He Is Him, He Swears
R. Alex Whitlock
I've been listening to a lot of Frank Black over the last week or so. I found him on EMusic and next to Chuck Prophet, he's been the best find. He apparently tours with No-Lyfe Productions favorite They Might Be Giants and used to be the lead singer to a band called the Pixies (which I've also downloaded and not gotten a chance to listen to).

In an interesting coincidence, earlier today I linked to an article that spoke of a different Frank Black that is/was heading a group of vigilantes in Houston.

Okay, well Frank Black isn't that uncommon a name so it's not too big a coincidence, but it is kinda funny that I've just found the guy and Sugarmama links to a post about Black entering a Frank Black fan forum and the questions that erupted about his authenticity.

Humorous stuff, whether you care about Black or not.

tossed out with such nonchalance!!! Such casual reference to an amazingly influential band! If you like acoustic punk/erocitc religiosity/screaming philosophy, etc - then you have the right band. :)

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
