i can't believe you guys were so crappy towards the man(dave said he was, right? i'm a little confused).well, i've never had the chance to talk to him before, so hey! and frank, if you see a very nervous teenager walking towards you at some point after the vicar street gig in dublin, don't let her change her mind and run away!
and smyt is officially now my favourite kiss(i mean record) ever. thank you sir.

I was wondering if you were going to play any gigs with the Catholics in the USA (Washington DC area) before the Pixies reunion?
Also I was wondering what kind of acoustic you used when you recorded "Farewell Bend"?
Thanks for all the great music.
A very specific question...will FB&THECs play D.C. BEFORE the Pixies reunion? Huh.
I think I played my 1956 Martin (ees ay good wun...) |

I was wondering if that was true or not because eventhough the folks at Virginia Tech may not know it yet, they really want to come play for us. Great job the new album.
oh yah and did you ever hear that tribute album?
man this thread is getting out of control fast hah. well time to do laundry
-miked
Make us an offer....a GOOD offer! See you at the gig.

So is all the pixies reunion articles we've seen online true, or is some of it exaggerated?
Glad to see someone else is enjoying the mr. show dvd's. |

Alright, well sorry for asking for another scrap, but since you seem to be kicking around I do have one more question that I didn't ask a few pages ago:
We had your express permission to do the Frank Black tribute (please be sure to pop by with comments after you hear it, we'd love that). We're about to start a Pixies tribute album as the 'next step' and just wanted to receive your OK on going ahead with it and covering those songs. It will be the same thing as before, no money changing hands, just a fun project from some of your most devoted/obsessed fans. :)
Thanks.

Ooh, I finally thought of a question for the theatre lady to ask: Did you enjoy your Disastodrome experience? Do you have any plans to do anything similarly theatrical in the future? The set/light designer is my boss/friend & he spoke very highly of your performance.

As long as one makes themselves understood to me, all is good. Thanks for fixing my responses; I'm new at this. I get how to leave the quote in now... |

Frank Black, sir,*bows*(come on guys, be respectful!) couldya maybe play the snake or coastline in dublin cos i'd love to hear those live. you played new house of the pope and nadine if i remember correctly and they rocked on just the semi-accoustic so...yeah.
and i like the term 'uber-fans' though if anybody else said that i'd probably hate it.

well ok, here're some questions..
¬ What's Billy Radcliffe about?
¬ What song did you play on that VH1 show in March '02 that never aired, Late World With Zach?
¬ What are the chances of more unearthed Pixies stuff being released (such as the Pixie versions of Brackish Boy and Surf Epic)?
¬ Do you have any comment regarding the pre-pixies dorm room demos that are available online? (Draw Attention, Fight With Honor, Just Keeping In Time, Silhouette)
¬ Do you like the Gigography of this site? spiffy, huh?
the answers are almost always in the lyrics...oh yeah, forgot about that Pixies version of BB...huh...I DO like the gigography. I just noticed it the other day. It made me feel...tired...did I play all those gigs? Well, thanks for it if you had anything to do with it...never did that VH1 show...those old demos...man....embarrasing. What are ya gonna do? Gotta start somewhere. |

Hello Frank,
Looks like you are currently holding court. Thanks for sharing your time. Love your music- especially your lyrics. I find the song "All my Ghosts" very interesting with the references to the fallen angels and henry the eighth. Can you give us any hints or insights into the song?

Frank, I wanted to thank you for the Paris solo show you did at The Batofar this summer, and specially for the Shrimp Song translated in French.
Do you know who will open for you in Paris in November?

Maybe Frank [you] can tell us about different tunings for other songs. (hey I am the tabmaster, just doing my job people)
-the Adventure and the Resolution?
-Jaina Blues?
Any of those use different tunings? I thought maybe Adventure tunes down 1/2 step but I haven't really tried to figure that out yet. And I'm not gonna try to figure out Lyle's handywork, though I think he uses delay to get alot of those cool riffs.
 "I joined the Cult of Frank / But I got tired of hovering."
I think that Adventure is DADADE; Jim Jones from Pere Ubu showed me that...Jaina is one of those Keith Richards tunings...Dave Philips showed me...can't remember right now. Actually I gotta learn it again if we're gonna do the song...guess I could play it differently. |

Well, how serious are YOU about Jainism? Now, karma free diet...is that like free-range? Sorry. A little dark humor. I dig the Jains. Ever see the monastery with the bug chutes? Gently sweep 'em in and send 'em on their way! Amazing. The Jain grain sellers, too...with the food bowls for the rats! Great. No. I do dig 'em. I like that one site. real peaceful-like. I guess philosophy is something that you can dicuss all night. But I like to read the Jain stuff on that site from time to time. Dunno why. Just do. |

Hey Frank, just wanted to say a quick hello. I think I speak for many of us here when I say that it's awesome to have you stop by the board. Harris, you too.
I guess my question for you is two part:
What music have you been listening to these days, and have you read any good books lately?
I'm ashamed to say I haven't picked up SMYT yet, but I plan on doing so with the utmost quickness.
Anyway, safe travels and I'll be looking forward to the next Catholics show here in DC.
Later!

Frank, do you guys ever play ANGST live? Would you consider it in London?
Also, what is your favorite book? If you have one. 
Thanks for visiting us, we (obviously) appreciate it. |

The Session you did with Glen Hansard... rather than going it alone, why he? Are you a fan, a friend, or just happen to share the same PR people here in Ireland? Believe it or not there could be a lot riding on your reply
Explain. Is some guy gonna lose his pinkie if I give the wrong answer?

OK, one last feeble attempt. People are going to start gnawing my shins if I don't go cook dinner soon.
I maintain the FAQ section for the website. Is there any question/answer combo that you'd like me to add to that section so that you can quit answering it? Anything you're just sick to death of answering for the patrons? (Besides my questions? :-)
