yeah i had a look on the net as well, but nothing.. lets just say its him. great bass player - seen his live stuff with p.j. harvey. he really gets into it. love it.
I knew he mada a cover of this roxy track but this is the first time I've seen it. If he was gonna cover any roxy track to match his madness. It had to be this one.
It is CPL 593H. It's a British car registration no (year 1970) that the song's writer (Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music) once owned and spotted a year or so later when a good looking girl turned up and drove off.
oh,ok. fair enough... i guess it is easily possible to get it wrong, CPL-5938 was what the bassist and guitarist sing in the choruses (when thet did sing!) .. i know this for a fact (i was the guitar tech for this tour and we did discuss it) but i'm not gonna linger on such a tiny detail, they rock and it's still a good version of a good song!!
Yeah they sound great. I missed Black Francis a few year's ago but am pleased to say that I am going to the Wedgewood Rooms gig in Portsmouth in February.
I love Frank, and Roxy are gods. All respect - but this cover sucks ass.

God I wish I still had my copy of Oddballs. I love the studio version of this song, and I can't find it anywhere.

How is this guy? Is this the dude that sings with Jack Black?? Pretty good version of a great song!

This guy is Black Francis AKA Frank Black AKA CMK Thompson IV.
He is one of the most influencial rock characters to have raised from the 80's and he knows a few secrets.
...and he has very good taste for covering songs.

loathar21, you are one lucky dude. this guy's catalog is huge. He's the most under-acknowledged talent that America has ever produced.
Start with the Pixies. You could chew on that for a year or so.
Don't miss Kim Deal.

No fucking way... I always thought the tune was too punk for Ferry... it's perfect with Frank's screams. I mean, PERFECT. CPL-593H!
