Poor Frank... He suffered from the "Prince" syndrome (and Ani DiFranco) by simply not knowing when to edit himself. Perhaps with better management, he could have made a more significant impact. Edit, Frank... Come on Pilgrim... You know we love you!
One minute, he's singing about PT Barnum and Bigfoot, then about the face on Mars, goes into an underground-trash-rock anthem for the Univ. of Massachusetts, and before you know it, he's singing an ode to sea monkeys! Who else can do that?
don't forget others about corrupt priests, waiting for your drug dealer, sexy surfer alien chicks, The three stooges, a trip to area 51, and ping pong.
Frank's got a lot of talent when it comes to switching up his vocals. And a lot of talent in songwriting too. He's just great and I feel thankful that he's still putting out albums. His nashville albums are some of my favorites.
It did get insanely popular... AT my house. First time I've ever seen this video though. Anyone know where I can get this? Is it on a dvd? New album "Bluefinger" out soon!
I had my copy of Bluefinger preordered for the euro release... Then I realized that by the time it gets to my house, the US copy will already be out.... so I screwed myself a bit :(
I caught this video for the first time when Frank Black was on 120 minutes on MTV and I went out the next day and picked up the first three Frank Black albums. My collection is still a bit spotty but Bluefinger was great!
I'm holed up in my home waiting for the MIB but I'm out of peanut butter!

It's so weird seeing him perform without the pixies, He'll always be Black Francis to me.

2:05 - 2:35 "..just in case, I made you a copy and I put it in the maaaiilll." awesome. love the close up!
That bridge or whatever you call it after that is cool, too. I love how the background guitar moves off and joins back up.

Frank Black can write about ANYTHING.
One minute, he's singing about PT Barnum and Bigfoot, then about the face on Mars, goes into an underground-trash-rock anthem for the Univ. of Massachusetts, and before you know it, he's singing an ode to sea monkeys! Who else can do that?
No one. Long live Frank!

@barjonah What's even funnier is that all those songs you mentioned, from U-Mass to alien abduction, are based on Frank's personal experience.

I agree, Frank is a true genius, every album he has ever made has it's own feel, every song in fact...so versatile, pure genius.
