When my friends don't like my music I usually ram it down their throughts until they cry tears of blood.
Not advisable on first dates though. I left that poor girl quitely confused cranking Sonic Youth's "Goo" back in 92. |

Well one night me and my friend max we were drinking in his old man's house and I had brought my guitar. As we were chewing the fat about japanese country music (my friend always talks about japan when he's drunk) I started playing Cold Heart of Stone. "the winter blows through my coat, it's chilling my bones" He liked it alot but when I made him download the song and listen to it, he said he liked my version better.
Well, that was quite nice to hear, but I had to slap him of course.

It makes me uncomfortable when people play things for me, hoping that I'll like it ( I'll always say its good no matter what it is ), so I don't do it to other people.
One time though, I was in my dorm room and my friend next door came over to say hi while I was listening to Cult of Ray. The song playing was "The Marsist" and he instantly liked it and has been a fan ever since. |

I was at my friend's house and we were messing around trying to learn a new song ,cause we only know one song (Smells Like Teen Spirit, which we played at a talent show-totally not my idea-and he really f***ed up the solo, but that's another story) and I played him "Western Star" and he went "that's cool, let's try playing Heart-Shaped Box again".
I could tell he totally didn't get it.
edit: oh yeah, i quit "his" band, too. not really a band though anyways.
But not really. |

| In order to understand the Man on the first try, you really need to be in the ideal circumstances. I was on a road trip with some friends, driving long hours, and I was doing the early morning shift listening to TOTY while everybody was asleep or halfway there. They all became fans, and I contribute it to the fact that they were in a non-judgemental quasi-dreamstate. |

Just when we got home from the tour, the guitarist in the band (who already liked early Frank & Pixies) got Devil's Workshop & Black Letter Days to review for a Swedish metal mag and asked for my input, so I listened to them, raved about them and didn't give them back.
I put The Black Rider & His Kingly Cave on a mixed tape for my potential new girlfriend & she loved them straight away. Never heard of the guy, she said. Later, looking through her mom's cd collection I found a copy of Surfer Rosa that she'd bought as a teenager and forgotten about. Doolittle is now her favourite cd of all time but as a whole she prefers Frank solo. If Your Poison Gets You is her favourite track. I'm happily living with her in the UK and she has made TWO Frank tapes of her own for the car. Yeah, it was meant to be.
Doolittle is not my favourite CD of all time, Mikael! Hehe! I did have a copy of black letter days from my 'youth', but didn't listen with Mikael's fanaticism.... and i'd forgotten i had surfer rosa- a have just come to assume that all the music in our flat probably belongs to Mike... I am tho, first and foremost an FB affectionado. Poison gets me through my own black days, but I'm increasingly revisiting earlier stuff... into Headache, Los Angeles, The Black Rider (first version, better than Tom **gasp**), Ten Percenter, Abstract Plain I LOVE!!.... and loving Bluefinger, partic Lolita and Tight Black Rubber!
Mike is correct in saying that we now live happily together-and have just had an FB marathon whereby we saw him 3 times in two weeks! |

Just so I'm clear ... Mike is mikaelp75? And you are the "potential new girlfriend" in his post?
And you were at the afterparty on Sunday why?
Sorry for all the questions. I'm just confused.
Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

Correctomundo. But two years on I'm a fully fledged girlfriend!
We were at the afterparty on Sunday because we hoped there would be a free bar! (there wasn't...)

...and Charly (the Normal one) remembered us from Nijmegen and kindly gave us backstage passes. Skippy had put us on the guest list as well, so we were properly pampered. |

I brought a Frank Black mix CD with me in a friend's car last week, and learned the other day that he hasn't taken it out since! This is a guy who's a casual music listener at best, and whose usual fare consists largely of shitty pop-punk and whatever's new and popular on the radio, so I was surprised.
I even told him I was proud of him :p
Songs that stuck out to him were Tossed ("polka" chorus, haha), Los Angeles, I Will Run After You, and St. Francis Dam Disaster.

I agreed with the earlier comment. To convert someone, take them to a show! My girlfriend, er...my fiance, didn't get it. Her tastes IMO are very plain. She likes Tom Petty (not so bad) and pop country (the WORST) or as her brother calls it POPCUNT. She and I traveled to Berkeley last year to see Frank open for Tom Petty. It was a match made in heaven. She complains a lot less when I play Frank for hours on end during road trips. (but don't expect her to be posting on this forum any time soon) Can I help it if the guy has a ridiculously deep catalog?
Everyone I've ever taken to see Frank has commented about how tight the band is. He has a reputation for whipping his bands into shape (or beating them into submission) and it shows. If you can find a friend who enjoys talented musicians they will always enjoy the show. Then just play them the Catholics stuff and explain that it was recorded without edits etc. Works every time.

"Do You Like Worms?" is a Beach Boys song from the legendary Smile sessions!

the only songs that really caught my girlfriend's attention while listening in the car were: In the Time of my Ruin and Stupid me. she's not a pixies fan at all. -but she requests those two songs all the time.
my brother, however, is a big pixies fan - and the only songs he'll sit through of Frank's solo stuff are the quirky ones. |
