariously through you for the evening.
For the record, Sam, you convinced me. I'll be eternally grateful for this.
(while you're here... Is "Why I Hate Women" worth buying?)

Threshold Apprehension arrived in VA today. It is beautiful, and Get Away Oil is a great FB/BF B-side. It could be the answer/responce to Snake Oil, but I just imagine it being slipped into the setlist of an acoustic solo show.

Hm...I'm not digging Get Away Oil. Sounds like a toss-off to me, which it probably is. Murky production too. I can't imagine listening to it again. Of course, Threshold Apprehension is awesome, though. |

Well thanks for the kind words. I hope I'll be able to make it, though it won't be easy, with the kids at home and all.

Like your style as ever Denis. Short and concise, and i always thought that French people tended to over elaborate and be over creative with language. Well that myth has been disproved.
Are you going to make the show tonight? |

I thought it was supposed to be on iTunes weeks ago. Is it ever going to be on?

It's definitely a b-side sorta thing.
I dont get it anymore... Didnt somebody said Get Away Oil was the piano-drums song on blackfrancis.net ?
It is DEFINITELY not that song. Or any of the three other songs on blackfrancis.net. |

"Threshold Apprehension" sounds really good as a single. It also doesn't seem to be any kind of "radio edit", though I haven't analyzed it next to what leaked. |

Threshold Apprehension 7" has arrived in Lewisville, TX. According to the customs label, it was sent June 5. Sounds really good. I just put it on. Nice, fat drums on the a-side.
The cover is the same one as 1965 posted on a previous page.
If there's any coupon or code for a free download here, I don't see it. Not that it matters to me. I prefer making my own vinyl rips anyway. |

They have copies of the single available at Gibert Joseph - St Michel in Paris.
I bought mine today! But as I no longer have a turntable, I can't listen to the B-Side... What a delicious tragic life!

You can hear 30 seconds of "Get Away Oil" here:

It really sounds like "Snake Oil" without drums.

I just received an email stating that my records have been shipped. If this is anything like my Christmass experience, I should be receiving them about mid-September, and one week later they will be available absolutely everywhere for around 50 cents a piece or so. |

Recieved mine this morning. I too haven't had an email though, so it was a suprise.
Oh wait, I did get one, an hour after it arrived.

When did this get sent out? Should people who have ordered it have recieved it by now, or are many still waiting like me? I'm all anxious now!

I've often gotten that impression with the post-Pixies albums.

It looks great, a bit like a Jesus And Mary Chain album. It's totaly retro, except it's not video/TV pixel we got there, it's clearly a computer grid of pixels like an internet compression, could this be from a possible youtube black francis homemade video for T A ??!
Between this new artwork, the small but looking great blackfrancis.net, and the possibility of having a Brood painting for the artwork of Bluefinger, I notice the "visual" side of Charles Thompson's work is totaly back in form! It might not be very important for pure music fans, but a LOT of people care about that. I guess I do to, a little. It's good to have good looking artwork along with good sounding music. Now WHAT is a good looking artwork? Well, everybody has different tastes, let's just say if you stay simple, it cant be bad. Photoshop easy effects (the threated FMRM picture) or letter with brown reflects (the first FB and the C's LP) are not my idea of simplicity.
