Frank Black: Los Angeles

Track of the Week - 27 October 2019

When the tweet advertising this post is sent at around 7pm I'll be at Wembley watching an NFL game.

I've been an American Football fan since back in the mid-eighties but had never been to a game before so thanks to old work family member Aaron for sorting me a ticket. As I'll be watching last year's Super Bowl runners-up Los Angeles Rams play the winless this season Cincinnati Bengals I'm expecting a comfortable LA victory.

And I can choose a Los Angeles song. Los Angeles by Frank Black. The Pixies frontman released his first solo album in 1993 and this was one of the singles from it.

It's a "sci-fi... futuristic Los Angeles" that's in the song and the video for it has Black driving a hovercraft around looking cool. What more do you people want?
