Erm...what are the weird creatures on the inlay of 'Dog in the Sand'?
Are they little hermaphrodites?
On the first page thing they apear to be a type of worm and the others apear to be various parasites and some parasites are hermaphrodites.
Think about world peace...

What do you think the "one thing" Frank can't stand is?
And 'Abstract Plain'.
North or south? |

how, only how did he get the idea of the name "Billy Radcliff" ? i mean, this is not the usual "joe blow" or "jack black" or whatever. what does it mean ? where does it come from ???
any serious ideas ?

the only logical thing i can add is maybe he had the 4 syllable melody 'doo-bee doo-bee' and needed a name to fill the gap.
you like that, doo-bee doo-bee?
i got plenty more where that came from. |

Are those Catholic b-sides compilations ever gonna come out?
I believe on the last Q&A with the man himself this question was asked and he said it's a combination of space and time hence SPIME, also it was something like a reference to Mose Allison.

it's grim up north (KLF), that's why it is abstract there. it is as easy as to understand that doolittle is...you know, corny.
what am i saying ? don't even know what corny means. help, i'm slowly drifting out of range .....

I guess I'd have to ask the question about the type of cheese that Frank avoids, just to test my theory about Edam tasting like Pete Samprass's insoles.
This is a high class bureau de change, not some Punch & Judy show on the seafront at Margate! |

it is technically a "black francis" question: what song do you think he was referring to in "trompe le monde"? and who is the guy named joe? i've always wondered what this cryptic song meant...
"We went to the store
And bought something great
Which samples this song
From washington state
Go little record go
It is named by
Some guy named joe
And the words
Are the letters of the words
Said
Electrically played
For outer space and those of they who paid
This song is twice ocurred
And now its time to go Away on holiday"

Maybe Joey Santiago named the record?
As for Billy Radcliffe, that really sounds like it's based on a science fiction story or something.

Could this have something to do with the album sent with Voyager II of music, symbols, and words of the different world cultures?

I think the outdoor/outside cover art photos were taken at the ruins of Llano Del Rio Cooperative Communityin Antelope Valley, CA (you know, like the song...) |

I've always wondered about this, but always forgot to ask...
until now.
Did Frank strum along with the TMBG songs (Particle Man / Spy / Mammal)?
Without listening to it again but trying to recollect, I'm sure Mammal was just TMBG, but what about Spy and Particle Man?

The DITS pix were taken around San Francisco--there are ruins of an old saltwater bath house or something--I think it's a state park now maybe...But that's where they were taken.

it is ukrainian for the number six.
[edit] although Vovat beat me to it here
I've always thought of it as a follower of Isis for some reason.

Does anyone here know much about The Catholics tour history of '98, specifically the Lyle/Rich situation?
quote:
>>When was the last time you played out?
A couple of weeks ago. We opened for Pearl Jam in the Northwest with our new guitar player [Rich Gilbert, formerly of Human Sexual Response]. He joined a few months ago; he's replacing Lyle.
What month did Rich.G start playing and when did Lyle leave?
Did Lyle make random appearances throughout the year up until the Pearl Jam gigs? |
