JIMMY BIGNUTZ & FRANK BLACK PERFORMANCE!
I have removed the Frank Black videos I posted a couple of weeks back from my AdamBuxton You Tube channel and repsoted them on a new channel under the name JamesBignutz where I’ll put stuff that isn’t really Adam & Joe or comedy related or that I haven’t made myself.
The exciting new JimmyBignutz channel is where I hope to indulge the music nerd side of myself and commune with other music nerds many of whom have already responded enthusiastically to the first two Frank Black clips, so for them here is another.
This video of Frank singing You’re Such A Wire was filmed by Joe and myself when we were in Frank’s house in LA back in September 1998. We were there filming a Vinyl Justice segment for The Adam & Joe Show and before we left Frank (AKA Charles) played us a few new songs in his basement. Those songs ended up on his album Pistolero a year later and as I was leaving he gave me a tape of rough mixes to check out. If you’ve read this blog before you’ll know that I’m a massive Pixies/Frank Black fan (or ‘potentially dangerous stalker’ as Joe puts it) so you can imagine how intensely over-excited I was by that whole day. Driving back to our hotel listening to the tape having filmed a pretty good piece with Frank I was profoundly happy. Unfortunately this video doesn’t do the song or the man much justice as the sound from the camera mics is so rotten but if you’re a fan you may enjoy it. It’s also quite a handy guide to the chords for that song if you’re a guitar player!
