You didn't listen to the song did you? "I wanna live in Los Angeles, not the one in South California, they got one in South Patagonia". The song is about his pessimistic view of the future of LA after he was there recording when the tragic earthquake hit in '89...but you're too young to remember that probably. You should have asked to have been in 1971. Your life would be better.

Tell me about it brother. Lately I've been watching 90s stuff on UA-cam, headbangers ball mainly. Man, im so sentimental about 90s, these were the best days of my life - first drugs, chicks and everything else that's unhealthy or dangerous. Fuck i miss those days
"I think I finally figured out my new song, 'Los Angeles', this morning. They got one in South Patagonia, they got another Los Angeles in Mexico, they got so many Los Angeleses. Bangkok has a Los Angeles, I read recently. I imagine there's a lot of places in the world named City Of Angels. I wrote about a futuristic one too: 'They got one in 2525, where it's just like a beehive.' I mean that kind of Los Angeles you might see in a film like Blade Runner." - Frank Black in VOX, Issue 30, March 1993
@@iu7yv6tc He didn't say that he wants to live in Los Angeles, Chile; he said that in one, in south of Patagonia; Frank is not claiming that there is a place called Los Angeles in Patagonia.
I remember this song from the early 90's back when MTV was so good. If you need just a glimpse into the golden era of music between 91-95, this is a just one good example.
I watched a lot of MTV back then and I don't remember seeing this video other than on Beavis & Butthead. Maybe it was shown a few times on 120 Minutes.
Could've been worse. I'd say a good chunk of the views came from those who saw Eric Koston's part in Yeah Right! or played Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (I count myself as part of the latter category). Without either of them, the views for this would've been even lower.
I was blown away when this came out thinking it would start a whole new direction of great music - boy was I disappointed. This song stands out in the 1990's commercial landscape as a true original.
Also disappointed - the music world slept on Frank Black. As soon as I heard this song, I traded some old CDs for this album and braced for the revolution. Still waiting - still thinking about buying a hovercraft.
Frank Black and The Pixies pioneered several musical techniques, and perfected many others. I still remember the first time I heard The Pixies, and I thought ... what is this ... awful shit? But just hearing it for the first time changes something inside you. Its like a metamorphosis ... because when you hear them again, and again ... the music hasn't changed ... its you. You've changed. That harsh, discordant noise takes on a sweet musicality that is [absolutely] unique. Loud-quiet-loud ... that's how I like it. I was too young (and in the wrong country) to see them live in their heyday ... but in 2017, they came back to Australia. The acoustics of their venue in Brisbane were absolutely shithouse, but I couldn't care less. I'll die a happy lad.
Frank Black, artiste majeur dans le rock selon moi, il a apporté une nouvelle dimension au format chanson rock. J'ai eu la chance de le voir en concert dans une petite salle, donc de très près.

Franks in my DNA...was lucky to have caught his first two solo albums on release via John Peel....hes been in my life 30 years, thanks for that Frank xx
120 Minutes on Sunday nights in the early 90's brought me a lot of diverse Alt music along with what I'd hear on old WFNX in Boston and Vermont college stations. Liked Frank Black and Kim Deal with Breeders before I even knew who Pixies were really although I'd heard a few of their hits before hand. Still loving the 90s now in the 2020's. Blessed and grateful.
same here, i grew my younger years in maine/boston....same music, same stations, 120 mins was great sometimes...fnx/unh durham. i was more into the 80s peacepunk, and gutterpunk of the time but pixies/frank black/breeders stood out to me alot, and the whole waxtrax tribe as well. good days for hard edge music and sounds.
Years and years ago saw Frank Black and They Might Be Giants together at a Christmas show put on by a radio station in Memphis. Still one of my favorite memories.
I somehow find a tear rolling down my cheek at 1:54 due to the memories and countless nights we spent on Tony Hawk America’s Wasteland ... this song was always on my playlist and I landed mega tricks whenever it came on .... thank you For this dope track 🤞🏾 still listening in 2019 😌
Eric Koston's part in Yeah Right had this song before American Wasteland. There was so much skating in it, they had to almost double the song. I mean he fucking ripped!
Frank was trolling the grunge scene in real time when this video came out. The whole world was obsessed with Seattle, thinking it was this new sound, while Frank knew him and his contemporaries Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth and The Replacements were being ripped off.
Dude 100%. Even in the 80’s, when the whole world was focused on hair bands, the Pixies were cranking out amazing music that sounded way ahead of its time. River Euphrates is my favorite song written by Frank
Insanely, massively underrated. This perfect song and this masterpiece album got so little love at the time, it was criminal. And somehow, to this day, so much of Frank's genius solo stuff still gets zero love. Yes, he's a hugely under-appreciated artist.
@@andyblue415 I loved the pixies, but I listen to this album much more these days. It's genius from start to finish but was dismissed as sub pixies at the time
Watching 120 Minutes and praying for this to come on, or 'Pepper' or 'Sugar Kane' or 'Popular Creeps' ahhh great days. Plenty of great music today too tho, you just have to look for it.
Frank Zappa's description of the California Punk scene: "Competent, experienced musicians come to LA and pretend they don't know how to play their instruments." This is better than that!
Yes it does. Never thought about it till now!! Well, we all know Radiohead are Pixies / Frank Black fans...so...maybe they ripped it off? who knows...only Radiohead knows….Don´t get me wrong, I´m also a huge Radiohead fan. Maybe this is the reason why Thom Yorke refused Pixies to be their opening gig!!!! ;);) I think Thom Yorke said it would be like Elvis opening for The Beatles.!!!!Love for Radiohead, Pìxies and Frank Black. All of them important in my life. ;)
I was 10 going on 11 when this song came out, and I was obsessed with it and played it nonstop. Then, after a few years, I forgot all about it when I started listening to other music throughout the years. Then, in 2005, I bought Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and played it in my PS2, and as soon as I went to the story mode, this song played in the intro and I was like "Holy shit! I remember this song!" Leave it to video games to bring back the memories.
I love this song!!! Just saying. I was just starting high school and I discovered this and the Pixies, right after discovering The Breeders. Great song! Strong video.
I never knew I needed to see Frank Black with sunglasses cruising in a hovercraft talking about how he wants to live in Los Angeles with a hard G until I saw this video
This video embodies all the qualities of Coast to Coast AM in the late 90s.When I see Frank in the desert with the radio I immediately think of Art Bell.Ufos and the high dessert! The companion piece would be Men in Black,I have a feeling Frank is an old school conspiracy theorist.
Well-spotted and felt! He has written more songs about UFO’s than any other artist I know of. Check out “Motorway to Roswell” by the Pixies, for instance…
I just realized that this is Frank Black's parody of Seattle Grunge. Look at the band and especially the singer in the video. Young, fit, long haired "cool guys" that dpn't look at all like Frank Black. Maybe it was obvious to everyone else, but i find it interesting. Even the song sounds a bit too "grunge" for his usual style.
I finally heard Frank Black after all these decades thanks to UA-cam instead of MTV regulating what I hear. This is a good song and way better than 90% of the shit MTV played.
This Video is absolutely Bonkers and Incredible! The Soundgarden look-a-like cover band at the beginning. Frank with a creeper mustache and probably the happiest I've ever seen Charles, riding a Hovercraft through the dessert. 1993 was like What?
Le meilleur morceau de son album. Une tuerie unique en son genre comme pour ALEC EIFFEL avec les Pixies... des chansons supérieures au reste, des bijoux.
Quality upload of the monster epoch-making opening track from Mr. Blacks dope AF 1st solo outing. Sweet memories of this remarkable video on MTV from back in their pre-sellout days. Thanks, (cleverly-named) host Subbacultcha!
Discovered this song in Tony Hawk´s American Wasteland. Makes me wanna live in Los Angeles, but not the one in Los Angeles.

L.A. FOREVER
Why can't I like this song 100 times?
I miss this era
Good times. Loved the old Pixies and those first two solo albums soooooo much. Still do.
Le meilleur morceau de son album. Une tuerie unique en son genre comme pour ALEC EIFFEL avec les Pixies... des chansons supérieures au reste, des bijoux.
Alec Eiffel is incredible
Oui, c'est vrai.
Erik koston Chomp on this got me here
This filmclip is burnt into my mind since the 90s
Damn Good! Old Hard Rock!
Eric koston s part from Yeah Right!!! Cmon people!
My first musical memory c. 1993 1994. 2 years old.
i have listened to this song for an hour sstraight and have no idea how good it is
I remember hearing this song On 89X Windsor Detroit radio station in high school days. Brings back memories
this clip is so absurd and random I love it
My best song🙏🏻👑🇧🇷🌊💣🥶🤩🚀🙏🏻

Quality upload of the monster epoch-making opening track from Mr. Blacks dope AF 1st solo outing. Sweet memories of this remarkable video on MTV from back in their pre-sellout days. Thanks, (cleverly-named) host Subbacultcha!
Charles Thompson lll is the greatest songwriter of his generation, and perhaps other generations as well.
