This gravity
Is feeling like a tether
I want to want to be
So high above the weather

All frequency around
Round, round, round, round
Without a sound

And there's today
And there's two spaces
And too many places
Not to go to, ooh

This big old sea
Is feeling like a pleasure
I look cautiously
At all the falling treasure

With some frequency it comes down
Down, down, down, down
Without a sound

And there's today
And there's two spaces
And too many places
Not to go to, ooh

Don't we all! Too much work in my life, that's for sure.

HA!  I was about to whine too.  Brilliant!  Still, 2 or 3.  I'll listen to the whole song before deciding.

I'd thought the original source of the whole "Frank is a fake" thing was Henry Rollins. But then I read recently that he actually loved The Pixies.

Anyone know the deal? (no pun intended :)

That's just because he's local to you and you hear about him a lot.

interesting, that's just the 2 songs that were played together today. i guess he can't reinvent the wheel every single day. and that was february 2006, so i guess playing the same combo a year and half later is ok. :)

Is that possible, to remind someone of an opinion?

Hmmm... Sorry but Charles is a genius. My opinion; yours may vary. The fact that the Bush retard is president instead of some other retard has nothing to do with it. Frank and the Heads are both worthy of your respect; I don't really care if you care.

But what about Los Angeles - and the new Burn today - I do see the suck in a lot of his tunes but he does have some gems too.

Sounds a bit more B52-ish to me.

Posted 17 years ago by timrd    [ Reply ]
Funny, as this song started I thought it was going to be Elvis Costello. Then, oh yeah, Frank. I do love Frank, but other songs better.

Man of Steel playin' on LRC at the same time, this is indeed a Magical Mystery Tour de Force, all credit to Rebecca and Bill for a wonderfull 24/7/365 show!

Love Frank. Saw him a few years ago and it was probably my fave live show ever -- or right up there. But this particular selection is one of his quirkier numbers.

They did it again! Are they just replaying a previous show?

Frank Black needs Kim Deal in order to make sense.

No, you can't. You have to listen to all his diversified stuff here on wonderful RP and then all the great Pixies music, and then . . . and only then, can you "sucko-barfo" everything by Mr. Black. Hey, you asked!

Well, now we know we should keep Danny Elfman away from Difford and Tilbrook... This was an annoying little tune.

I never bought his solo stuff. I guess it annoyed me that he changed his stage name so much. Kinda like Puff Daddy/P-Diddy nonsense. Frank Black, Black Francis, etc. No thanks.

Oh, the song of the day. Thank you for playing this. Any song off of this album is worth playing over and over.

Great - impossible to keep still to this one. Sounds a bit like David Byrne on this!!
Posted 20 years ago by britrock    [ Reply ]
Some of the riffs sound like early Police/Klark Kent. And I also would like to put in my vote for more Pixies! Black Francis, where art thou?

There's so many good reasons to like Frank Black, but I have to admit that one of them, for me, is that he's even fatter and balder than I am. :)

YES!!! Frank Black on RP! Please dig deep into the Frank Black file and continue! :D

I know Frank Black was in the Pixies. BUt I\'ve never heard any solo work before. The music (not the vocals,) remind me of a cross between Wall of Voodoo and Oingo Boingo. Interesting.

Black Francis! Frank Black! Please play "I Heard Ramona Sing" Bill! I heard Ramona sing And I heard everything The speed they're traveling They are the only thing Ramona There were moments in the night It was all right There were moments in the night The best of Frank's songs are sweet and short and to the point - "Two Spaces" being a good example, but "I Heard Ramona Sing" is classic! - Riff

I like it. It\'s like twisted circus music. Again, it makes me want to dance on my boss\' grave....if he were dead.

It is strange that RP will play Frank Black but not some of the more \"eclectic intelligent\" tracks from the pixies... mmm frank....

Here\'s to Frank Black! How about Headache? Calistan? Abstract Plane? Smart lyrics and always interesting music.
