Say What?

Honeycomb (Back Porch)

Frank Black

"So who is this singer songwriter? There's a lot of talent there and I dig his voice."

"Guess."

"I dunno, the guitars are really sparse, rather bluesy, especially that Track 3, `Dark End of the Street' ... It's not Clapton is it?"

"No, man, listen to Track 1, `Selkie Bride.'"

"Nice steel guitar, mixed with electric, - cool! Lyrics: If you return again, I'll be the saddest man. Nicely allegorical, but that doesn't help me much."

"Listen to `Another Velvet Nightmare.'"

"OK, I know it's not the Velvet Underground!"

"No, but you're getting close on the scale of cool."

"Mmm, reminds me of `Where is My Mind,' by the Pixies."
