I missed the whole thing on purpose. I'm too cool to talk to my hero. (damn, fuck, shit!)
I have LeeAnn Tweeden's poop in my freezer. |

To what El Rey does the song on the upcoming album refer? The coffee shop in Globe, AZ I've heard you mention on Jonathan L's radio show a few times??? Very curious.

Hi Frank,
Did i hear correctly that your mother was "very religious"?
Because if she prayed to God that He would bless your music and use it somehow to glorify Him. Then He has done it! Your music has blessed me more then any other, christian or non-christian.
Praise God for your talent!

Hey Frank!
I just found out that there is a Charles Thompson Bridge in
Hickman County in Tennessee (where I work). Just thought I'd
share that with you! |

Question for Frank: have you seen the video I made for Brackish Boy?
it's here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=rYiuy5PST3E
I hope you don't mind I've made it public on this site. |

I find this attitude a little bit patronising, maybe Frank rocks because he works hard at it not because it's some god given gift, its fine if you choose to be religious but don't you think that approaching things from this angle takes away credit from and belittles humanity? But anyway at the end of the day it's great that people enjoy his music regardless, I'm not trying to start a debate here.

Hi, it's my birthday today (the 1st of April) I don't know in USA but in France it's the joke's day. But it's really my birthday. And my mother who only knows where is my mind (thanks to AOL) offered me honeycomb. I'm quite surprised. I'm actually listening this and I think to myself is it possible to see you in France in solo or anywhere else in France. I have seen the pixies twice but never you alone. I have another question. What do you use in concert for acoustic guitar please?
Thanks for your music
Thanks for all
Thanks for reading me
Prenez soin de vous
And have a nice day

We call it April Fool's Day here.

Last year on April Fools Day my French teacher told me that in France they call it 'Avril poisson' day (or something like that). Now I know (or at least think) that poisson means fish. So, is there any truth in the French calling it 'April fish day', or was she just trying to fool me?

We have no special name for the day - we call it the 1st of April -, but pranks you play on that day are indeed called "poisson d'avril" (April fish). I have no idea why this day is associated to fish here. A popular gag among kids involves sticking a paper fish to the back of unsuspecting people.

Yeah, my teacher was walking round the class sticking paper fish to pupils backs without them knowing, which I thought was rather strange at the time.
Y'know what? I've just realised that I actually miss doing French lessons at school!

At my old school you would learn either French or German (but didn't have a choice in which one). But I know some people at my college who did Spanish when they were at school, so I guess it just depends entirely on what the school chooses to teach.
But I suppose I would rather have done Spanish had it been an option.

Hmm I seem to remember being told a long time ago that the way April fools day (Avril trompe jour?) started was that people would stick actual fish to each others backs.

I always wondered about that: why do some english kids chose to learn French at school? I mean, instead of Spanish or German for instance. Are they many?
I think the usual thing (back when a language was compulsory) was for everyone to do French until 10th grade, and then to choose to continue and/or to do another language (at my school, German or Italian - no Spanish). French for English kids is like Spanish for American kids, so most people learn it. Why? Geographical reasons, I guess. And it's not like French is this obscure unimportant language.
On topic, anyway: hey Frank, was I wrong about the links between the songs (on page 40)? If not - well, I may not be in Oregon for much longer...!
And I remember that someone here is an Evil Superstars fan, but (hey Frank, again) do you know dEUS? I know there's an Eric Drew Feldman connection, at least.
I just love being able to write "hey, Frank". |

Most of the kids in my school took Spanish, but I took German. I always have to be different.

Same story with me, VoVat. Our german teacher was the real deal too. She was all pointy and cold and mechanical. Kind of scary at first- but we were able to dig the warm, kind, person out of her after two years. Sprockets! Now Dance!
Oh, cheese. Wonderful cheese. I love you. |

i wrote a frank black acrostic cause i was bored:
Flying down the highway in his car
rocketting so very far
a man and his guitar
never got much closer to the stars.
knowledge of another race
But chained by the laws of space
left him in a dark, dark place.
and prophecy will come to be
creatures of evil will be set free.
kill them all with freedom rock.
I'm not claiming that its very good, like i said- i was bored
oh here are some FRANK BLACK AND THE CATHOLICS anagrams:
BLOCK CANADA, A FLETCH NTH RISK
SKETCH DR FILTH, A BANANA CLOCK
ABRADANT KNOLLS, FETCH A CHICK
DATABANKS LICK A FRENCH CLOTH
EDF SHANT CHILL ON A BACKTRACK

Wow, I always miss Frank stopping by, and right around my birthday too. Ah well, I don't get to stop by here as much as I would like but doesn't mean I don't love you and your music any less =P Looking foward to your next album and a future gig around Atlanta(hint,hint).
Much <3

hi guys - i just wanted to say hi as this is my 1st post. ive been listening to the podcasts and am loving it. let me introduce myself:
my name is Stu and im from South Africa. im pretty sure im SA's biggest Frank Black fan - by a long shot! im currently living and working in London. I would love to see Frank live.
I started out on the pixies - but when i heard frank's solo stuff i was amazed. and now hooked. i have so many good driving memories to franks catalog. to sum up Franks music in one word: "refreshing". My fave song 3 in franks catalogue? hard... but ill have to just be ruthless and give my fave 3 that come to mind:
pan american hiway, st francis dam disaster, whispering weeds.
anyway enough blabbering. im glad i can get a chance to speak to like minded FB fans. im sending in a song to try and win the "oddballs" album coz thats the only one i cant get hold of.
maybe the song will make it onto the show.maybe not ! it would be the biggest compliment to be called a pixies ripoff !
cheers guys
