My girlfriend knew of The Pixies, but not Frank's solo stuff. I ended up getting her into both Frank Black & The Catholics and The Pixies. She's one of those people that listens to one song and puts it on repeat. She does that with Blast Off and I'm like put another song on please!! so she puts on Stupid Me and we're happy. But she doesn't like Frank's first solo effort but loves both all of his Catholics material, so I can let that slide.

Seems wrong to call it "Frank's first solo effort." Sounds more like an excellent freaking album more than just an effort. haha.
I'm still converting my girlfriend. I've copied her most of the Pixies albums and some FB. i think it just takes time. I'd be patient with your GF. I probably didn't start REALLY getting into Frank until a year after I'd heard my first Frank song. I matured, and now I know his amazingliness.
But if you've been dating a couple years already, better get an imaginary girlfriend...

Well, he certainly put a lot of effort into it, didn't he?

| i am lucky in that my girlfriend and children like frank/pixies. it would be quite the drag to suffer denegrating remarks from people i respect about people i respect, but hey it happens all the time. i usually just deal unless it is just not worth it. and then i don't, because hey it is just not worth. i also hope i don't have to pay 450 for tickets. do you think they'll play vermont |

Opinions cannot be 'right' or 'wrong', but they CAN be the result of ignorance. I do not like ignorant women.
Is not showing appreciation for FB result of ignorance?
And one more thing: I'm actually saying "put something other than Frank Black" to myself all the time. FB is special to me, and therefore, he must be used scarcely. Special things do not occur often, I think.

i don't discriminate when it comes to cute girls. not all girls i've dated were into Frank Black. but they usually like him.
my rule is: if we're in my car, i get to choose the music. if we're in your car, i get to choose the music. it works quite well. you should try and implement it. |

I don't really care what music girlfriends, friends, and relations are into. In fact, I often find that don't really like most music geeks all that much.
This week I found a Frank Black VIDEO that I forgot I had. It's a 1996 (August 1996 if the camcorder date stamp at the beginning is correct) show for some radio station festival. "Live 105". Shakey sound, but listenable. Shakey camcorder, but watchable.
Frank is more animated on stage than he usually is these days. He steps away from the mic several times and thrashes the guitar around or bobs up and down. He talks a little more, too ("Can someone get me a corndog? I've been thinking about it all day. Well, no I'd better not."... "Sorry our songs have all these long, stupid intros", he says right before "Whatever Happened to Pong?" gets going) |

| My fiance finally admitted to liking a Pixies song, being Allison. Now I'm gonna make her listen to all of Bossanova and go from there. |

My boyfriend didn't like neither pixies nor FB.(He loves NEW ORDER)
He said "Too noisy.I almost go mad".
Only FBTC he didn't hate. "Lyric. Cool guitar!"
Everyday we enjoyed listen to FB&TC .
And I remembered to compel him to listen to FB and pixies in the low volume once a day.
After three years , now , he can't live without FB.
Custom makes all things easy.

I read this thread's title and thought it to be some salacious tabloid story about Frank falling out with his family.

My mother can't stand Frank solo records. My sister hates the Pixies. My friends will kill me if I put some FB&C.
Well, perhaps this is MY reason to love him...
