She's gorgeous. She's got lips like Angelina Jolie. (Frank Black)
A lot of the gentle singing style of (jazzman) Chet Baker I noticed more than once showing up in my delivery, (Frank Black)
They're not too big on Thanksgiving up there. Our English tour manager, not really being familiar with the feast, did a nice thing and booked a private room for us to be served an American Thanksgiving. But they were these French-sized courses. It wasn't a bucket of mashed potatoes, the giant bird and piles of food. Instead it was like, 'And now, we present.. the pumpkin soup Voila' It was us and our crew so it was a little stiff. (Frank Black)
It's just, you gotta pay your dues if you want to sing the blues. Not that I've never paid dues in my life, but I just paid a lot in the last couple of years. What can I say It just gives your songs a whole lot more legitimacy. Or it causes you to write better songs or something, I don't know. (Frank Black)
You should never rely on interviews with musicians as being factual. Most of them are mangled and even have made up stuff in them, that is to say, made up stuff by the writer or editor. (Frank Black)
We don't want to overstay our welcome. If we were gonna go on tour next summer, for example, we feel under a little pressure to record a record or something. (Frank Black)
I will be meeting with Bruce and Frank Warren to discuss the future, (Frank Black)
They're so good. There are times when they're playing when it's just 'Oh my gosh, these guys are like the Rolling Stones or something.' It's pretty stunning. (Frank Black)
I'm just trying to record as much as I can, ... It's like a lifelong obsession with rock music that I've had since I was very young. I don't know what it is, but I like it and want to be around it and participate in it. It's the same today, a very youthful kind of feeling. (Frank Black)
I couldn't have asked for a better setup, even if it is my former shadow looming once again over me. I was able to start working with a top-notch publicist. My name is fresh on every editor's brain just because of this Pixies thing. (Frank Black)
I think there are some band members extremely keen to start making a record, and there are others who are more cautious because they don't want to mess with the legacy. They may be afraid that if we make a mediocre record that it will still come out, because the money has been spent. That's fair enough. (Frank Black)
Kim reminded (guitarist) Joey (Santiago) she liked my song and maybe she'd do a lyric on top of it, which is fine, because I've written lyrics for it like three times and have never really been satisfied with it. 'Gigantic' part two is in the works And it's going to be bigger and better than the first one (Frank Black)
I can't tap into the naive, spastic playing that you do when you're young, although we occasionally still play too fast. But, overall, I'd say we're much more muscular and we can play a lot heavier and, for sure, lighter, (Frank Black)
People go back to the stuff that doesn't cost a lot of money and the stuff that you don't have to hand money to over and over again. Stuff that you get for free, stuff that your older brother gives you, stuff that you can get out of the local library. (Frank Black)
I've always liked P.F. Sloan's 'Eve Of Destruction.' It's the performance by the singer, Barry McGuire, and, um, I would say it's also the chord progression and melody. (Frank Black)
