what is the most common occupation of FB fans? are they as people tend to think, nerdy... sci-fi weirdo's... who sit infront of computers for most of the day enjoying quirky music ?
i dunno (just wondering)..... if posted before, apologies.. |

I'm growing a beard, I make the best quesadillas, and I think the self titled CD is yellow.

Frank fans are a motley bunch indeed
But we are united by the fact that Frank's music does something wonderful to our heads
and that is as far as I'm willing to generalize... |

Let's see here. My occupation? I'm a librarian. I only work part-time, unfortunately, but I have a degree in it and everything.
As for your other points:
Nerdy? Absolutely.
Sci-fi? I like it all right, although I think I'm more of a fantasy fan overall.
Weirdo? You got me dead to rights on that one.
Sitting in front of a computer for most of the day? Well, yeah.
Listening to quirky music? I guess, although I don't like to use the term "quirky."
So maybe I'm stereotypical in some ways. On the other hand, I get the idea that I'm different from most of the people here. So I don't know.

to clear this up, hopefully for ever: the FB self titled CD is yellow, but the FB self titled LP is orange.
so, you are quite normal.
but the CD sounds better if you color it green.

but does anyone think that there is a certain type of person who gets into frank black (not neccessarily nerdy) but a certain pyschology (can't spell) that at least makes it easier to get it (the music)..... and if one has that certain pyschology, it would also be more likely that he/she would like books, computers and other stuff.... like my favourite book is 1984 (im not a huge book or film fan either, tbh like 2-3 books a year)
and more such musings |

I´m a girl too, and and I think there are only a few F B fans which
are not male...I´m also Portuguese...that´even more rare!
My occupayions are mostly take care of my two children and listen to music.
I don´t know what you mean by sterotypical?

As a heart surgeon by day, I hear it alot from people: "what does 'Pixies' mean, that you've stitched into my chest?'"
So I have to explain that they were Frank Black's former band.
Kind regards,

I sort of get the idea that there are a fair number of female Pixies fans, but not quite so many female Frank solo/Catholics fans. Males probably outnumber the females in both categories, though.

| judging by a lotta people's "favorite music" lists ive seen...i think its safe to say there's a diverse group here from various backgrounds that dont fit into any mold easily....and judging by the pics of seen on this board there's no stereotypical look either. some people here look like ordinaries, some like indie rock kids, some like geeks, myself..well, im 28 and i still dress like a 1990 t-shirt and jeans "raver" type with long hair (though my party days are long gone...i just got too used to the big clothes...heh). |

Well, I guess the most of you are 20-40 years old and have a big musical culture. As he said, Frank needs a few listenings to love his records, so probably we are patient people. And we all love sghettis too!
P.S.: I don't like sghettis so much, but you know, I'm not the stereotypical fan

I like spaghetti, but I don't make my own music or know much musical trivia, so I think I'm different from a lot of the people here in that respect.

Obrigada!!!
Where did you learn to speak Portuguese? It´s not very common!
This was really a surprise to me!
This Forum and people in it are really great, it must be like that as we all like so much F.B. music!

I listen to music stereotypically (with my ears)...hope that doesn't leave me out of the cool cliques...
computers are neat, by the way. |

| Another female FB fan here ! It does seem that everyone I know who digs Frank's music is male. I don't consider myself a geek, but I do spend my days on the computer because it is how I do my job. I'm a telecommunications technician, working with fiber optics.I also play guitar, and have a great appreciation of Franks' song crafting abilities. Let's just say his tunes rip my head off!!! From what I can tell, it seems like the folks on this site are quite diverse. |
