Why does everyone like me so much? All my work with the Catholics sounds like the same song over and over with different lyrics.
Many of my songs have references to lesser known musicians, or places in an attempt to make myself look eclectic and awesome, but it's a tired song writing technique at best, getting more annoying as time goes on. Who cares about Mose Allison? I don't. Even my references to random people, which are all stretches, boring.
My solo works as Frank Black contain songs that weren't good enough to become Pixies songs, so I just randomly tossed them along side a terrible cover of "Hang On to your Ego" and a stupid song about mustaches.
Which makes me think of my covers. I haven't actually done one cool cover of any song, period. Ever. Try me. No one likes "Jesus and Mary Chain". They don't even like themselves.
My music videos are a poor attempt at artsiness, and they fail miserably at it. They're all long and boring, even videos I did with Pixies. The director vomitted twice during the taping of "Monkey Gone to Heaven".
Since my solo workings aren't very popular, I have to cover Pixies songs to keep the crowd happy. No one wants all sad songs at a concert.
What? No valid arguements from the peanut gallery? Oh wait, that was precognition... |

Hey shit-head, fuck off and go back to the linkin park forum because no one wants you hear if you're gonna act like a dick. It's one thing to say you don't like his solo work and it's another to come here and say this shit on your first post so get the fuck away from us because we don't want your negativity.
Oh yeah, and I'm now a member...

Seriously, what kind of person makes the effort to seek out a Frank Black website, sign up, and post an semi-readable tirade about how much they dislike someone. You don't like it, fine. Obviously that's subjective since there's not even the remotest attempt to back up any of the drivel that's spilling out onto your keyboard, but how desperately do you seek attention? I feel sorry for you.

I'm wishing right now that I didn't respond to this. Everyone just needs to ignore this ass-hole. All he wants is attention

Wow! Finally! A post from Frank Black himself! Gee Mr. Black, how come at every show you always seem to be singing directly to me? As far as your question goes, I guess we like you because of all the things you mentioned. Isn't it swell? Golly, Mr. Black, I'm sure glad you stopped by. Be sure to let me know what hotel you're staying at so I can come over and kick you in the balls. Ciao!

These forums are full of nerds. Especially those who are attacking itsmefrank.
Anyone who who attacks itsmefrank and not the content of his post is making what is called an ad hominem argument. This is like say "You're ugly, so why should i listen to what you have to say?" I'd go even further and say that anyone whoever doesn't understand that this type of post is totally in keeping with punk ethics, doesn't really understand what made the pixies work in the first place. It's on the Frank Black forum, better yet. Get a life people, FB himself would laugh.
As to the content of the post: "Hang On to Your Ego" was a pixies cover (a bad one in my opinon) before it was one of FB's.
The Head On video still makes me smile, Here Comes Your Man vid is still alright. I view FB's renditions of Pixies songs to BE cool covers, including the Gouge Away one on the new EP. It's easy to say FB isn't as good as the Pixies, but consider he's coming from a place that no one else has tread, which might lead to places and decisions that aren't really choices. Perhaps FB is merely a natural progression rather than a definitive artistic statement like the Pixies.
When push comes to shove, at times it may come down to whether you admire the music or the man more. That dictates your perspective.
Personally, I'm in awe of the man and the music, but more so the man which if you knew me, says a lot.

Since Frank has posted recently on this board, why not ask him if it's funny hisself?
If itsmefrank is actually a fan, and just trying to keep with "punk ethics," then bravo to him, ha-ha. One thing that kind of stands out in this regard is that if he were NOT a fan, then why the hell does he know so much about FB? I don't like Celene Dion, but I don't hate her with such a passion that I go looking through all the biographies and such that have been written about her, SOLELY so I'll have "reasons" to back up my claim. itsmefrank would have to have a damn good reason to actually HATE FB, not just dislike him so much. Usually when you hate a musician you just change the station, not listen to the music intently to pick up on individual chords that sound repetetive, etc...
I could be completely wrong, but I don't know why itsmefrank would have any other kind of hatred for Frank & the C's besides that of someone who simply isn't a fan. The possibility does exist that neo is correct, but then again...
Still pretty harsh words, especially since it looks like Frank's "punk" days are over. Besides, he was the "sad punk," and never really seemed to fit in with the likes of Rancid, Bad Religion, etc, etc.
Wouldn't it be funny if itsmefrank really WAS FB? I sense paranoia coming on...
