Hmmm, either Frank has spilled an espresso over his keyboard, or after reading the qs on page 10 he has run for the hills. Edinburgh, for those who are interested, is built on 7 hills - so he has quite a choice.
Hope to see you back here soon, Frank.

Hi Frank, hope your rehearsals are going well. I'm really looking forward to seeing you and the band in London, Portsmouth and Bristol.
One question; Why don't you play in Wales? You've played in Scotland, England, Ireland, but never Wales. We have some great venues in Cardiff, Swansea, Newport etc. Please consider this for next tour. Oh and you should play on Easter Island for all the Moai statues, I'm sure that they would like it.
Keep up the good work.
Ps, I recently read a review of guitars that you did for Jack magazine. I found it funny that you mention expensive and vintage guitars (Martins, pre CBS Fender Telecasters and Takamine acoustics etc.) and the magazine people put a big photograph of a Squire Telecaster next to the review! A guitar that's worth about £125.00, the silly people.
Just thought I'd mention it.
Pps, I like the Martin guitar you have, it sounds fantastic.

Hey Charles,
question:
Did you make a recording appearance with Taz Bentley and Todd Lewis' band the Burden Brothers earlier this year?
If so what song(s) did you work on?
Thanks,
Thomas |

Heh... love the new sig, mun chien. I didn't know that about Ediburgh or Constantinople, that is pretty cool. Most likely he realized that there were 11 pages of questions and decided their wasn't enough espresso in the whole of Europe for him to go through all of it. I wonder if he has time to look at the rest of the forum ever or if this is the only thread he can go through.

Hi Frank
Your music has pretty much been the soundtrack of my life for at least a decade now. :)
I have 2 short questions.
1.
What happenned to your fascination with the other worldy and mysterious that was once so prevalent in your work? Have you "moved on" in terms of philosophic beliefs (you know, the old wide-eyed to the stars, UFO thing that I always found fascinating). Just curious.
2.
Also, I was wondering if you would ever entertain doing any video work for the sheer creative thrill of it. I am an animator and opening a studio with a few other artists. We just finished a fully stop motion animated video for a band using the Fritz Lang/ Metropolis theme. Would you be interested in creating a video in such a style possibly using either 3d or 2d animation (perhaps with us :) ? Its a big download but I'd be interested in your take. (you might want to dis-regard the misic :)

2.5.
Also what should we call our studio?
Thanks! (looking forward to another Philadelphia tour some time soon) |

Hey Frank,
For next time you grace us with your presence, are you gonna be around Knoxville Tennessee anytime soon? Nashville, Memphis, maybe..? I've never been to one of your shows, and you're one of the few people I'd drive a piece for.

I get the idea that rather than abolishing payola, Radio as a format is now ALL payola. What with those independent promoters.

Hey Frank -
Any chance of you doing a Lou Rawls cover? When a saw you in Providence you sang Duke of Earl apparently impromptu (broken front mic). It strikes me that you could rock the shit out of (or maybe into) "Groovy People". |

Hey FB,
Did you ever get to meet/talk to Joe Strummer? Those Mescaleros records are good but Earthquake Weather is the best. His death was truly shocking; an apt yet very sad example of the good dying young.

hey frank, i'm willing to believe it's you for the purpose of this post, very cool thread! been trying to get through it all, very funny!
anyway going to the gig next wednesday in Manchester, was wondering if you have 'tossed - with lyrics' in your collection of do-able songs at the moment? i downloaded it a few months ago (a live version, obviously) and it's fantastic. In fact if you do do (do do do do...) a Oddballs 2 then I reckon you should do a studio version of it, heck just do one anyway as a b-side! 
Keep on rocking! Was talking to your mates (and mine!) The Wannadies on Monday after their gig, can you name which country you last saw Pär in? |

HUGE Bradbury fan here, Frank. Thanks for turning me on to him. What's your favorite book of his?
Also, is Manitoba going to be on a soundtrack to a Kevin Spacey movie? (old rumor I heard)

Heya,
I posted this on another question thread that's lurking out in the boonies somewhere here:
I have a ton but I'll be brief...alledgedly!
1. The places you name in songs - are those the ones you've visited at the time or just random locations that spring to mind during the process or writing? Also have you ever thought about putting together a Pixies tour bus like the one the Beatles have in Liverpool?
(I ask this as I was close to buying a pennent with UMASS written on it during the famous blackout)
2. Do you currently hold any beliefe that we'll ever know the truth about outer space and live harmoniously with other nations on earth?
3. What was the worst tour & why? - did you ever recover any of the stolen bits & pieces?
4. Which albumn was the most gratifying to make/write/record?
5. In a ideal world if you could have your choice of musicians and venues and crowd to play to; which ones and why?
6. Numerology figures alot in your music - have you researched this or are you intrigued by patterns and have a set theory on their significance?
7. Is there a chance of you playing I will run to you in Edinburgh?
(its my birthday and I'm trekking up from the wilds of Kent nr. Dover so I figure its worth the asking)
8. The talking intro's are very much a part of some records to my view - is this going to feature in future recordings or is it more incidental?
9. Do you ever think it will ever be possible to see you & David Bowie/ Teenage Fanclub on the same stage? Have you talked about this at any time?
10. I'm curious as to why you played into the white at the underworld - threw me for 6 tell the truth - was it something you'd been doing a while or just a whim?
11. What's better: random or conscious logic?
12. What's the one thing is this life you'd not be without?
13. Have you ever stopped and analysed the lyrics to your songs or do you merely give them air and leave them alone?
There we go!
Thirteen toothsome questions!
Thanking you for your time sir!

 Hey Frank, why don't you just write one big long essay that answers each and every one of our questions, as the amount of queries we're presenting you with would fill a short book?

my name is Miron Ghiu-Caia and I'm a music writer for one of the biggest publishing houses in Romania. I know all this may sound ordinary, but I must say it: you're a great inspiration for me. almost all the parties I've thrown and at least one hour/day are dedicated to your work. thanks for that, plain and simple. thanks for being such a musical genius.
second of all I must say that the song "all my ghosts" made me decide to visit my grandfather whom I haven't been seeing for about two years at that time. the coincidence is that he was just recovering from a serious surgery (i hadn't ANY idea) and that meeting was, to say so, his last moment of mental clarity. it's painful for me to say that, but here it is. i just woke one morning, recorded a compilation of your songs and went to the train for a 300km journey, although i worked that day. just like that.
I must say i totally love your music and i'm promoting your work the best i can.
i know it's probably just my imagination but i'd love to see you live in romania or near.
hope to hear from you. "show me your tears" is awesome - i love "massife centrale" and "the snake"
just a "hi" will do the trick ("then god is seven")
love you,
Miron
thanks miron. hope to see you in ROMANIA one day. |

Dear Frank,
Welcome to Edinburgh, Capital of Scotland and indeed a lovely country to reside. It gets cold sometimes. Anyway I've never met a famous person in real life (Except Daniel O Donnel), but nevertheless I have tickets to see you tonight. It would be nice to get backstage. But I know I won't because security are nobs.
MY question is: How are you?
Yours Sincerely,
Michael Gunn |

On Sunday October 12th, as you have no gig, there are much worse places to cool your kingly heels than in Cowes on the Isle of Wight (just over the water from Portsmouth and Southampton). Shitloads of cracking harbourside bars & restaurants, more sailin' and shorin' than you could wave a stick at, and the chance to chill without ever hearing the words "P****s" and "reunion" in the same sentence.
We've already had Iggy Pop here this year (playing the festival), and Glen Matlock lives here, so mayhaps you could get together and resurrect the Stax Pistols for an afternoon.
Don't hang out in Ryde though...it's awash with po' folk on holiday.
...where the Ballyhoos and the Tritons are. |

i know! lets all meet in iceland and each bring a boombox and we'll
each crank one of these songs simultaneously!
next thing you know dead animals are flying all around
and then frank black and the catholics will pull up in the catholics mobile
and jump out and beg us to stop...we crank 'em up a notch and then they offer to play
for us 'IF WE WOULD JUST TURN IT OFF' then frank sez 'O.K.,O.K. how about free admission
to all our gigs for one year AND an indian burn?!
THEN we shut it down, find a hotspring and a beer and all have a good laugh!
dunno man...indian burn from frank black would probably nip...although I suppose there would be glaciers nearby to douse the sting with

Fuck you, Malax. I already have my tickets for Paris & Evreux, so it's not like I'm asking for free passes or anything. I'm just saying that Frank often does in-store solo shows, and that he'll be in Paris on Oct. 18th because the Catholics open for Placebo that night, so he COULD play in the afternoon at some record store.
