Hey Frank
I just recently send an e-mail to the band through the Sonic Unyon web site( canadian distributor). It's about rights to a few "teenager of the year" songs. It's for non-profit use in my animation demo reel.I'm an animation student at NBCC Miramich. |

Hi Frank...I'm a big fan.
I was wondering if you were going to play any gigs with the Catholics in the USA (Washington DC area) before the Pixies reunion?
Also I was wondering what kind of acoustic you used when you recorded "Farewell Bend"?
Thanks for all the great music. |

Mr.CT-BF-FB'
if ever in Chicago and feel the need for absolute top notch Iyengar Yoga
i can set you up.
actually one of the teachers(who is a Babe)who does stunning poses and
is an excellent teacher is moving to France this week so i suppose the
offer can extend there also, her name is Alexis.
(I'm no hotshot yogi - i just know from what i've experienced that it
helps anyone, especially with energy -it's excellente for that.)

Yup, I don't think we'll be seeing him again now that he doesn't get to reveal himself and this thread grew from 40-some posts to 140 in a matter of hours. Maybe I'll try to do some unclogging via some new topics...

Just like we did with frankusblackus. After a while it starts sounding like a bad fanzine interview.

Yeah, I know, I kept coming back and it kept getting worse. I was probably too late to stem the tide. Oh well, it was cool for him to pop by and confirm that he does indeed lurk in the shadows from time to time.

Hope to God he doesn't read the "general chat" section of the forum. I doubt he'd ever come back after that.

Frank do you ever play at Colleges. I saw some thing on ticketmaster websites that had the "price" it would take to get x band to play at a college, and it had you guys at a relatively low price. I was wondering if that was true or not because eventhough the folks at Virginia Tech may not know it yet, they really want to come play for us. Great job the new album.
oh yah and did you ever hear that tribute album?
man this thread is getting out of control fast hah. well time to do laundry

Gosh! So many queries! Where to begin? Well. Actually, I have a lot to do today as I am headed to Edinburgh tomorrow for our rehearsals. I'll be there for a week or so, so maybe when I get set up I'll get online and answer a few questions. Actually, i really like this one cyber cafe there in Edinburgh. Good espresso. Maybe I'll go there. OK. Back to doing my laundry and stuff.

Frank, the world needs Oddballs II. Some of us have lost our Dog Gone single and miss "Do Nothing" and "The Big Hurt".

Cool...... but I'm kind of disappointed that he didn't post a oneliner of 'Shaft!' beck to me when I asked him 'Who the black private dick whose a sex machine to all the chicks?'
On the other hand it's great to know he is up for a chat with us, welcome Frank!

OK...yay!
Frank, I'm not sure how the afore mentioned TOTY songs are completely connected, but I always read into BIG RED not as Mars being atmosphered, but Earth gettin' a jump start by martians many many years ago...and then themselves going the way of the dodo. Even if I'm wrong, can we still get a taco? Or a beer? Love the tears you showed us, by the way!

frnck blck- i would say the 4 songs are all about leaving to start something new. that's the best that i can do for now. my english teacher would be disappointed. how about a six pack for trying.
really like the game. do you have any other cool questions about your songs that we can try to figure out? or better yet, where can we get the coles notes version to your lyrics?
i still haven't heard the answer to the question you asked last tour in a record store appearance "does anyone know the meaning to the song dog in the sand?" |

Hey there Frank,
Thanks to you and the Catholics, and your back up band before them, and even back further to the days of the Pixies for making some of the most kick-ass, memorable music I've heard. (I hate sounding like an overzealous fan, but that is coming from the heart.) It was my older brother in law who intro'd me to the singles to "Dig for Fire," and "Alec Eiffel" all those many years ago and started the craze. (Well, started the craze for the Pixies, which later became for FB&TC...)
Wish I had a question for ya, but I would like it to be one you'd bother answering, not like "would you please come play in my back yard," or something. Will try back later.

For the Joey question, I'm gonna guess Manitoba, Everything Is New, and I would be very surprised if that's not him on This Old Heartache (my favorite).
I would also desperately like to know which songs feature Dave on lead guitar and which songs have Rich.
Other questions...everyone wants to know if the Pixies rumors are true.
The new record is truly incredible. Almost perfect. Perfect song placement, perfect length. You've outdone yourself and you beat the unbeatable Devils Workshop. Congratulations, and I'm hoping for many many more.

So Frankie finally decided to come and visit us here on the good ole forum. 
I've got a question for you; Which Catholics record are you the most proud of? I personally would have to go with Black Letter Days. I could never get tired of that album. That's a road trip album for sure.
Also, when you gonna come down to KY. and record an album with me? I'm ready to go............... |

Hey there, FB. Do you still like distortion when you bar chord? Your live shows still rock plenty and I'll keep going to them (Cat's Cradle in Carrboro NC).
I love you and all but any chance of injecting more of a rock & roll sound back into your studio recordings? Hope I'm not being a dickhead (and sorry for the colored text). Thanks man.

Oh shit! Can you believe I forgot to ask about the tribute CD? Atheist did all the mastering on those tracks so give it up, won't you? A4C gets mad props, as the kids say.
