WHY THANKS. A LIL OL DROPOUT LIKE ME? SNIFF...SNIFF.
There is this guy in my Sociology class that looks almost exactly like you Charles...if you want I can take a picture of him and spread that you are getting your masters or something nifty like that. |

You're quite popular in the physics department. Any plans to play in NYC to support the new album?
Thanks for the response - Ben |

| Do you get to Powell's often? That's an amazing bookstore. And in my brief time in Portland it seems like it shapes the town (or maybe it's the other way around) with so many people reading and learning. |

I saw Dana Gould performing in Hollywood right when Honeycomb came out and during his act he said "I don't have to be here. I could be off buying that new Frank Black record!"

That song must have an interesting story behind it's writing if you can't play it! :)
Incidentally, from what I've heard of Fastman Raiderman, it sounds like your singing has really improved (didn't think it possible, but here we are). Are you still taking some vocal training, is it just from maybe being more relaxed with the Nashville guys, or what's the story? Really looking forward to having the whole album in my hands this summer in any case.

THANKS. MAYBE THE RELAXED VIBE OF THE CATS HAS HELPED, I DON'T KNOW. END OF THE SUMMER WAS ADAPTED FROM GABRIEL FAURE; CLASSICAL, HENCE, NO CHORDAL KNOWLEDGE (THANKS, LYLE). |

| I saw you in Columbus a few years back at a place called Little Brother's.. you surprised us all by entering through the front door past the waiting line.. nudging me a little bit out of the way and politely excusing yourself.. do you do this often? Just to see reactions or was this a one time thing? (John Linnell also did a similar thing to me in Columbus too come to think of it.. odd) |

Yup, that's the one. The newer one, Fool The World, by Josh Frank, appears to be much better.

That's it for me. Thanks again for the visit!

Frank, I've asked this before but just as you left the last chat...
You talked back in the Show Me Your Tears era about recording something with an orchestra... is that still something you'd like to do, or have your tastes changed? Recording with Eric is kind of like recording with a one-man orchestra anyway, I suppose. I really can't wait to hear this, nor can I believe that we're getting a double album in a few months and you're already slaving away on the next one.
Meanwhilst, do you ever listen to movie soundtracks? Any favourites? Favourite composers? I love John Williams. He and you share the slot for greatest musical inspiration.
"If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate."
STILL HOPING FOR AN ORCHESTRA. FINANCIALLY CHALLENGING.... I LIKE THE GUY WHO DID MOST OF THE STUFF FOR FASSBINDER....NAME ESCAPES ME AT THE MOMENT. THERE'S A CD OF IT OUT THERE. YES. I AM SLAVING OVER THE NEXT ONE. ALTHOUGH I WOULD HARDDLY CALL IT SLAVING. IT IS....HOW SHALL I SAY?.... A PLEASURE. |

(( I'm a Snake... cut in half 'cause I'm not the one you needed. ))
I SHALL PASS ALONG YOUR REQUEST TO THE POWERS THAT BE... |

| One last question. I'm in a band and I were wondering if I were to somehow send you a C.D. of ours if you would actually listen to it? Not to try and get us on a label or anything but more of a "what do you think?" type of thing. |

In a few years have your kid watch Spy Kids...Good little action kid movie made by Robert Rodriguez. And then 10 years after that have him watch El Mariachi or Sin city also done by Robert Rodriguez...Lives right by my city. Im sure youve seen El Mariachi, if not, you are the king and thats what kings do. |

Even funnier because the friend I was with was also named John..i felt so left out |
