Hi Charles,
Taking about cats...okay a pretty tenuous link to the last quote and perhaps a dumb question...you wouldn't by chance be related in any way to Dr Joseph C Thompson who brought the first burmese cat to San Francisco in 1930?
We've been pretty lucky seeing you pretty much every year in Ireland in one context or another, but we're missing solo Frank badly. Sunstroke in the early 90s and Temple bar a couple of years back stand out as the most amazing gigs I've ever experienced...so if a family holiday on the Emerald Isle is on the cards, bring your guitar as a sell out venue undoubtedly awaits :) |

The king must reply soon. The subjects are restless. I'd like to say that I'm glad that I am a Frank Black fan and also glad for once that America is absent in promoting good music like that of el’ frank bibulous. It’s made for some really cozy venues where for a mere 15 bones I get to worm my way to front row and slam my oversized beverage to “whiskey in your shoes” first you grab it then you lift it then you pour it down. Man what a fitting tune for drinking away a lost relationship.
Frank, as for not addressing the crowd……, Well done. You have never been one to indulge in your lyrical content, nor that of the eyes of your fans. After all that would make you a rock star and then you would have to start humping the speaker system while you play guitar behind your back. I mean what do people expect long glance after your encore and a Chuck Norris thumbs up. Not me. That kind of confidence is born through ignorance and a false notion of self-confidence. From what I’ve seen over the years you’ve refrained from this pop “crap” and its cost you much riches but it didn’t cost you your pride. Way to hang tough buddy. You know Bono really talks you up in the Pixies Dvd. He says that “he knows somewhere deep down you have pop writing capabilities” and eludes that you could make it huge if you tapped into that realm of yourself. No offense if he’s your friend but Bono is indeed a “boner” (like that kid from growing pains) Soooo self indulgent. I like Bowie though. Some times I think Bowie is “the stranger that helped you when you were thirstiest” but he’s no stranger so I have to scratch that thought.
Well anyways I like all your stuff. I’ve listened to you dominate so many forms of music and the new stuff is my favorite to date. Sing for Joy is chronic. I’ve listened to that song over and over and it has a good quality of never getting old. The songs I like least on Honeycomb (this was no surprise to me) were ones that you covered. Violet in particular annoys me and doesn’t fid well with the CD. I think this song is sentimental to you because of your woman though.
Here’s a twist for you, can you please not make another Pixies album. I like the Pixies but I think your too old for that kind of shit right now and people are expecting too much. With the new stuff being so good anyways I say stay on track. Pull on my heartstrings a little more with all the new love in your life. Go with the flow, Pixies is done, do it for the cash if you need it but I’m so sick of every one bugging you about the Pixies. Nobody can seem to let that era go. It takes too much energy to make that kind of stuff and I feel like you’re mentally beyond it anyways. Ever since you guys broke up people have hounded the shit out of you about the Pixies, it bugs me because I like your new stuff better.
I could go on and on and on……….

Ha ha ha! This is my favorite part. Kinda like when Norman Bates says to Marion Crane, "I wish you could apologize for other people."

Hello Frank,
Every year myself and 4 of my friends book a few days away and catch a show of yours wherever in Europe you and your band may be, this has brought us to many nice places and of course Dublin is the place where we see you most. However this year no trip on the horizon, yes tragically sad i know. 
I have read that you are enjoying your downtime and i hope you enjoy it to the full.
Anyway to cut to the chase, and maybe this is tad forward but we would be forever grateful if could could inform FB.net first if and when you might decide to rack up the few next solo dates so my friends and i can catch the show. L.A, Oregon, Nepal not really an issue ( Dublin Temple bar MC preferably ), but we need heads up early to get the flights organised.
As Abba once so melodically sung, thank you for the music.
Yours probably clinically optimistic
Brother Sam |

I'm a big supporter of your live to two track material. Knowing the take is live, creates this wonderful tension that is lost on tracked stuff. I was considering taking a chance with my next project and recording the whole damn record in one long take. Aside from concert recordings, have you ever heard of this in-studio approach? And also, besides making sure we take our Zoloft, any tips?
that's the way they used to to do it. straight to the laquer...

Frankus, good to see you posting today. Can you throw us a bone about your latest release, the compilation cd or the dvd project? Any St. Francis/ End of Miles driving songs on the new album? Anything to seek teeth into would be great.
Regards,

Anyways, I was wondering if you had heard any of his electric work that he did at the end of his career? Like Night and Day, and I forget some of the other ones. All I've been able to hear are the electric tunes at the end of the Verve Jazzmasters set, which is not nearly enough! Have you come across any of his other electric stuff?(or any at all for that matter?)
hmmm...don't think i have heard the electric stuff. i'll check it out, thanks. ..just loaded some django into my pod not 5 minutes ago...

Hey Mr. frnck if you ever come to Chile, don't forget to visit El Valle de la Luna, it's the place that most look like the moon :) I'll try to look for some pictures to share with the forum.

I heard an old Blues song on the radio the other day and I also heard the story about the artist but not the artists name and am wondering if you can help.
He was/is an older musician in Nashville that would play on the street for a living until an RCA employee decided that they should record his music. Anyways, the record company wanted to try and preserve the sound of the street on the recoring so they added the sounds of screeching tires and horns and people yelling with the Doppler effect beneath the guitar and vocals. The music was incredible but I don't know his name?

This world's a fuckin' stripmall!
i know the feeling, but sorry, no. i had a panic attack like that a few weeks ago over some 80s new wave song. was seriously bummed i would never figure it out. i was googling for hours when i should have been sleeping... would like to know who did "snake oil" myself...can't figure it out. i have it on a comp cassette with very little info.

Hey Chuck, thanks for the info, tips, and request for input.
Definitely the lyric book.
And how 'bout making the sheet music available for this next one. I saw a booklet with sheet music from your old band, really a nice item, and a nice way to share your music.
Thanks,
OldManInaHonkyTonkCoffeeCan

I bet you and Jack will be spending even more time together the closer you get to the new baby coming.
Have you's picked out a name yet for the baby?
I wanted my two to have my same middle name, Garrett Ray and Maggie Ray, ala George Foreman, but the Mrs. refused. So now my daughter is stuck with Rebecca as a middle name.

Oh, and by the way, which songs are your favorite so far from your new record(s) that you've been working on.
And, did you bust-out the custom-mod tele's on any of the songs.
And, which ones did Rich Gilbert play with you on.
And, who was working with you in the studio in LA.
And, do you plan on releasing the new record(s) on Back Porch.
And,...thank you...thank you very much....

Frank you rule! I would say definately a lyric booklet
most of your releases had one, and you are a great writer, so why not?
BTW, if it's a decision between either Highway to Lowdown on the record
or a lyric booklet, go for Highway!
Just one more thing, are you familiar with the english guitar player Richard Thompson?
He's on cooking vinyl these days, could be a nifty sessionman for you

Frank back, yay! Congratulations on the new baby, Frank!
The inclusion of lyrics can spoil the mystery of an album sometimes, it suits some albums to include the words, though. It depends on what you're expressing, maybe!
