okay, its just dean just asked what you name was, and you just denied that it was alice.
yay, jennifer is a much easier name than apl, in so much as i kept thinking of you as a big giant apple typing at a computer and that kinda freaked me out.

Kali indeed... Kali mah, schaktinay. Or something. I watch too much Indy, what can I say.
Mere, wasn't the Trojan war more about being ON the guestlist and then stealing the host's wife. :) So the lesson is, make sure there's at least one girl prettier than yours in the world or you're going to have all sorts of people trying to claim her. ;)

Dear Frank:
If you see a strange guy in a blue overcoat with a russian camera and a saddam moustache photographing you in your santiago de compostela Show it is me, just follow me I will be checking if santiago (not joey, of course) is as it was 20 years ago when i triesd to study physics, justo for your info, at that time the guys a the chemistry faculty made an study on Franco Street wines and found out that many bartenders in this street used positron acelerators to make their wines, these accelerators werent invented by normal sciene at that time so beware with what you drink, but ask for albariņo wine for fish and any red wine (barrantes is very dense and usuallly contains some dissolved pork to give some taste). sure you will enjoy your eating, if you want somebody who really likes santiago and knowes it a little contact me, lets have an student raid as when i was 19
best regards
david
now in vigo ( 100 Km. from santiago)
get me to lemouria

Hi Frank! Welcome to Portland!
I have a few questions re: the city of roses
1. What inspired you to move to Portland (you really couldn't have picked a better city)?
2. Will you be gigging around town at all now that you live here? Your last show in Portland was brilliant...
non PDX question:
3. What are your reading, listening to, and watching?
Good Portland things: Storm every Wednesday at Dante's, Higgins restaurant, Wildwood (usually..although noisy sometimes), Pastini (great pasta for a good price..cheap bottles of Wine), Gino's, Powell's (of course) and the best beer selection around!
My loathings are simple: stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music.

Chuck, have you heard of John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats? If yes, tour with him. That wasn't a question.

Hi Charles
I don't know if you're ever gonna read this, but I had a question for you. I know that Rice & Beans Music is because of the Puerto Rican dish, but can you tell me the recipe? I've looked for it on the net, but I've never found a decent version with the garlic and lime juice etc.
I'd appreciate your direction...

Freaks read scifi.
I do too.
Try out your basics on Asimov or so and learn about politics on Herbert.
Eris indeed would be the dative for eros but not in the Illuminati-books.
The question first of all would be: Is it a hobby or a conviction of the man whom about all this is.

I'm amused by the fact that rather than taking this thread as an opportunity to ask Mr. Black questions that we are dying to know the answer to, many of us forumers tried to call out the poster (who was Mr. Black) as being a fraud, and wasted valueable answering time by doing so. But that's in the past now, and as Joyce Carol Oates wrote for the character Q____ P____ in her novel "Zombie," "anything that is not now is not real" (that may not be ver batim), so it's all good. Regardless of the fact that Frank has not replied to this topic in quite some time, I shall ask my question.
If you can pinpoint your aesthetic as a songwriter, what would you label it, or call it? What do you try to convey when writing? I understand that each time you sit down to write can be circumstance-related, but what overall mood do you try to speak to the listener? |

Hi Frank,
You asked early on in this thread if we knew which songs Joey played on for SMYT. I can distinctly hear him on This Old Heartache and think he may be on Massif Centrale as well. There's a wonderful solo on Happiness that I DON'T think is him, but whoever it was ... good stuff. It has that big, "pomp" kind of sound like on Fields of Marigold which is so nice ...
Thanks for all the great music. |

Mr. Black,
I really love SMYT. An exquisite record. Thank you for making it.
Don't know if you're still answering questions but I have a couple...
Are you happy with the fame and success you have achieved?
Why don't you work with women more often? It was great to hear some female backup singers on Manitoba (beautiful song).
Good luck on your current tour and we hope to see you in Texas when you make it back this way.

Hello Frank,
Thank you for the many years of bliss you've brought to me and mine. We desperately hope to see you again on the next American tour, should you happen to swing back through the Syracuse, NY / upstate NY area. Best of luck with everything, and, if you have indeed moved to Portland, might I suggest "Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon" by Chuck Palahniuk? It's a travel guide of sorts, focusing on the . . . mm, eclectic characters at the heart of the city, the legends, the lore. Hope the URL works:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1400047838/qid=1067000142/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-0155948-9390231?v=glance&n=507846
I spin SMYT daily and it's terrific. Thanks again for all of the great music. For my money, you and the C's are the best.
Best wishes,
Russell Richardson

| Is this the general the ´ask frank black about...´ topic? Well, if so, Frank I´m thinking about buying a Fender Telecaster (have a Stratocaster now). I can´t afford the fancy old ones, so I was thought I´d buy: either a Mexico 50´s style one or a Highway 1 Made in the USA one. What do you say Frank, Mexico or cheap USA? |

Some things for Frank (and anyone else) to do in Scotland:
1. Go see the National Parks ( beautiful places particularly Loch Lomond.. I'd like to hear Frank Mention some beautiful parts of Scotland in his songs hehe)
2. Eat Haggis Neeps and Tatties
3. Get hammered on good Scotch
4. Both of the above
5. Attend an Old Firm Football (soccer) match. (Thats Celtic Versus Rangers)
6. Buy a Kilt (and wear at next gig  )
7. Come and stay at my B&B....
Yes long shot ^^ but come tour this way again sometime, I really enjoyed the Edinburgh show!

Just joined this forum this morning and have skimmed all 16 pages. The last 4 were the hardest because the sun is now shining on my monitor causing a horrid glare.
To -The Man-
Never had the chance to type directly to a musician whose work I enjoy and respect so much before. Thank you for the Pixies, thank you for Frank Black, thank you for Show Me Your Tears. I'm 32 now - have been listening to your music since I was 15. Thank you for sharing your music.
Well I apologise for being so dorky etc but I feel better for posting. Have a beautiful day everyone! |
