| About the covers album, I hope it doesn't sound like "the great late daniel Johnston", where the covers are just a deny of Jonston music (except Tom Wait). Personnality is the fuel of the music, not compressers, equalizers and reverbs. |

Really? I've been meaning to get it since it was released. How is Beck's cover of True Love Will Find You In The End? That's my fave DJ song, you know.

| I think that one is allright but not very original. It got beck's "cool country" voice. Sounds like Odelay (the song). Perhaps I'm wrong because i've just heard it once. The general feeling of the album is "eltonjohnish". |

| white pepper is an excellent album, as is mink car (to a lesser extent). it's just like honeycomb, it seems that true fans of an artist are less willing to accept changes in a band's style. i hated white pepper at first, but it grew on me and now i love it. mink car, well i haven't really given it much of a chance, due to my personal vendetta with the Johns. but that is neither here nor there. |

Sometimes as a fan you don't have to make any effort to appreciate an artist new sound. I liked honeycomb at the first listen.
But I hated Frank Black and the Catholics, and now I like it.
White Pepper first made me think to Oasis. Now it's allright.
But Mink Car ruined years of trying not to listen the pet shop boys, choosing the supermarket and the haircutters carefully!
Arghh... and then came that song "now it's so loud..." dontknowhat...
I think they wanted to do like Frank with Hang on to your ego: a disco move.
Yeah, it's quite close. But missed, oh so missed!!

Very rocky that sample.
"She's an angel" is great who's that?
Frank Black covering "Road Movie to Berlin" seems greatissimo. The best of all, as usual.
"Don't let start" funny eighties meat puppet sound
Docteur worm accoustic... hey it works!
End of the tour, the singer wants to sing too well. Like the new pop bands on Mtv.

Personal vendetta? What, did they dig up your garden or something?

Interesting contribution of Santiago. A soft dreamy touch.
I'd love the pixies to make a really soft album. Softer than Bossanova.

I'm just checking out 'Crackerjack' now, nice sound. Nice to see Joey working with different artists, besides doing soundtrack work.
Grotesque, yeah, a real mellow Pixies album could be interesting, even though I generally like my Pixies with an edge. But then, as Frank says in the B-Sides sleeve notes (in reference general crowd reaction to Wave UK), "Sometimes mellow can be more rockin'." :)

| It's like the "don't come close" by the ramones (on road to ruin): tough people can experiment the mellow brillantly. |
