"patron saint of slackerdom"
I don't know if that really fits a guy that has put out as many albums as Frank Black. |

Noozhawk.com - Jeff Moehlis: Black Francis Was Not to Be Missed at The Hard to Find.
The Orange County Register- Tenacious D spearheads comedic bash in L.A.
Granted, the three main musical acts — Pixies frontman
Frank Black, the Shins‘ James Mercer, and singer-
songwriter Aimee Mann — did manage to deliver
thoughtful, slapstick-free turns that, much like Radiohead’s
set, seemed to inject the crowd with a sobering antidote,
reasserting the benefit’s deeper purpose.
More so than anything offered from the evening’s other
artists, Black’s selections seemed to form a meaningful
tale. Playing his signature Fender Telecaster alone under a
solitary spotlight, he began with “Los Angeles,” a cut from
his 1993 solo debut that served as a deliberate call to his
current audience.
Next, Black epitomized the feelings many have regarding
the Haitian earthquake via the Pixies hit “Where is My
Mind?,” barely pausing before launching into “All My
Ghosts,” an appropriate choice from his time with backing
band the Catholics that mentions “going past a scene of
gore” and asks the relevant question, “Who needs that
now?”
The 15-minute slot ended with two singalong Pixies
favorites, “Monkey’s Gone to Heaven” and “Nimrod’s Son,”
both reinforcing Black’s apparent focus on themes of
religion, death and redemption.
At various other points, notably during Mercer’s haunting, acoustic-driven performance and Mann’s stripped-
down version of “Freeway” — a song with this blatant message: ‘If you’re rich, give more!’ — tears seemed
likely to flow as audience members sunk into the show’s momentarily somber tone. |

I just noticed that at the bottom of the page, there's a link to a recent interview:

re: Santa Barbara article
I just thought I'd mention the writer (very nice chap) did not get my quote correct about life on other planets. I was quoting a common notion about LIFE existing and that we are with big ego to think otherwise, but my point was, in fact, the opposite, that is to say, that we should FEEL SPECIAL if THERE IS NO OTHER LIFE because that puts the overwhelming size of the universe into perspective. Just another notion gleaned from a book.

Perhaps, but they are friends of mine and fans of Charles, as well, who are excited to play the same day he does at the store. They are a completely different genre of music from Charles, but what they do, they do very well. I will be at CD World for sure!

Would love to be going to so some of the edf shows, any of them for that matter but especially the edf ones.
I googled the beachcomber in wellfleet and that looks quite the venue. What a setting for a Black Francis show. Maybe i'll make the next one. :( |

note: I didn't place eighty five weeks right away and when I got back to my car I listened to quite a few songs so I can't be 100% it was eighty five weeks but I'm pretty sure. He said because it was a "library" it would be fitting to play the songs alphabetically. They also ended up skipping a song between Nimrod's and Planet of Sound. That would have made it 25; a buck a song. I was gonna say something but refrained, haha. Anyways, great venue. Will definitely return one day; maybe sooner than later, arcade fire anyone??? That highway is awesome to drive...WOW!!!
that's me bobbing my head in the green hat, grey shirt, aisle seat 3rd from front...

| I love those performances I've seen, but it'd be nice to see some other songs appear now and then. Out of the whole 'Honeycomb/FM/RM' period it's 'Sing for Joy' all the time. Golem songs never get a look in. Or NSE ('Dead Man's Curve' excepted). |

Even to see him playing Calistan again would be an honor! Eighty- five weeks and Some Things would be so fun. Will this be appearing on the trader's/collector's rounds anytime soon? Very nice setlist, thanks for keeping track(s)!

Not so far, sorry. Mostly eastern and southwest US. I'm not trying to tease, we just can't release it for a little bit yet.
