Hi Charles!
I only became aware of your music this year and I haven't been able to hear all of your music yet, but I am working on it. Bluefinger is awesome and Violet is a wonderful compliment to your music on the album. I hope we hear more from her.
Congratulations on the little one you have on the way.
Thanks for all the great music!
It's not you I don't like

Nice pitch on the cover, coastline. Maybe you've planted a seed...
Glad to hear more Grand Duchy and more Thompsons are on the way!

hi frank
come to austria again with your own show, please. i still feel the 2003 show in my bones. i didn't go to this novarock festival since such festivals piss me off. you have some fans, but you won't meet them at such festivals.
any future collaboration with lyle workman? what about a song about hermann soergel? why don't you reactivative souled american for your backup band?
cheers

| Have a beer for us in the U.S. I was just thinking about it and I doubt I would have ever heard of Captain Beef Heart if it were not for you. It is a good name. I was thinking about enyoyable names using using Captain Beef Heart as a foundation. Like Captain Pig Heart, Captain Dog Heart, Captain Milk Heart, Captain Fart Heart, Captain Coffee Heart, Captain don't mess with me Heart, Captain stuck in my Heart, Captain Hard Heart, Captain Smelly Heart. Anyway, I don't know what the point of this is but enjoy Europe. |

If I was going to Europe for the summer just as a vacation I'd concentrate on the continent, maybe that's the rationale for his tour. I don't think there's any obligation to play in a particular place, though I'd love if the man made it to Glasgow. We have a tower that's supposed to spin 360 degrees but never works, if that helps... It's the antithesis of the London Eye which spins, but isn't a tower.

Hello Frank,
I can't really understand why some fans like you just singing without
playing guitar. You once said "I am guitar player, no dancing bear...". Hope
this will be true forever.
I like your music most when you are playing with guitar solo.
I hope you will have enough of just singing very very soon and return
to your Telecaster. I think many of other FB fans think the same without
posting it here. Anyway, thank you for your great music and see you
in Nijmegen, July 5!
 You take the moon, I'll take the sun |

well thank you for all the purchases past and present!
i usually email a few copies out there to a small circle, but usually nothing comes of it. perhaps a BIT of chatter here, but certainly nothing like the recent bluefinger discussion and downloading that has been going on. i'm fine with all of it. i appreciate the interest!
grand duchy is about halfway through an "album". we have certain delightful little people who require our attention which means violet and i move at a slow pace on the project. we hope to finish this summer while on vacation in france. who knows when we will have live gigs; WE HAVE ANOTHER LITTLE PERSON ON THE WAY! we are truly blessed.
Frank...are you with us? Somewhere in France judging by the date.
Well Im heading to the Amsterdam/Rotterdam shows from Australia, so save your breath, don't sing too loud for the French! It took some heavy planning to catch a non-festival euro show whilst in transit to Israel. Maybe see you in the Dead Sea..maybe the Red?
Thanks for the music and Kol Ha'Kavod on your upcoming bub!

1. I'd love to see this be the album cover art:
2. What was your Brood research process? Some have speculated that it was done 99% with Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc. Throw in a little record-shop research, and you have an album? Is that far off?
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs.
And if you don't use the Brood painting for the cover, Frank, you could use this great shot by Jediroller:

Here's a clue, from another forum member's review of the Lille show:

On Treeshold for example, he sung main part of the song on his knees, and then lying on the scene (sorry if I don't explain very well, but I have some linguistic limits...).
Someone will soon have a fantastic photo to show (I think it was you, Jediroller)!!
Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

I have a question; back in the the mists of time when this here site was in the beginning of its evolution, I posted a message about the cover of Teenager of the Year and I'm curious if it was ever confirmed that you responded with an answer involving the costs associated with producing artwork etc etc...
I only ask because I got into an argument with my ex about this - thankfully I have hobbies and other interests, but it would be good to add to finish yet another conversation with "right there in black and white and THAT is why I never married you..."
Sounds twisted but trust me; its' really really funny ;-)

Wow, if not the album cover, it should be the promo poster or something! That is an unbelievably cool shot!
It's also kind of an evolution of the Death To The Pixies pose.

I took the liberty of posting it on Pixiesmusic (crediting Jedi, of course), also on another non-music forum, and it has been praised indeed!!

I'm almost sure that it was on the end of Treeshold (I was in the front row something like 50 cm behind you Jediroller, and it was like if Frank had decided to offer you this shot, he spent a lot of time in this position just in front of your camera. It was awesome!)
