oh king,
knowest ye that i do trumpet the cause with the local AIR mavens(radio):
this is a quote of my own (from elsewhere in the forum: P****s reunion)
...so maybe I should figure out the proper quote procedure..
<...getting paid well to find out can't hurt anyone involved -i don't think
the high road of non sell out notoriety is exactly doing anything for any
of those involved right now -except charles in regards to his own self image he has done quite well for himself -but for crying outloud i pestered
XRT 'chicago's finest rock' mucho in the past months on why no frank black
-pretty much all the way to the top and they have actually said yes they
should be playing frank black and do and have played pixies,
but they get real vague as to why they are basically ignoring him
-and beleive me if you heard this stations playlists you would automatically see FB&C right in amongst 'em (j. hyatt as well as iggy, replacements, steve earle and every other americana geetar slingin' band)
it's actually wretched how they of course play the same cuts from bands
-relentlessly, even the Clash -when Joe Strummer died they played
'train in vain' (mick jones sings that one)after giving the memorium announcement that he had past -i've been going off on them ever since
-they can play ALL the beatles cuts and any stones cut -even the one
where they have to repeatedly bleep the word shit (from exile on main street).
-which is just stupid if you ask me -this is the kind of crap that staid,
moronic decision making panels corporate or otherwise do with radio and it is just so damn sad to watch -er hear.
i picked on them because they are a throwback station to the early seventies and still have the same DJ's for cripes sake and i figured they might actually have taste but the corporate polling machine is in place somehow and they (DJ's) seem to want to play stuff like FB but don't.
for me personally since the Pixies have that 'track record'
it would simply mean a little crack can begin because stations like this
would be actually playing it for the masses and being one to WANT to just
turn on a radio sometimes that would make it a little less painful.>
..XRT had a banner up at double door last time you guys were there
right where you sell your CD's and such -i guess this is better than sucking
but when i hear 'everything is new' i just absolutely cannot understand why
that song is not on that station -i guess i am simply pissed off that radio
has become this 'thing' based on a formula which somehow guarantees income
to all parties involved-oh well . . crap formula=.....'have you heard about
that new radio station? apparantly a country station has joined with a rap station
for maximum profit, it's called 'CRAP radio'...sorry, couldn't resist.
i just don't think that these formulaic, panel driven ways work for radio
-i think they drive people crazy thus making awareness of how bad it is a forgotten
blur.
blarg.
-.-.-...oh, and by the way -you are by far a better song writer and performer than 99.9% of the others (can't think of one but i figure
there may be someone/thing as eloquent and talented and i didn't want to piss them off..)

Did your therapist actually say 'show me your tears?'
-i picture more of a Sopranos type thing...
the Sopranos is a therapeutic show i found as it is always good
to know how messed up other people can be..
mine is a sweet old lady -she's cool though.
-i thought of this because i would think the satisfaction you
get in your work and the catharsis involved in performing
would pretty much do the trick.

lofts are cool -i live in an old bra factory
-which type is it that you are in?
..allright , allright i'm outta here.

I agree, Randy. I've been pestering WXRT for years to play some FRANK. It's still a great radio station, though. He actually played live on 'XRT back in 1994. Someone must have liked him back then!!!

Hey, youse guys,

I just wanted to give you all some relief -- YES THE PERSON THAT HAS
BEEN CLAIMING TO BE FRANK BLACK AND POSTING TO THIS FORUM IS ACTUALLY FRANK BLACK!! I know this because I am his girlfriend and I remember him saying that he has begun logging on from time to time after a prolonged absence. I actually am participating in this forum stuff for the first time today - specifically I signed up in order to apologize to his fans in Barcelona for the short gig a couple weeks ago -- my fault (see General FB Chat thread). Anyway, do not waste precious brain cells deliberating and comparing postings, o ye of little faith!! It's the King. That is him being self-mocking, by the way, you guys. He's not that delusional. He's a humble dude. C'mon, people! You're all so uptight!

Love,
Violet Grace Clark

I find it a little odd you refer to yourself as Franks girlfriend/girl a few times in both posts. Im aware you need to clarify but surely you can put it differently. I don't mean to be pointlessly bitchy (it just happens) but to avoid you needing to post that you are Franks girlfriend a third/fourth time you can assume we all know. Wouldn't want us to think you are the type of person who is like this...:

"HI IM HERE TO APPLY FOR A ....."
"Ok Miss, whats your name?"
"WHY ME? IM FRANK BLACKS GIRLFRIEND"
"O...k but whats your name"
"UH..FRANK BLA...."

...now would we?

Well...my joke was a poorly scripted joke seeing as I wrote it all. As for the rest of your post realmean, I don't understand it. Remig: I found it highly amusing reading both posts just how they were written. I found it hard to believe that a grown women would write such a post. If she is a grown women...my my my my my. Also to address the whole offending people issue. If Frank or his girlfriend (or anyone) are offended by little comments by 'fans' on a msgboard there is something seriously up.

I like Frank Blacks music FULLSTOP

Also, I just realized that I don't even know what you pissy people are referring to, because I only posted the one time and yet you then quickly accused me of, like, milking the girlfriend thing in multiple posts. So I don't get it. Do you take electric koolaid with your cornflakes in the morning? I feel like I've entered the twilight zone. I'm so not into misdirected anger.

What is the problem, folks? I (being Frank Black's girlfriend, of course) was just clarifying that I am in the position to assure the validity of Charles' postings (as his girlfriend) because, being his girlfriend, I'm kind of privvy to that sort of information, because, well, I'm dating him. As opposed to being a total stranger. Which I'm not. Cuz I'm his girlfriend. Yup.

Malax and Realmean, are you guys THAT bored that you have nothing better to do than to get on
a complete and total stranger's case and be randomly cruel to that person (who happens to be Frank Black's girlfriend...)??? I should be so lucky to have that sort of free time in indulge in random acts of emotional cruelty. But I don't. Because, in addition to being the full-time girlfriend of Frank Black's (did I mention that?!?) I'm a grad student, museum worker and a mother. I'm probably older and wiser than either of you. So have some bloody respect. Drink some chamomile tea or something and chill. My word.

By the way: I'M...TELLING...MY...BOYFRIEND!!

Yours,
Frank Black's Girlfriend
