mine is:
Frank Black - Fast Man Raider Man

bought it yesterday… so i can’t tell to much know but i already listened to cd1 a few times and it’s pretty good actually… but i need a bit more time to let it grow on me.

I want that!! :D Have you got any of his others Gapu? Let me know how they compare. ;)

Last CD i bought was Monday and was the MCR album.

I have:
-teenager of the year
-fb & catholics - debut
-fb & catholics - pistolero
-fb & catholics - dog in the sand
-plus a few mp3’s (including a free internet album called “oddballs”, i believe.. i havent heard it yet. i just know they had a few songs that they recorded and then they decided not to release it officialy, cause they have better stuff to offer.)

i recently really got into “dog in the sand”. songs like “stupid me”, “the swimmer”, “bullet” or “i’ll be blue” really grew on me and i think they are just perfect. i somehow like this “blues-frank” a bit more like the rockin’ frank.. dont know why, maybe it’s just a phase, but i guess it’s the beginning of a new experience. actually i like fb solo/cathlics stuff more than pixies records. is that weird? i dont know. but you know, fb’s music isn’t as perfect composed as pixies stuff. he actually records pretty quick, he doesnt care about perfection, i somehow think he is just writing, playing, recording.. pretty fast. his music is , more or less, about charme. once you feel the charme of him and his music you really understand what he is doing. that’s how i feel about it.

anyway, from what i read i thought “fast man raider man” should be similiar. you know, all this country-folk-blues stuff. but it’s different, although it is the same genre somehow. i mean it’s good, but i guess its just so different because of the various new musicians with whom he recorded it. steve cropper (guitarist from the blues brothers) played guitar on this album, which is pretty cool! if he would have made it with the catholics it would probably have been like “dog in the sand”. but it’s interessting you also hear some trumpets, which remind me about “tennager of the year”. strange mixture, but it works! personally, i think he could sang it better… on the “dog in the sand” recorded he obviously was really into it, he felt something when he sang those songs.. but maybe it was his intention to sing it in a different way on the new record.

but i have just heard cd1 one yet, so this is just a first impression of my thoughts… don’t get me wrong, it is really good, very straight forwad, but at the moment i feel like i miss this “special-whatever-it-is” on some songs. i probably need more time for it, it was the same with “dog in the sand”.

which records do you have?

Show me your tears is my favourite Frank black & the catholics album..i strongly recommend it. I have all his other ones just need to buy the new one…Teenager is probably the best of his just solo stuff..the catholics were great live.

great you like him too! “nadine” is killer!
i think he is a really amazing musician.. and i am not talking about pixies.

i am afraid no, no podcast, not yet. what’s on there?

you know, actually it’s pretty hard to hear all the albums, because he is so fast in producing!

honeycomb is the best record since years, thats what i read on some websites… the new one includes some recordings from the honeycomb session. i was actually had to choose between those 2, but then decided for the new one, because its a 2cd set :D

i just checked are this podcasts all rare unreleased and b-sides material?

maybe we should start another frank black thread, because this wasnt supposed to be one :D

What i liked about the catholics was that they learnt the songs perfectly and then booked a studio or a room for one day and then played and mixed all the albums live to two track and that was it done no overdubs… I respect that alot, none of this three years in a studio touching up each note and sound.

me too..
and this means also that it is pretty rough, thats something i really appreciate. i love nothing more that rough recordings, of course there are some others with many studio-mixing stuff.. but i prefer rough stuff!

oh well? what means oh, well?

i recently signed on that forum :cool:
i must have overseen that section, oops… fuck today was my last school day before one week holidays, now i got to wait a while so i can download them. i hope they stay online, but i guess they do. cause they are still…

Last Album I bought was Blood Mountain by Mastodon :)

a bootleg of danko jones… Damn good :D
