Love 'Jumping Beans'. Those solo acoustic versions are superior to the full band version, I feel.
Great performance! The video quality is surprisingly good. Seems like it was shot last year.

Wow! What an amazing Jumping Beans!
And totally agree with you Ziggy! Solo is superior so far on that one |

Heh, the last couple of days I have been blasting some TMBG. I noticed they're due to come here in the autumn and play Flood in its entirety so I must snap up the tickets soon. I will check out that podcast episode soon too, thanks. |

Continuing with They Might Be Giants apparently BF judged a video contest for TMBG? https://magnetmagazine.com/2015/03/04/phoning-it-in-i-was-dancing-in-the-lesbian-bar/

My TMBG podcast Don't Let's Start: A Podcast About They Might Be Giants has gone over just about every collaboration TMBG and Frank have had, including his performing with them on stage multiple times, and Flansburgh directing Los Angeles, and our new episode in a month or two is going to discuss Oddballs. We also interviewed Brian Doherty who played with Frank and even played a rare band rehearsal/demo he gave us!
Speaking of my favorite bands colliding, this just went up on youtube, Cracker hosting 120 Minutes, and there's two mentions of Frank Black, including an interview with Frank I had never seen before:

I'm down the mother of all Youtube rabbit holes. Some highlights:
I found out Zach Galifianakis had his own talk show and Los Angeles was the music between ads.
I also found him singing Sheena Is A Punk Rocker with Graham Parker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YnUmhJwYLM&t=1s&ab_channel=GrahamParker-Topic
Danny De Vito and Black crossover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IiDbwxPOss&ab_channel=Waxploitation
119 Years Ago with Reeves Gabriel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIYAS5exiOE&ab_channel=ReevesGabrels-Topic
Which brought me back to BF, Reeves, Grohl and Bowie doing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDmbjeGTlrs&ab_channel=MT-TVC15
Here he is on backing vocals and guitar on some ex-Guns N Roses' guy's record https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keiG1DHxMMs&ab_channel=kazmetal

Can't remember what I thought of it at first but I know that for about ten years now I have been using the phrase "that's just how some things do not materialize" on a very regular basis.
And what a guitar solo towards the end, wow!

Thanks to The Maharal for linking this, great interview!
I definitely felt something similar with The Vanishing Spies. Listening to the cassette on my car tapedeck in 1994, I used to think, "Man this song just throws off the pace of the whole album" or something like that. It was the first song by fbf that I just did not like. Now of course I love it. It still feels a bit incongruous to the first four songs of TOTY, but in a good way.
And cool to see him plugging Dylan and the Surfers. |

Isaac Brock on BF! (This is eleven years old but I just stumbled across it..)
Frank Black, "The Vanishing Spies"
Isaac Brock: Not one of my favorite songs off that record, but it's not bad. His solo albums are kind of hit-or-miss. At first, I felt like it was kind of wanky in a weird way, and then after I listened to it, I was like, "This is fucking great." Most of the songs on Teenager Of The Year were pretty damn good, like that song "Headache." That's a fuckin' great song. Probably the reason I bought the record—actually, I was gonna buy the record whether there's any good songs on it or not. I fuckin' love that guy. I haven't bought the last couple he's done. I'm sure I will. I haven't really had time to be in a record store buying shit for a while, to be honest.

I can't find the post where someone mentioned a commercial
where the music sounded like a Pixies song.
There's familiar music at the end of this Chevy Cruze ad.

A backstage story that rivals the Grant Hart yog(h)urt incident.
http://cwas.hinah.com/interview/?id=90
quote:
David [Berman, Silver Jews] looks surprised. "Whoa, really?" He says, lighting another cigarette, I think of cancer and respiratory machines that look like encroaching insects. David nods, "Let me tell you a story." He says. "I remember years ago I got into a fight with Frank Black backstage at a concert. It was right after 'Starlite Walker' had come out…"
Suddenly the phone rings. David picks it up. "Oh you're late? You're canceling? We're old friends, hey? Yeah." He puts the phone down, visibly upset now. I have to remind him that he's in the middle of the soon-to-be-famous Frank Black story. "Oh, yeah." He says through a ribbon of smoke, "So, after the Frank Black fight I called Laurence and I knew that he's a real master of the press stuff and I knew the Brits like little gossipy things like this but I didn't know…what they did basically was they told the story of the fight from my point of view and they had a picture of Frank in profile and then a picture of me in profile facing each other and we both kinda had angry looks on our faces and the headline said ‘Jew Baits Black’. I loved it. Anyway, you know I've always felt that ever since then Frank Black's career has gone down the tubes. It was after his second album came out and I liked that. I had gone backstage to ask him to produce something of mine and he'd been this total bitch, you know I hate people who treat you with contempt who're like ‘who the fuck do you think you are coming backstage into my dressing room?’ and such and so what I'd done was I'd taken the CD and had brought it to give it to him to listen to and I like just went phssssss..." David takes a Josh Rouse CD off the table and imitates throwing it. "Right at his head like a Chinese throwing star and it went tchhhh and kinda glanced off the top of his forehead and his manager just freaked out and called the police and was like ‘I want this man arrested for attempted assault on Frank Black, and I was ‘oh god, bullshit man!’ I was like, ‘you're such a pussy, Frank Black, you're gonna have this guy arrest me for that? Come on.’ So they handcuffed me and took me out to the police car. All the bouncers in the club and the police were like, ‘god this guy's been…’ they probably were basically saying behind my back, ‘this guy's a fucking complaining New York Jew’ you know, bitching da da da and they finally came back and said they'd decided not to press charges."

Bah, I got excited about this for a second and then I Googled and realised Linehan (Father Ted co-creator/writer) was referring to the Pope.
