Hmmm...time with my family. They have been waiting for me to get off the road for some time now. I have missed them terribly. Not a lot of touring coming up. Happy about that. Watching jazz documentaries with the little ones. Now that's a good night! Write some songs I guess. Been talking to Feldman 'bout making a record. Yeah. Overdue. Feldman.

He and EDF could make the record at Frank's home, he apparently has lots of space to build up his mobile recording studio! Frank won't be away from his family, and make a nice (spacey, jazzy) record with the great EDF (loved his production on the last Polyphonic Spree)
nice!

Nice to see he's happy about that.
I wonder if and what he sings to the baby.
I wonder that, too!
some rock songs are t'riff nitey-nite songs: Monkey's Gone..., In Heaven, Break On Through (to the other side), yellow submarine. stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again. all good blankie songs, them.
What do you like to sing to the young'uns, Señor Charles? |

exciting news about working with Eric Drew again...I dig his music though i've only seen him live once. At a Frank Black show in Dallas, oddly enough! killer keyboards and one helluva goatee.
perhaps some scifi-cum-rock from this coupling? :) |

Hi Charles,
Every time I have recorded in a studio, I am completely uncomfortable. I have tried to prepare many different ways. How do you get comfortable in the studio?
Maybe a stupid question, but you sound so confident and at ease on Honeycomb surrounded by legends, and all of it live to 2. Who better to ask? |

Ah, you've made my day. A late, lamented member of the Percenter family wrote some of those songs - I hope you like them, as well as the others! Great gig at Meadowbank by the way, never have "Blown Away" and "Stormy Weather" sounded so appropriate.

Dear frnk,
Do the things you have to do I.E the things you want to do.
As usual.
You are a great source of inspiration for many people. Keep on being worth it.
Many thanks. I went on stage because of you!

Thank you FB for your great work of late: recorded & live.
I have waited many years for a Pixies venture to Australia, but took the plunge in August and went to see P at Lansdowne Rd, Dublin. A beautiful experience! Hopefully you can still make it to Aus sometime soon, maybe 2006. Btw a club tour would be much much better than the Big Day Out/Festival circuit. Looking forward to new FB solo album too.
Many thanks again!

Frank,
What's your opinion of the "Oral History band called PIXIES" book and it's author?
Reading it at the moment and find it very well written and produced.
Loving the reunion and especially the pixidisks.
Some NEW work in that vain would be nice, but then to quote a wise man -
"Probably nothing in the world arouses more false hopes Than the first four hours of a diet".

Hehe, Monkey's a good niteynite song???
I'd like to know, because I know I'm the biggest jackass when it comes to singing to the babe. I usually just insert his name somewhere, for instance today I was singing No Jonas no cry...heehee.

Hey Frank, what has been your most enjoyable collaboration with musicians outside of honeycomb? (assuming that is your most enjoyable)
Who would you most like to have a session/make an album with?
One of my favourite collaborations is the recent Calexico/Iron and Wine session. Given the opportunity would you like to do something with Calexico? I would personally love to hear that.

Hi Charles,
Have you ever made any particularly frivolous purchases over the internet while under the influence of alcohol?

Hi Frank,
A few questions for you to answer or ignore!:
What attracted you to the myth of the Selkie?
Which version of "Dirty Old Town" did you first hear? Are you a fan of any other Ewan MacColl songs?
How would you describe the difference between the "Honeycomb" cd and the catchily-titled "no longer to be called the Sicilian" sessions/album? Did you get any good Townes van Zandt anecdotes from Cowboy Jack Clement?
All best

Frank, what's your favorite snack? It's nighttime, the kids and woman are asleep, you're wandering downstairs, kinda hungry. Me, I'd go for some chips and salsa? You?* Thanks!

Hey Pops, how's Jack? I guess he's scooting around the house pretty good now, huh, probably pulling up on things and standing. How 'bout that personalty, are you getting a glimpse of it yet?
Are you and the Mrs. ready for the next one? Sooner rather than later I bet.
Enjoy!

Hello Frank,
thanks for stopping by. a real treat. really looking forward to "not the sicilian/ honeycomb II". i really dig honeycomb! and excited to hear that you're planning on getting together with edf again. would this be material for a frank solo project or possibly for the pixies?
and would you ever consider being involved in a fbnet ping pong tourny?
