This week's show is now available on the BBC iPlayer. Please visit the link any time between now and
the start of the next programme
Where do I start? Because there's so much to tell you about - so much bristling aural content - in this
week's programme, it's difficult to know where to begin.
Let's start with the man whose unfettered imagination, wily chord changes, and penchant for dynamic
shifts and bellowings that'd shake black holes off their hinges changed music forever. Without Pixies
there'd be no Nirvana. It's impossible to gauge the exact depth and breadth of the Boston band's
influence. But if you have friends who don't feel an affinity with Gouge Away, Gigantic, Wave Of
Mutilation, Where Is My Mind? etc. then I would seriously reconsider your relationship with. One day,
they may bring a James Morrison CD into the house.
How quaint! I said "CD".
Anyway, the man who wrote the songs listed above was Charles Michael Kitteridge Thompson IV aka
Black Francis aka (following Pixies' initial split) Frank Black. And in this week's show we have a play for
the recently re-discovered acoustic session he recorded for me in Mold on 17 May 1994. It's ace. Hands
down...
...FRANK BLACK - 'The Man Who Was Too Loud ( Acoustic Session 1994 )'
Boston, US
FRANK BLACK - 'The Men In Black ( Acoustic Session 1994 )'
Boston, US
FRANK BLACK - 'Calistan ( Acoustic Session 1994 )'

Here are the tracks (didn't know how to re-encode without generation loss, so they're in .flac). Adam Walton's talk bits are included. He gets a few facts wrong...
