Hey Charlie why no Cult of Ray songs anymore? I dig that album! In other statements youve made you said you're not down with moshing(at your gigs neither am i) but you must get a buzz out of watching the pogoing, I know i do.

Where the hell are Bowie, Bono and Radiohead with their checkbooks. I mean if they really are the Pixies fans they claim to be surely $5 miliion between them wouldn't seem like much.

5 million is realistic - Abba were offered a billion dollars to reform.
I reckon the Pixies would make that sum commercially viable. They might have to go a bit Kiss, but I'd be down at the front waving my oversized foam hand.

honestly, i have arrived at the notion that if a pixies reunion were to
happen and create the least bit of possibility of the catholics end or
change in line-up -then forget it.
-'show me your tears' should not be the last in the catholics catalog
of fine recordings.
BTW-let's get a move on with that Catholics double live CD, eh??!!

----------
what we should do is all pitch in and rent 2 cameras and make a deal for performance
sound and on the next U.S. tour the cameras follow frank from venue to venue and film
his shows.
-i mean does anyone know if any footage exists for the DVD that we are petitioning for?
-i would love to see them in the studio doin' takes
-in that wilco movie they took forever to finalize a song
-the catholics scenario would be a little more zoot i would think.
the FBnet members film it and shuttle the equipment from one local to the next for the next local members to use.
or rent locally or something like that.
with digital video being all the vogue these days it could work rather cheaply.
and at some point the adept local members get to film them laying down some studio cuts.
-and then at end of tour it gets crammed onto a 5 DVD set.
-if we did it i am sure frank would be supportive.
-just have to get past kengoes saying 'no filming at frank black concerts'
(that is a quote)
i for one could see this working.
comments?
otherwise consider me signed.

P.S. oh, and for pete's sake the rights for all content
would of course belong to the brothers catholic.

Just found out about this board; I wanted to post a quick "thanks" to FB, if you're reading this. A couple of winters ago some friends and I were in a bar in New Haven, CT, and we noticed a familiar-looking guy at the end of the bar, doing the same thing we were doing (killing time waiting for the FB&C's gig). We had the bartender put the scotch on our tab, and you were good enough to come over and make small talk with a pod of potentially annoying mid-thirties fans. So.... I wanted to throw a quick thanks your way, and let you know that your approachableness (we're allowed to make up words, right?) won you a couple new fans. A buddy and his girlfriend (who didn't know your stuff) said "Hey, nice guy", and decided to come check out the gig. The next day, BANG! Two more albums sold!
Anyway, just wanted to pass on the note, and thanks for not launching bodyguards or rabid dogs on us or anything.
(Oh, and the show kicked ass. And it was a good crowd. Except for some guy who was running in and out of the side door to the dressing room, who, apparently, was stealing water and grub) |

Frnk, do look into gig CD-burning! At the risk of presenting myself as Evil Incarnate, me and my brother taped the Glasgow Garage gig on Minidisc (turned out mostly a little too loud and distorted, but still very listenable); immediately afterwards we were joking about selling it to those leaving the venue; the thing is, we easily could have! You guys, with 'legit' rights to set up some *decent* recording equipment, could make some very nice beer-money selling the gigs-you've-just-heard...
The 3 Scottish gigs ruled, by the way -- rock and roll! Or, as you did solemnly state @ Aberdeen, "A WAH RWWAA NNNG RWAAAAA! RWWAA NNNG RWAAAAA! RWWAANNNGRWAAAAA!"
BTW Who *was* that stern older gentleman seated at the back of the Edinburgh and Aberdeen gigs? Looks like a cross between Goldfinger out of the Bond movies and some Wild West casino owner...?

Hey Frank - check out this great idea!
My friends went to a Billy Idol show a few weeks ago, and Billy has a big truck with a bunch of CD burners on it and they burn the copy of the show and sell them from 20$ after the show. You buy your ticket for the CD before the show, and you wait in line for 15 minutes after the show and you have a copy of it.
I had never heard of this and I thought it was a brilliant idea.
I know fans would eat up those live CDs and you could make money and make many people happy and destroy any reason to illegally bootleg your shows.
I know you guys do it all yourselves, so maybe you could do it on a smaller scale, possibly print 100 copies a gig or something, as opposed to 1000.
Will you seriously consider this idea? Becuase I would be buying them all the time.
Just a thought I thought I would pass on.
btw I love the new album. When I play "When will happiness find me again" I always end up in tears... such a beautiful album.
Okay, thanks for being here. Goodbye.
-------------------------
ain't it funny how the goes
Wow. That is a really good idea. Thanks. I'll have to think about that. Really clever.
FB
Yes it IS a brilliant idea......one that you should most definitely think about....I know that the last time I saw you here in my good ole state of KY. I was wondering if there was any merch especially for the concert-goers.....well, this is a way that you could make some merch especially for the concert goers and make some damn good money all the same (hell, next time you come to Louisville, Let's all go for some late night beer and pizza!!!!)....Anyways......great job with the new record Frank....not as good IMO as BLD or DW, but still damned good nonetheless! |

Hmmm, I haven't been here long, but I don't think Frank runs this site - just visits. Tis a fan site, me thinks.
Your mentioning him remarking on your shirt at a concert reminded me of the first time I saw him in concert in June of 93 in Pontiac, MI (Frank, I'm sure you remember. Yes, I'm joking. I don't expect you to remember that a day from when it happened, much less over 10 years later ;)
I was wearing a funky little hat and about fell over when between tunes Frank looked right at me and said "I like your hat" O.o Just to be sure, I scoped out the crowd around me and sure as shit I was the only one wearing a hat.
http://www.purrsiathunder.net/purrpics/meprograd.jpg <----- This was the hat, actually [if the link gives you an error message, cut and paste it into your browser. Don't ask, it's complicated]. You can even pretend the Sugar shirt is a Frank Black shirt. Sure you can. And yes, that's me as a high school senior - and I'm bald as a cue ball underneath said hat ~geek~ :-B
I still have that damn thing, and whenever it happens to catch my eye, I think of that moment in that concert and have a nice chuckle.

Hey Frank, I've been asking around, to little avail, how one would approach you/Ken Goes/whomever it takes regarding playing in Iceland. If you're reading this, I think I could facilitate things and guide you to the right people. We just had the Iceland Airwaves music festival and it struck me that you'd be a perfect headliner for one of the venues there. I'm absolutely positive that you could win over a lot of people here.
So, drop me a line at ivarjons(at)yahoo.com if you and/or Mr. Goes are interested. |

Cartland, did you see his reply to you earlier. I'm not sure what it means, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't relate to your new question, but it's something. Maybe he'll play there someday. Here it is:

Yeah, I saw that; t'was before I had the revelation "I must bring the King to Iceland myself" :)
Maybe people don't know what he's on about in that reply, but renting a jeep in Iceland is a lot of fun and a really good way to experience nature (I'm sounding like the president of the Icelandic tourist board :) Sorry about that). |

Hey Frank,
I was front row at the first McCabe's show last month and gave you back your setlist when it dropped. I have two questions for you.
Have you seen or heard about the great new indie-film Bubba Ho-Tep?
and
Have you ever listened to Phish?
thanks! |

http://www.urantia.org/
An excerpt (Page 652):
Urantia is of origin in your sun, and your sun is one of the multifarious offspring of the Andronover nebula, which was onetime organized as a component part of the physical power and material matter of the local universe of Nebadon. And this great nebula itself took origin in the universal force-charge of space in the superuniverse of Orvonton, long, long ago.
At the time of the beginning of this recital, the Primary Master Force Organizers of Paradise had long been in full control of the space-energies which were later organized as the Andronover nebula.
987,000,000,000 years ago associate force organizer and then acting inspector number 811,307 of the Orvonton series, traveling out from Uversa, reported to the Ancients of Days that space conditions were favorable for the initiation of materialization phenomena in a certain sector of the, then, easterly segment of Orvonton.
900,000,000,000 years ago the Uversa archives testify, there was recorded a permit issued by the Uversa Council of Equilibrium to the superuniverse government authorizing the dispatch of a force organizer and staff to the region previously designated by inspector number 811,307. The Orvonton authorities commissioned the original discoverer of this potential universe to execute the mandate of the Ancients of Days calling for the organization of a new material creation. |

Thanks, Obfuscate. Sounds about right, apl (what's your name again, is it Alice?). I thought it might be a joke related to the book, though the question of whether it's a joke still remains.

Dear Frank,
As far as cautionary end-of-the-world books go, it makes me wonder if you've ever read "Critical Path" by Buckminster Fuller ( http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa111897.htm ). It's more of a hopeful visionary's take on the state of things and how to steer towards an ideal state. Bucky balls, dymaxion car, geodesic domes. Plus a *very* hopeful view of a future United Nations. You're probably already familiar with him, but I still wonder if you think he was more a likeable naive mathematician or a visionary genius with real-world applicable solutions/contemporary worth. Does his work ever come up in your lyrics? I guess I don't really think you'll have a chance or really want to answer this post, as I guess it's a little silly, but hey, it's worth a shot. :)
Where are we going?
Planet ten!
When?
Real soon!!
