Here is my idea for a Frank Black 'best of' album: Gordon Lightfoot's greatest hit's albums- Gord's Gold Vol. I & II- featured mostly re-recordings of the songs so it was worthwhile for people who already had the old albums...
"THE BEST OF FRANK BLACK"
Everything recorded live, FB and TOTY songs done in the Catholics style, COR-present songs done in the style of the first two albums.
And I see the album sleeve like "Sand in the Vaseline" with all the album and single covers pictured. |

I wouldn't mind. No live tracks though. I'd rather hear re-recordings. But not just playing the same song the same way, it'd have to be like Calistan on the Hello studio recordings where the re-recordings doesn't even resemble the original song. Then I'd be all for an album of re-recordings. I wouldn't call it or try to make it a "best of" album. I've never liked the phrase "best of" with music. It implies filler material which I don't think FB puts out.

I'd love to hear TOTY with some balls to it.

| TOTY has more balls than the cast of Queer as Folk. |

Quite the opposite, TOTY has *NO* balls. I've discovered that this is why I do not like the album. It has no warmth, it's about as digital as the 1s and 0s this message is coming through. It's flat, lacks complete dimension. The production is just terrible. That's why I do not like it so much.

Dear brothers-and-sisters-in-Frank:
let us agree on a number of songs we like most, five or so, but the interesting thing i want to know is why, and i would prefer an straight personal reason or because we relate this song to something important to us than any other reason.
predicando con el ejemplo (Preaching with the example) i choose Western Star. normally i make a joke on myself when i am flirting with girls in the chat I say i am like the vietcong, shoots with everything it has in every occasion, well is quite more serious since I have a vietnam flag presiding my living room that sent me the embassy in spain with two very intresting books. well i changed my
msn topic to "I am a pistolero im not shakin in my boots" the same day i had to help a very good friend just by bein awake and calling her each hour. next day i had an important business meeting
so I excused myself by being a little dizzy briefly explaining whhat happened. I think the meeting was successful, the only thing i can say that i had western star in my head all the time, it is a very fine song with garra (claw) as we say and i like to share it with my friends
saludos

| I meant "live" to 2 track , not concert "live". I'd hate to have a great, alternate version of HOSTESS W/ THE MOSTESS with some losers shouting HEY and TAME in the background. |
