Right now I like 'Dead' a lot and I'm lovin' the
acoustic 'Duke of Earl' I recently got from

Most of Pistolero goes rocketing around regularly - tends to be I switched you.
And this year it is my ambition to get my mitts on a copy of Oddballs (I've got much less to achieve this year so I've had to scale down the new years resolutions)

That's an interesting tidbit, didn't know that, thanks FB (and as always thanks for stopping in). I also like that track, gonna give it a listen-again now - though I admit I never really noticed the keys in that song.

BLACK LETTER DAY
Every day I work
Every day's the same
The sun is going down when I get home
And every day gets worse
Every day I curse the one who
Left me here alone
Every night I take
Something for my sleep
Every night I dream the world away
And when the morning breaks
I wake and see it's just another
Long black letter day
[lovin' it 'cause, Hotdamn, The Man nailed it once again!]

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ahhhhhh,
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah,
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh......
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ahhhhhhh.......
I'm going away
I'm going far away
I'm going further than the land that meets the sky
And I won't rest
Until I'm very far
I'll walk for many days and walk through many nights
I leave today
I smell the death
I smell it very near
I'm going away before that death is coming here
I hear a sound
I hear my enemies
I hear them getting louder, louder everyday
My enemies
I'll run and run
And I won't have a home
I don't know when I'll stop my running I don't know
Won’t have a friend
Won’t talk to anyone
Oh will I ever stop my running? I don't know
Oh I don't know
Oh will I ever know?
Will I ever stop my running? I don't know
Oh I don't know
YEP, 1826
Ok Jon, one more beer here, 3 more Frank songs, and then
I'm headed down to the Idle Hour...

WESTERN STAR (from Daisy's FRANK BLACK RADIO SHOW)
Now Kathleen's headed skyward
Standing up on piles of plywood
And all she thinks about is how she
Looks like Heroes-period Bowie
And her figure blocks the light
And she takes away the night
And Kathleen's dancing to the new bolero

Dog Gone aka "News is gonna break 2002"
The banjo is fun to hear. The synth orchestra and piano are a bit corny, but fun, too. |

Great guitar and great vocals (e.g., "I could talk, talk, talk, talk, myself to death, yack,yack,yack,yack,yack,yack,yack,yack,yack, but I believe I would only lose my breath"...)
And, what in the hell does "C P L 5 9 3 H" mean and why is it in the song?
Hey! Did anyone ever answer this question? I'd like to know too and I can't find an answer. Can anyone help me?

Thanks for the enlightenment, OmniStupid ThreadMaster.
It's so nice of You to grace us with Your presence here, notwithstanding the infrequency of Your visits to this thread of Shangri-La...
[and no kfs, OmniStupid ThreadMaster never did answer my question, but He sure answered yours promptly. He never has liked me after that time He warned me for exceeding my posting limit here on His thread. Don't ever get on His bad side, He's a *&^%$%%^^&!]

sorry oldman, you mean this one: why is it in the song? i'm not sure whether the song is about the car or the girl. Us britishstans aren't as deep as you americans when writing songs about cars.

I've always had better relationships with my cars/trucks
than I've had with the women I've fallen in love with...
...so yeah, I'd rather listen to a car song instead of a
love song any day
END OF MILES
lovin it cause it's a helluva car song!

Billy Radcliffe
Bad Harmony
Stupid Me
I Want Rock & Roll
If It Takes All Night
I'll Be Blue

I wonder if Frank looks at that list of terrific songs and just says, "My brain made me up some dang good songs, huh?" Or maybe he says, "Rubbish, all of it!" Possibly he says, "I AM AN X45t ROBOTIC SIMULATOR".
I don't know what he's thinking. Could be alot of different things I didn't mention. Weird.
Let's drink until we can't feel feelings anymore. |

To Old Man
I see... you already like FBATC and Pistolero as they are!
You're lucky. I could never really appreciate the Western Star / Solid Gold big rock style.
To me that kind of song is more for Mould and Mascis.
After TOTY, I think the 2/2 country punk style (Jumping Beans, Modern Age, Llano del rio, Are you headed, San Antonio Tx and many more...) is what fitted the most perfectly to Frank.
It just didn't make me think to anybody else. |

Handyman
The Man Who Was Too Loud
The Jacques Tati
Sister Isabel
Frank Black & Teenage Fanclub – The John Peel Sessions
WHY AM I LOVING THESE?
Cause these songs kick serious ass!! Plus it’s a new undiscovered gem to add to my FB collection. Thanks OMIACC!!
I must share the album notes from the Man.
“In the spring of 1994 I was in England, and once again John Peel was kind enough to offer me a session. I was alone with the acoustic guitar, and so I called my old friend Chas Banks, who manages Teenage Fanclub, to see if they would record the session with me. The Fanclubs and I had previously only socialized backstage at some lovely gin mill or sitting around in an exhaust-filled tour bus, so to actually “cram jam” (rehearse very quickly) for a Peel session seemed a step up. We did Otis Blackwell’s Handyman a la 1977, and it continues to be one of my favorite recordings. The other cover was a Del Shannon song I had recently fallen in love with, Sister Isabel. On this song, Norman and Raymond instantly added their own intro, which to me sounds big in the Back in Black sense of the word. I had a couple of new songs, The Jacques Tati (I wonder if those Glaswegian background vocals could ever be matched – truly precious) and The Man Who Was Too Loud, my tribute to Jonathan Richman. I must that producer Ted De Bono who has a gentle voice and a professional style conductive to the under-the-gun-but-still-fun environment of a Peel session.”

Now, those are proper album notes, fuckin aye!
especially enjoy these references: CRAM-JAM, EXHAUST-FILLED TOUR BUS, "BACK IN BLACK" AC/DC, UNDER-THE-GUN-BUT-FUN ENVIRONMENT OF A PEEL SESSION..
