I apologize for my ignorance, but what the hell is triple a, and how can I find out if there are any triple a stations in my area (Atlanta). I posted in another thread that I called the biggest college station over here (WRAS Atlanta) on Monday and requested I Burn Today but they didn't have it, so I don't know what the deal is there; it's the one station over here that I would think would have it for sure.

Also... I think some stations think they can't play it yet... (ie 89.3 the Current)because it's not out in stores until July 19th.

Radio K said they don't have a copy but they would play it if they did... I told em I would donate a copy to them if they didn't get one.

It was the fist time for me to hear "I Burn Today". At all.
So cool and laid back.
By now I must have heard it a dozen times in a row.
I want HC! Now!!

Tom Morton on BBC Radio Scotland has now played "I Burn Today" about 6 times: http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland/view/show.shtml?tom

See Wednesday's playlist. Actually, he is still playing tracks from "Show me your Tears" - I think there is a fair chance he will make "Honeycomb" his album of the week.

For those who have yet to hear "Atom in my Heart" go to:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland/view/show.shtml?brand_new_opry

And click listen again: it is about 34 minutes into the show.

How about 3 songs? Go to:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland/view/show.shtml?janice

And listen again, the very last song is "Strange Goodbye" - it follows at the end of the Pogues song.

Iain Anderson played "I Burn Today" on Monday and Tuesday evenings this week - he played it again on the Tuesday because of favourable comments from listeners:

Yet nore airplay from Iain Anderson, he played Dark End of the Street on Friday in the second half of the show, if you want to use the listen again feature:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland/view/show.shtml?iain

Also, you have the chance to win Honeycomb - it is Radio 1/Radio Scotland's Vic Galloway's pick of the week (warning, the question is very, very tricky):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/scotland/


Has there been much airplay elsewhere?

PS - It seems as if Frank was featured on Radio 6's roundtable on Friday:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/roundtable/tracklisting_20050708.shtml

I wonder what David Gedge made of the tracks? Listen again is available - but not when a colleague is in your room :(

I listened to some of his show on Friday night, but evidently missed it. I did send an encouraging email over the weekend asking for more tracks. Looks like Scotland is sewn up though :)

I just listened to Steve Lamacq's Roundtable (see link above) - it is about one hour into the show. It is not great litening, to be honest. David Gedge ("sounds dreary... old man at a piano") gave "Go Find your Saint" 5 out of 10. Steve Levine seemed to quite like the track but then went on to say that Frank had been awful on Jools Holland. This seemed to affect his view and he also gave it 5 out of ten. Eddie Argos was most positive; he went for 6 or 7 out of 10! What else? Lamacq himself said he preferred it to the Catholics, but David Gedge disagreed.

But then David Gedge (I think) said he hated Van Morrison :/

For anyone who is using Firefox, if you use the MediaPlayer Connectivity extension, you get the option to play streams directly in the media player it uses, rather than, say, the BBC's own player. The advantage is you can navigate by the second, rather than only having the option to go forward 5 or 15 mins (in the BBC player).

Thats just awful, I thought Frank was great on Jools, I'm going to go watch the video again to doublecheck and then write a letter to my MP about this.

Maybe not the letter bit heh.

actually, has this been posted yet? I can't find it... I'll delete this if it has.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/later/interviews/frankblack.shtml



We spoke to Frank Black on his new album 'Honeycomb ' and on becoming a Pixie again.


Have you ever watched Later...with Jools Holland before?

Yes I've seen it many times over the years.

Are you familiar with any of the other acts playing tonight?

Well I'm acquainted with Martha Wainwright. I also feel in very lofty company being with someone like Van Morrison. I am just shocked to be here!

You've worked with a number of different musicians on your new album Honeycomb..

Yes we recorded in Nashville with some very well regarded people in the music business (Steve Cropper, Sid Tepper, Roy Bennett to name a few ) so it was kind of a big deal for me. The players were from the three big studios in the area and are part of what is referred to as the 'Southern Soul' movement of the 1960's and 70's.

What can fans expect from the new album?

The players are very soul. They play a lot of soul music. Of course they are known for playing with people like Elvis, Aretha Franklin and Johnny Horton. These guys are all in their sixties. So I don't even know where to begin. They played on every hit record in the late 1960's. So their prowess is a little indescribable. I like to think that I held my own! I don't know if I did. But they were very respectful and they gave me a slap on the back and all that.


You recently reformed the Pixies for a reunion tour. Was that an enjoyable experience?

Yes it was very pleasant and we really didn't want it to end. I don't know that the band are back together like it was before. But we're not really saying no gigs. We're doing it because we're getting paid a lot of money! We also enjoy playing together because we're a good band, we do have a lot of camaraderie, a lot of camaraderie that I sort forgot that we had. It's very nice!

Any plans to release anything as a group again?

I don't know, I don't know if there is really any demand or not. There is demand for concert tickets but I think that's a different sort of thing. So we're very wary of just going into the studio just for the sake of cashing in. We don't mind making cash, but we don't want to cash in with any attempt of the new art we've just made. I hate to use all these clichés but we have to go and reinvent ourselves before we can go back into the studio. Because a lot of time has passed and we don't really want to become a mockery or a sham.

Could you tell us a little bit about the song you'll be playing for us tonight?

I'll be playing a song called 'I Burn Today'. It's a semi cryptic, semi poetic telling of my recent life I suppose. It's all from the pages of my heart.

I don't know whether FB was nervous, but he paused for a while right before "our house was filled..." verse, repeating C and G over and over before he kicked in.

Still, from my biased point of view, Frank was great
