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
FRANK THINKS A CATCHABLE COLD

You're missing the obvious:
TENTH FB ROCKS ALL CANADA... CHIK
Uhh.. yeah. So, made supper? Chik. Made idiot of myself? Chik. Swapped letter 'i' for 'ec'? Chik!

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

Hi Charles,
Say "hi" to us soon, please. I need a little love right now. Chatting with you makes me feel good for at least a month.
Dig it, babies. Tell 'em more cow bell!
Oh, cheese. Wonderful cheese. I love you. |

Hey Frank-
First I hope your birthday was or is super cool and happy!!!
Here are two dumb questions you don't have to answer.
1. Would you ever guest star on South Park and if you did what kind of plot would you want it to have?
2. Do you have a favorite easter candy? If so what?
(this forum puts me in a silly mood. I can't help it.) |

That is a beautiful thing. That represents everything for me about fandom and digging good music and rocking out. Those two put Madonna and Cocorosie and American Idol to shame. Long live simple, elegant, charmingly stupid shit like that. Huzzah! |

Hi Charles,
When you are happy with, and decide to put a cover song on a record, is there a little bit of you that wishes to promote the artist who wrote or originally recorded the song? I ask because artists of your caliber are in a pretty powerful position to do so if they choose. I mean, if I was at your level of marketability, shit yes, I would throw one of my buddies band's songs on there and credit the hell out of it. But that's just me.
Just wondering what you think about during the process. |

| Mr Black. Like you did with the song 'Dog in the Sand', have you ever expanded on any of the other riffs in 'Surf Epic' ? |

Thanks Dean. I noticed your sig on my first visit to this forum. I also love the 'hold on, i'm getting a call' gag from the podcast. My wife and I have shared it with many, since then. BTW, great site, great podcasts. Thanks.

Frank, happy late B-day.
I always know when your B-day is because my wife was born on 4/6/64....(damn I'm getting old!)
I have two young children, too.....Ray, age 4 and Claire, age 1 and a half.
i hope my old posts on this thead (years ago now), didn't get you too down.
were all still here, alive and kicking.........hope you still believe, how could you not after looking into your childrens' eyes.
take it light, take it bright......
P.S. recently bought a home in Albuquerque......come play in Duke City some time
thanks, Doug |

hey frank,
congrats on the newest addition to the family! hope you're getting a bit of sleep. really looking forward to fm/rm. i have a feeling i'm really gonna like it! and thanks for the dog sleep preview. anyways the mrs and i are heading to the sasquatch festival at the gorge in washington at the end of the month to check out some great music. i've never been there but the pics of the venue look pretty cool. how did you enjoy playing there last year with the pixies? ever think about returning to the gorge? say in a few weeks for a solo show!! anyways take care.

Hey Charles, Hi.
What's that little ping into Ramona about one minute? Mysterious. Sounds like a hearing test beep.
BTW- How's your ears holding up? Mine are shot. We're about the same age, but I have nowhere near the stage time that you have had. Ringing a little? I worry about my hearing. I think I'd rather be blind than deaf. |

Hey Frank, im looking forward to Fastman raiderman, i hope its harder then honecomb (ive heard it is). Cuz Frank, honestly, you gotta make hard abstract rock music, because your the only one who can do the style that you do. your one of a kind. and your kind is my favorite kind. and if you go off and do all this other stuff that you call "cliche" then who is left to fill you place? Im sure ill love your stuff no matter if its polka or whatever, but please frank, im only gonna be young and crank up the volume loud once. so please, continue to rock.
thank you.
