So a few weeks ago I started listening to Frank Blacks solo stuff again…It had been a few years I think…And today I watched “Loud Quiet Loud” again. It’s a documentary about the Pixies reunion. It dawns on me (after some careful math) that the Pixies recorded their first album 25 years ago…1986. The era of WTF music! And they (meaning FB – or whatever alias he wants to use) were making great music in the era of GnR, whitepuke, Bon jovi etc etc etc…
So I salute you Frank Black…I also want to note that the solo stuff he’s made is every bit the equal of the Pixies stuff. It’s a shame people don’t realize that…
At Southside 2007 (a german music festival) I think I had about 2 bands that I absolutely wanted to see (Modest Mouse and Frank Black)…both were rather sparsely attended I thought. The Frank Black show was better experience for me than say Pearl Jam, Placebo, QOTSA or whatever crappy bands I saw that year 😉
anyways, so 25 years after your first recording makes you eligible for the RnR hall of fame right? How weird is that?
I also realize that he does a lot of clever stuff/riffs on Rhythm guitar…go Charles!
and I’m also adding that Frank Black is the genius of his generation IMHO 😉
Hi son, jackson has been sharing some of the music he loves. Have you ever heard of jimi hendricks, wishbone ash, skyler someone…..what skill on the guitar, hendricks did a star spangled banner that is unbelivable….dont dis just because , check it out….hey if you have sent any e mails they have not been received….shari is coming in aug to oregon, will you be able to call….?
happy resurection day….love ya mom and jb….
Of course I know Hendrix and the SSB version. It’s very famous…I’m guessing you’ve heard it at some point in your life. I’d be shocked if you didn’t. You probably didn’t realize who was playing it…
I can probably give a call in August, but I won’t be over then. I have to be here for my green card renewal etc…
You should have been playing Hendrix for me when I was 12 😉
Music was never my strong point….I never heard Hendrix, just about him from your dad….It has just been the last 20 years that I have felt music…..you know what i mean by felt….its all about the anointing or lack of on the music. As you know jackson is a musician, baseguitar, singer, and drummer….so im getting initiated quickly…..love you mom
so it’s your enlightenment 🙂
Good for you! I would encourage you to explore new literature, art, film etc…New ideas are good for staving off alzheimers and such 🙂
