I concur. St. Francis Damnit is better. |

I love the solo Jane Queen of Love... if I had one complaint about Honeycomb, which, though not my favourite FB record, I can't put down at the moment - my only complaint woudl be that the songs that i've heard fromm that album as solo accoustic I prefer that way..! 'Sunday Sunny...', 'Today I burn', classic songs, and to my mind, better with less production. Not that there is anything wrong with the Honeycomb production technically, it's just not so much my cup of tea...
The tri-progression (or whatever) was a cool idea - allround great episode...
And looking forward to No9...

I totally agree. honeycomb is the first frank black album i don't dig all of the way through. i think it would've been better if they picked the 10 best songs and frank did them acoustic. |

Also, the FM/RM commercial was cool...and effective. I'd buy it if I hadn't already ordered it! Thanks!
i think there should be a "commercial" for every album released. but 5 minutes may be a little too long. imho. |

heh. i think 2 new pixies songs (as well as the acoustic live "all around the world") are fabulous and i would be excited about a new pixies album, but i totally can see where kim would not want. especially since they had 5 of the best albums ever (6 if you include the b-sides). how many times have bands got back together years later and made a good album? pretty much never. |

i think he does, at least alot more than he appears to. he is just a modest guy. he also talks about how he doesn't care about lots of things like lyrics and such but they are almost always perfect. maybe that's just because he's naturally a genius. |

i concur. one of the best covers i've heard of pixies songs. |

Said it before, say it again, 'Frank, do an accoustic album! - or just throw all these demos on a low price CD or do another iTunes special download or sumthin''
Oh, and get back on UK itunes as well... oh, just checked, and you are... good job!
the Black Franciscan is out...

i totally agree. i have an album of acoustic demos 93-96 along with a couple of acoustic shows that are absolute gold. much better in my opinion than FMRM or honeycomb. |

I'm not sure why it's among peoples' favs either, I'd say it might even be my least favourite Oddballs track (though that's hardly an insult).
 "Now you're officially my woman. Kudos. I can't say I don't envy you."
i concur. it's a great song on a great album. but definitly not the best. i like it because it's alot different from most of his songs. especially solo stuff. |

So true. Speaking for myself, it was (and is) the "louderish" pre-catholic black that hit me where it matters, and like hearing the Pixies for the very first time, those moments of "now this is what I'm looking for" stay with me like fond memories. The Catholics, though still rocking, diluted the sound and rush that turned me on in the beginning, but took me to another level of appreciation completely. There's a Frank Black song out there to satisfy any rock and roll craving I desire.
Frank Black will be a legend.
Frank Black is one of the best of all time.
i concur |

 Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?
is it really?? i've only listened to that album 4 times. the least of all of his works. |

Thanks for this, Brian. I'd been trying (not that hard) to find these tracks among the podcasts. Since there aren't chapters in the podcasts (that's not really a complaint, though chapters would be nice), it's sorta difficult to find a song, especially because I wasn't even sure which podcasts "Nadine" was in.
Anyhow, what a great damn song, maybe FB's best ever. Between demos, live tracks, a TV show (Henry Rollins) and the album version, I think I must have close to 15 versions of this song, and it's so hard to pick a favorite. The Saskatoon show almost nails the spirit of the song best, because he sounds like he's completely losing his mind over this girl, which is exactly what the song's about. The version with Morris Tepper (that's the one from the Henry Rollins show) is way up there, too, if only because Tepper plays such a great guitar.
Brian, you called this song "blues" on a recent podcast. I'm not so sure about that. The album version is blues, I think, but that seems to be the only one. But maybe you're right. What do you think makes it a blues song, if indeed it is one?
And aren't you havin' fun?
Interesting. Although definitely a pixies-esque song and a great one at that. It's probably my least favorite of the other post-pixies "pixies-esque" songs. |

Luckily, i have most of them backed up, and just have to reassemble the podcast - i re-recorded all my parts last night and should be done (i hope) tonight. My sincerest aplogies. Fuck Dell.

Doolittle: None
Bossa: None
Trompe: Lovely Day One of my all time fave's ever!!
B-Sides: Letter to Memphis instrumental I concur. What the heck was the point. it is good however to use whenever you need a good quiet instrumental
BBC: Is She Weird? (grossly inferior to Bossa) whatev's, i'm not a big fan of the bbc cd, just cuz it's nothing new. (cept wild honey pie)
Oddballs: "Remake/Remodel" - because live it is so much better. the live is the most amazing ever. but i definitely don't skip it. never!!
OMRFTH: None
Snake Oil: I'm Going Down this reminds me of the boss, not great, but not skippable
Christmass: All Around the World (took a while but i totally love this song now, specially the pixies acoustic version)
Grand Duchy: Black Suit

It's wandering through an eerie, dark, congested forest before falling into a bottomless pit called Gouge Away.

sliver is soooo good, one of the first pixies songs i learned how to play. |

I guess there are worse indie touchstones you could have indentified. I mean I like all those band (to varying degrees), but I'd rather be compared to Joy Division than Interpol. Better to sound like you're ripping off a classic band, rather than ripping off a band that is ripping off a classic band.

There are holes! You may be able to find them in a Google archive. FBnet has suffered hackers and data loss. |

No problem Joe Fitz, that's why we keep archives although it's a bit overwhelming to reply to them, esp. with so many "i agrees". Anyway, glad you were entertained.
Oddball, I don't remember the exact number but it's plenty and only two days away. :)
