The new site is nice, funny and generous. I think some of the icons on the homepage should be a little more self-explanatory. But that's just a detail.

Firefox is definitely the problem. It works just fine with Safari.
i stand corrected. we've cocked up somewhere, king. |

| For me it is working fine with Firefox on a Mac (except for the Pong game). |

| So it's my machine that's playing up. I've never been able to access the old blackfrancis.net and recently I've been having trouble playing Quick Time files in Firefox, too. I think I must be missing some add-ons and whatnot but I'm at a loss. Guess I've got a date with Google tonight. |

Looks like the site is unavailable now, whether I use IE or FF...

This is amazing! So many hidden gems... the site looks so professional. Though, I can only find the Pong game - are there others?

This is great
Just ordered Bluefinger (for only 15$ can you believe it!)
This is the first time I bought something directly from Frank
(besides some tour singles and shirts). Very nice!
I like the idea of my money going straight to Frank (well, there's
some virtual middle man here, I'm sure)
your order number is: 6!
Haha, I wonder who of you were there before me!

Can I pay for stuff by debit card? Do I have to use paypal or something? I've never used it before.

The only problem I've had so far (a minor one) is that if you try and view the pictures in the photo section, you can't seem to click on the numbers between 10 and 15 in the bar because when you move the mouse over them it highlights the picture of the computer below it. Overall the site looks great though, I'm very impressed!

You can just skip through them by pressing the + at the side instead of each individual number. Nothing gets in the way of that.

I still haven't stumbled across the webstore, thankfully someone linked me to it via fb.net. With my memory, I'm finding it tough remembering what is where. Maybe some simple text links discreetly placed somewhere would be a nice addition.
And I'd like to see frankblack.net and ˇblackolero! added to the "links" page, but that's just more little details. |

It's amazing it works!
Secretly, I've always prefered the pen de nomme "Black Francis" to "Frank Black". Don't tell anyone. |

well, if they didn't tax other things that I buy in the US, that would be a plus. Seriously, when the shop pays tax in the US and they sell me something, why do I have to pay tax over here too? Are they trying to stop globalization?
Ahh it's just money (freakin' 80 bucks though) and I will have bluefinger soon. No tax, free shipping. BF is good to us.
fuck you dutch goverment

I got to it through the albums list (the radio icon), then click on where it says 'buy album'. This takes you to the store.
Or if you want to go directly: http://www.blackfrancis.net/webstore/

Here's my verdict:
**************
Your Order Number is: 15
Checkout Success Sample Text ...
A few words about the approximate shipping time or your processing policy would be put here.
This section of text is from the Define Pages Editor located under Tools in the Admin.
This file is located in /languages/english/html_includes/classic/
NOTE: Always backup the files in /languages/english/html_includes/your_template
***************
Weird, eh? But Daisy, we're even, I'm in for 2 too.

| As much as I like the idea of giving money as directly to the artist as possible--and as THRILLED as I am about the prospect of t-shirts (can't wait!!!)... Most of FB's records are available online for under $10, and they're charging about $15 for everything. I'm not sure that's going to work... |

well the majourity of people would rather have the phyical cd instead of the iTunes download, and since its a physical cd it costs more. 15 dollars is good, especially with the current free shipping
i got an email saying they're waiting to recieve more copies of bluefinger before they can ship it out, i hope it wont be too long
maybe an autographed copy charles? ;) |
