Hey Charles,
Have you ever considered doing a children's album? With a 6 day old son, my thoughts in the last few months has turned to music intended for young ears. (of course I already have my FB lullabye mix ready!) I just figured with the likes of Leadbelly, They Might Be Giants, Dan Zanes (and all the great guest musicians he has play on them such as Lou Reed, Amie Mann, etc.) and countless outher brilliant artists having done it, a Frank Black kids album would be perfect.
Anyways, looking foward to FM/RM and everything else... Thanks so Much!

Hi Frank,
Along with a couple of other forum members, I had tickets to your solo shows here in Australia that were cancelled. Then there were rumours of a pixies tour down under, but so far no luck.
Any plans to head our way in the near future?

Hey Frank, can you tell us about Dead Man's Curve, what we're for now calling "The Rabbit Song", and "The Water"? They're not on Fastman Raiderman as far as we know, and, well, they're all pretty exciting sounding! Are these the demos you were working on? Are these tracks from an upcoming album with Schwarma or that other band that starts with a P? Solo stuff for work with EDF? Covers from songs received via Seti@Home?
Anyway, thanks for stopping in, it truly is appreciated more than you'll probably ever know, and I hope that you're getting some time at home before you go abroad with your guitar and 'wandering soles' once again.

I'm doing a short film for a school project about a guy who becomes addicted to fortune cookies. It's based off a Hubert Selby short story.
Anyway, do you actually eat the cookie part of the fortune cookie, or do you just read the fortune and giggle?
I discard the actual cookie. |

Not that you're asking me, but I eat it. Can't throw food away, after all, and they are tasty in a newspaper-clipping-with-sugar sort of way...

Hi Frank. I echo Dean's appreciation of your visits to the forum. Very cool of you to do that: thanks!
First thing that ever drew me to your music was the unusual and unique interplay between your guitar and Joey's / Lyle's / Rich's / Dave's. I haven't heard FM/RM, but will there be more of that kind of thing on the horizon with your new work?(please) Your guitar sounds have always been where it's at in my book.
Also, what kind of stuff are you listening to and enjoying/being inspired by these days? Any good thai meals lately? (Sorry-just thinking about the little siam line)
I tend to think of human beings as huge rubbery test tubes, too, with chemical reactions seething inside |

Have you found any time to read much lately, Frank? Probably not, but if so, what have you been reading? Any recommendations? I just finished a book (Cloud Atlas) and am in the market for another...

I'm reading "The Singularity is Near" by Ray Kurzweil and highly recommend it.

Hey Charles,
Why don't the pixies allow cameras at shows? I'm really into photogrpahy and love taking pictures of bands. It's kinda shitty I can't bring my camera in to pixies shows unless I sneak it in. Here's some photos I took of you guys I took in Winnipeg on the 2nd date of the reunion tour http://broszkowski.com/pixies/winn.html .
Thanks
Matt
P.S. Just wanted to thank you as well for letting me in for the Cleveland shows last year. I'm a friend of Ed's who was one of his plus 3 that went with him. |

Frank,
What interesting gifts have you spoiled yourself with since raking in some pixies dough the past couple years? cool new car perhaps? gold teeth?
And do tell what album you havn't been able to stop listening to lately?
Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you play NYC soon... |

| frank, wondering if you listen to much african music. the "ethiopiques" volumes have some awesome stuff. some of it sounds like memphis soul, some of it's pretty jazzy. jim jarmusch used some of the instrumentals from the series on his last movie. also johnny dyani, from south africa, a bass player who has some incredible stuff. also , the black disciples, who were jack ruby's house band in the seventies, have some really great jazzy sounding reggae instrumentals. robbie shakespeare was on bass, horsemouth wallace played drums. good stuff. i'd post a "you send it" but i'm computer illiterate, thank you so much for coming on the forum, that's a really sweet thing to do for your fans. peace. |

Hey Chuck,
I don't have any specific questions for you, but I happened upon fb.net when this was going down and I felt compelled to say hello. I'm going to watch Rocky now. I've never seen it before.

It's a mucking firacle.
$26 in my hand.
So can you please recommend a French dish for me (catching a plane in 36 hours or so--first time in zees country). Since I'm a big beef fan, I actually plan on the chateaubriand thing. Which reminds me,
Have you ever gotten a courtesy blink from a big rig? It happens sometimes.

Oh, and duh. Thanks so much for the 20 years of life fuel.
