In Clash magazine issue 9 there was an interview with Frank Black on his latest album, but he said this of Morrissey:
Kim Taylor Bennett: You always said you would do a collaboration with Morrissey in a second. Have you ever met him?
Frnk Black:Yeah, I had tea with him. But that'll never happen. I don't think it would be his cup of tea. I said something in some old interview that I didn't like his first solo record. I was just young, talking shit. Apparently he reads all his press and saw that and he wasn't going to work with me. That's what I heard anyway. That's why we were having tea, because this other dude was trying to get us together to write some songs. But I think Morrissey was like "That's the guy who said that thing". I mean he didn't say that to me, he was a perfect gentleman. He had his reasons. I can't blame him. I feel bad. I don't know why I said anything; I don't know what I was talking about! I was probably stoned when I said it.

the thought of seeing frank black and moz share a cup of tea is ALMOST as great as the thought of seeing mark e smith and moz - which is another collaboration that DEFINIETLY wouldn't work, but is very pleasant to think about.

He seems nice though, i'd lend him a couple of CDs so he could listen in sobriety & realise just how wrong he was.

I also have difficulty imagining Frank poised with a fine china cup of lapsang souchong- I guess Morrissey was in charge of refreshments

That said... I am not sure this would have been the match needed. I think Morrissey would be a better creative match with Siouxsie again (or Nick Cave, Sparks, Stevie Nicks or particularly Carolyn Crawley from Shellyann Orphan fame). Carolyn and Morrisseys voices would blend so well. I can hear how good it would sound. She has the same pasionate expression patterns as Moz but a very light and airy yet strong vocal sound that Morrissey could really smooth into.

The Siouxsie Sioux duet with Morrissey is horrible.
Frank Black is cool, I guess we will never know what could have been.
