frank black solo: S and D

Finished listening to Oddballs. Quite good, but made very worthwhile for "At The End Of The World", "Annoucement" and "Jumping Beans". The latter is a lot of fun and I love the wonky guitars in it.

Tempted to get more of his stuff because I miss him but I've got 14 of his albums and most of them are just sort of okay and the new Pixies stuff I've heard sounds just okay too. The first three solo albums are the only ones I recommend without hesitation but I'm fond of some of the others. I'm perplexed by the shortness of this thread. There always seemed to be plenty of his stuff in shops but maybe he did better in Britain?

I love Eric Drew Feldman on the early albums (and Trompe Le Monde) and always wondered if any other bands really showed him off. I got the first Knife+Fork album and liked it.
