After much careful deliberation, I've decided that IMO, "Show Me Your Tears" is by far my favorite moment in the FB cannon, Pixies or otherwise. I'm really fascinated by the autobiographical nature of the songs, as well as the two-track recording... and basically the overall vibe.
Can anyone tell me what other songs may have been recorded/released from these sessions? You know, b-sides or outtakes, possibly those ITunes songs that were circulating....
I'd like to put together sort of an 'expanded' edition of the album for my own usage. Can anyone help me find this info?
Thanks so much!

Can you tell me anymore about that release?
Are there any other tracks besides those b-sides from the sessions that are currently available? Sorry, I'm impatient to hear more of this era :)

Take what you want, Down in the Hole, Preacher's Daughter, A Dabb'l Do Ya, Show Me Your Tears, Don't Clip your Wings, Snake Oil and Ludwigshafen.
Those songs were from the same session and are indeed on the b-sides compilations. (which are, as far as I know of, not anounced to be released yet)

| I threw SMYT in the CD player this weekend and my son (20 months) just started rocking out to Everything is New. Just siting in his high chair bobbing his head. He did the same thing for The Snake. It was pretty funny. |

Am I the only one here to think that Preacher's Daughter is one of the best songs Frank has ever written?

i once read that frank said SMYT goes best with scotch and red wine (in this order). fuck me, he is right. don´t know about the scotch, but i´m just drinking red wine and i´m listening to SMYT - it works perfectly ! especially new house of the pope...

| New House of the Pope works perfectly every time, wine or no wine. I think that is the only song in the world that can make me feel drunk without having had a drop. |

I think this album has, by far, the best craftsmanship and instrumentation of any Frank Black related album (yes, even Teenager) and fuck me if the songs aren't some of teh best he's ever written. I think anyone who claims they don't like this album needs to put it back in for a few more spins because it's absolutely incredible. And it's looking to me like Honeycomb may very well top Show Me Your Tears; I can't wait till whenever it comes out!

Yup, that's my SMYT "bonus disc", in a slimline double case with the original. |

Preacher's Daughter should have been on SMYT, don't know why frank left it off, but it's one of his best songs, plus it has big production with kick ass instruments and cool solo's.

well personally I don't care for Show Me Your Tears (the song) and A Dabb'le Do Ya, those songs sound rushed and b-sides material, but when I listen to the other two, I can't help to think that they aren't any less than anything on SMYT

After tracking down most of the aforementioned oddities, I can't imagine why "Preacher's Daughter" and the titel track might have been left off.
But... if that had been on an otherwise perfect album too? Well, my head would have exploded.
Thank you, Charles. Thank you for not making my head combustion fears a reality.

SMYT is the only frank black anything I regurarly listen to at the current time, and I'm talking 20 times a week. for 4 months...
I have every CD and other stuff. but at the moment SMYT is 99% of anything having to do with FB...
Before SMYT what I listened to FB-wise was more assorted
I am looking forward more to the next FB&C album than I am the hundreds of dollars I've spent on disc-live of the reunion pixies
I won't get to see the Pixies... they only play in big cities far away and the ticket prices are 4 times as much as the catholics...
Even though it screws me over, I am glad they are taking good care of themselves
Frank is the best |

i'm still not tired of it, either and I too continue to play Show Me Your Tears a few times every week. It's not too complex and I don't hear anything "new" in it that I didn't hear the first few times I played it, but I don't care. It never stops sounding good to me.
I'm in a big Frank Black phase. Maybe it's a reaction to all this Pixies stuff goin' on. I've been listening to all the solo and Catholics stuff lately. I drag the whole collection to work each day. Cult of Ray has aged real well for me. And for some reason I've had "Can I Get a Witness" stuck in my head all week. |

See... I haven't really been blown away by CoR yet. The songs that affect me most on the record are two that I never hear anyone mention: "Creature Crawling" and "Dance War".

Marc With A C,
"Creature Crawling" and "Dance War" are great songs.I think "CC" is one of Franks best songs.Just listen to CoR again.I like all of the songs on the cd.I like it better than Teenager of the year, but that's just my opinion. |

Awesome, Mr. Grieves!! Your son will grow up with a deep cultured respect and good taste for rock music, all because of your good parenting! 
SMYT is definitely one of Frank's best. One of the albums in my collection I play air guitar to. (And a MEAN air guitar, at that!!!)

I got the album when it was released, um, but I was fond of certain tracks such as Massif Centrale because I saw Frank debut them solo that summer.
It is very well constructed. Love it.

Cult of Ray is a solid, entertaining rock record. Not much more, not much less. It's a cheeseburger and a milkshake. Frank's last attempt at lookin' for a hit.
I like the production. The guitars are right in your ear. |

| I have always thought CoR was very cartoonish. Look at the cover and the cover of the IDWHY singles, for example. He seemed to turn himself into a cartoon for that period before FB&C's came out. He then shed the cartoon to rock. |

i haven't been able to remove it (SMYT)from my cd player
every time i go to put in a different cd i just wind up pressing play again
on a further note,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
my son is 12 these days, he was listening to the pixies as a baby and digging it
when they come to play nyc we are going together, it may turn out to be his first concert ever
do you think i am going to ruin his future concert going enjoyment?
i mean, after all, what is ever going to top that?

IMHO
Best album if you include the Pixies : Bossanova
Best FB album : TOTY
Best Catholics album : SMYT.
I must say I think that the emotional distance that, in my heart, separates Bossanova from SMYT is very short.
