I would love to hear his 21st Century equivalents of songs like Two Reelers/Los Angeles/Marsist. I still cannot say I like Goodbye Lorraine, Horrible Day etc. What goes round, comes around they say.
Also, bring back the theremin!!
p.s. don't get me wrong. I still like his latest albums but there are always one or two tracks that I tend to skip. FB, TOTY, DITS have no such weakness.

| Even better. Custom-modified to go up to 11 maybe. I remember seeing the Pixies back in college on a TV show called (?) Midnight Hour, hosted by David Sanborn and Jules (guy in Squeeze) and he had a half stack, if memory serves (and it may not). That's the only reason for the half-stack comment. (Just for the record, a half stack is a 100W amp with a single 4-speaker cabinet hooked up, while a full stack has 2 cabinets (8 speakers) hooked to the same 100W amp). |

Next album should be a double-CD, one straight country & western, the other one Pistolero++. Then all of us get's satisfied.

I guess none of you heard FB & the C's perform the slower, moodier songs from SMYT?
Once you've heard these ones, you'll forget about all the distorted songs from the past!
Can't wait for more pedal steel and piano-based songs in the near future.

I have to disagree with ya chicken. I saw them live twice on this tour, and if I noticed anything its how the Catholics excel as an alternative/rock'n'roll band. The country tracks seem weak by comparison.
Bring the noise.

| Is that a Turbonegro reference, or is everybody in Scandanavia a sailor? By the way, yes please, I want the rock. Actually, despite many naysayers, I think it IS time for a new Pixies album, so we could get both a crazy, screeching indie-rock Pixies record and soulful, lovelorn Alt-Country Catholics record. Now that would be nice! |

I'll take whatever Frank puts out, but I wouldn't mind his next album losing some of the pedal steel and completely blasting me away with rock and/or roll.
Also Frank needs to get with the times and release a poppy single with Santana on lead guitar.

| Gak? It's probably more Gram Parsons than it is Hank Williams, hence the alt-country tag. Yeah, it's gay, I didn't invent it, but its the modern description (I believe Gram called his music Cosmic Folk Music or something like that, but then again, he was high as shit most of the time) I guess you could argue that it's more Lee Hazelwood than it is Gram Parson, and call it country-pop, but these days that means Shania Twain or something like that. Frank had some kind of description of his own music that I now forget, but it totally ignored his exploration of country music, which obviously figures squarely into his recent output. |

| I can't stand the alt-country tag either, even when applied to guys it makes more sense with - Ryan Adams, Elliott Smith (god rest) etc. |

Rock is ok, but one more album with the country thing would be better!
Wasn't our member Ben-something saying that his next record would be different than anything he released before.
Maybe an orchestra
or maybe
Counrty-electro!!!!
finally!

In Austin about twenty-five years ago you'd hear talk of "Cosmic Country". |

I'd love to hear some experimental country, a kinda cross between TOTY and DITS/BLD/SMYT. Something like Dog of the Year or Teenager in the Sand.

To my ears, Frank wields the country influence the same way the Rolling Stones and Neil Young do. And when the Catholics do country-ish songs, they still sound like a rock band to me. I think country music fits in with Frank's vision of rock (or at least it fits in with mine). Look back to the early rock musicians. Plenty of those guys had played country music at some point.
And it's interesting to me that Frank namechecks Freddy Fender (a country/Tex-Mex guy) in "I Want Rock n Roll".
To me, Show Me Your Tears IS rock. 100%. |

A little less country and a little more rock gets my vote.
Didn't Frank say in a somewhat recent interview that he's been listening to more jazz and classical stuff? I think we might be in for some radical mutations. |

Henry sloan in my soca soul,
Im not ashamed to say, I want rock and roll.
I like all Franks, but I think I still like the rock Frank the best. I think he's depressed, hence SMYT.
True cynics are nothing more than dissapointed idealists. |

| What I'd like is to hear Frank Black play on record like he does on the stage. In cocnert, songs like 'The Snake' and 'Massif Central' sounds as hard rockin' as anything from Teenager or 'Surfer'. For all of the 'live to two tracks' thing, Frank's current music sounds much tamer then the versions of these songs he performs on stage. I've never heard 'Batholomeu' live, but if I \had, I bet it would've sounded like the elder brother of Nimrod's son. |
