I'm 28, but in a few weeks I get to officially embark on the last year of my twenties. For the steenking record, I've been an active/avid fan of Frank and/or the Pixies for 12 odd years. And by odd, I mean...odd. I'm never going to outgrow Frank. Nope.
As for what kind of music...gah. Good question. For the answer, I turned to an arm of google, our search engine friend, to give an answer of what the entire world wide web thinks Frank is all about! Incidently, googlism.com is a completely pointless yet somehow amumsing way to waste one's time. I recommend it.
Anyway, I plunked Frank's name in, and this came out (I took out the references that were obviously about the TV character of the same name, har har. bold stuff is what I think fits the best personally, italics are my side commentary):

so, (delicately)who is the oldest posting here?-
-this could be sheer suicide as i probably am (43)
but i can honestly say that me 'n the missus (semi/x girlfriend)
are participating in most 20 something social activities.
(in public and otherwise)and i can also say we don't look our
age either. heck what are forty something people supposed to look like?
i know it's pathetic sometimes to see the aging hipster in action
and we definitely aren't into that (i hope).
but .... any takers??

You got me beat, but not by too much (36). You probably don't have kids--it seems they age you quickly. My younger brother has less hair, a bigger waist line and 2 kids. I've known some hipster couples with kids who were not pathetic. Here's hoping!

| 36 also but kids aging you is a load of old bollocks. I think it is actually the opposite, they keep you young. (maybe not the first year though!!). I've two young daughters and they light up my life. Not into FB or the Pixies yet but give them time. |

That's right amigo.About the ~ simbol it goes on top of the letter n to form another letter from the Spanish alphabet (ours alphabet goes l m n ņ o p).In the public library computer I use the command to print that letter is Alt 164 (the 164 has to be from the numbers on the right side of the keyboard)don't know if it's pre set equally for all computers but give it a try.

Came across this site whilst looking for info on the so called remastered pixies albums. (Been a big fan of Pixies and then FB since Surfer Rosa in 1988)
All sorts of weird and wonderful stuff being debated here in these forums. I don't think I'll be able to keep away! For example, I now know the spanish for bollocks. Top quality - don't get this on BBC's Question Time |

Well...as my topic concludes, Age IS varied round here. Wise words who said how Once you get involved in the sound of FB you wont grow out of it...
I wish id have heard the delights of the pixies a lot sooner than i did. Though the impact would still have been the same.
who is the youngest fan?

yeah, i basically knew it's use: niņo. but lack of doing so makes it weak info i suppose. -but not aGNOstic?
(i'm just being silly)
the funny thing is that i grew up in california
and had many mexican friends and we weren't far from barrios etc.
and now live in Chicago where it's very ethnically diverse with
mexicanos probably the biggest (and yes some of our neighbors do come out and shoot guns into the sky on new years)and of course a healthy dose of Puerto ricans: they love to drive around with P.R. flags draped over their hoods of their car,honk horns and tie up traffic.
...and now the mexicans do that on Cinco de Mayo AND a seperate
Mexican independance day.
i'm not sure who started the whole thing but anyway through all this
i have never learned spanish!
i do learn more when i'm around someone from mexico trying to learn english
-then we kind of meet halfway.

I'm 30. I started listening to the Pixies in high school. Since then, I bought a house, got married and reproduced. I still don't feel like an adult.
To quote They Might Be Giants, "You're older than you've ever been & now you're even older. And now you're even older. And now you're even older."
Anyway... Americana works. I've heard the term a few times. Basically it's anything with a "roots music" kind of sound like bluegrass/country/blues type thing. Personally, I don't know how to categorize Frank. Frank is Frank. Frank is good. |

get outta town!
on another note there is a kickass brew made out there in Oregon
somewhere (maybe Portland)that you can probably get most anywhere
as it is around here in Chicago - Dead Guy Ale -no kidding,
it's not a fad beer with a name as a gimmick as it's actually really
good somewhere between Guiness and Chimay although closer to Chimay.
(i forget the name of the brewery but most of their stuff is good
-i think they are also the ones that make a japanese recipe beer that
kicks ass and is cheaper to buy here rather than the actual jaoanese product)
