Been working on a 'my favorite Black Francis (aka Charles Thompson IV, the guy from the Pixies) songs', and it's pretty damn tight.. Listening through now, I should post it up somewhere. Currently at 43 songs. Might be less after another listen through or two. But it fucking BANGS. Charles can write some KILLER songs. Easily one of my favorite living songwriters. (I've gone on about him on here before, I know.)

Fun fact, did you know he has custom guitars made with just the top 4 strings because that's all he uses to write? These are the kinds of useless musical things I know that I usually only bore my wife with, but lucky you, you're reading it now. 😂
