The Fall - Kurious Oranj

[emile235]

this is about the history of Holland right?

[frostipagan]

Quite literally the first song I ever heard on "Alternative Radio" that made me stop listening to top 40.

[rageagainstmonica]

TMWRNJ!

[Chudhole]

Love this CD. Thank you actually cool college radio in the 80's,

[TheKowalski2011]

the first i heard this was in 1997, great times!!

[SquornshellousZeta]

I'm never quite sure if I like The Fall or not...

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

@SquornshellousZeta you should sit yourself down on your toilet and think about it....

[hufclufc]

@SquornshellousZeta what's the matter with you?

[hufclufc]

Have you ever been reading some comments to a song, then seen one done by yourself, and have no recollection of writing it?

[hufclufc]

@hufclufc No, never done that

[Yorkmackem]

Run slipshod over all dumbshit.....

[Cleggy238]

Kurious Oranj Peel?

[xraycortina]

"Always different, always the same."

So said John Peel (r.i.p.)

[ZLUGGO]

Curiousity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back (Iggy Pop)

[orchidtender]

what the bloody hell is MES talking about? Ever? I have a love/hate relationship with The Fall. they are somehow absolute crap and brilliant at the same time.

[vkman34]

@orchidtender The whole album is about William of Orange and his wife Queen Mary. The title is a reference to the Swedish avant-garde films I am Curious Blue and I am Curious Yellow.

[orchidtender]

@vkman34 yeah, yeah, I know. But referencing things and making coherent statements with those references are two completely different animals. One is like an ordinary duck, and the other is like a badger with an extra leg.

[hufclufc]

Wtf? ... somteimes I bbbbbb think this is their magnum opus..... sorry, fokin' kickin' innit?

[manofweed1]

Brilliant, almost on a par with early PIL............almost !!

[mattstower]

LCD Soundsystem -- You owe Mark E Smith!!!

[msturdivant13]

I see what he meant about the three R's: repetition, repetition, repetition(!)

[Lieu3C4]

So there was a Nazi style moidor groop listning in the British Parlimentary Howsays, hid deep wittin a Jewish murder group systemolgy, a Jewish mudor gripe eefen. And they did good things, arranged so for. Will winders never cease. Another Fall album I must watch out for, if ownlee2gethe comepleat loadownon thwoleting.

[CaptainKubla]

Doesn't give a fuck, proper punk (and he fucking is, likes labels or not) and Long live the Mark E Smith band ( 'The Fall' was never a band, being a myth being perpetuated for Millennia, just masochists and interlopers ......Nay, Garden of Eden, Spiked Toffee Apple you faakin slaag.

'

I hate the fucking Fall. Yet I love them all the same. So fucking shit, they're good. My kind of band.

Bah-ba-ba-bah-Bah bah bah!

[mileshedgehog]

I named my cat Kurious Oranj. When people ask why I send them this link :)

[karmajod]

Hey, I was the 8000th veiw!!! Also, I would like to take this oppurtunity to appologize for sticking a bit of chewing gum on mark e smith's shoe at a gig at the London School of Economics in 1979! Sorry mate.

[DanielDerbaer]

@karmajod: whaT a funny way of letting everybody know that you were THERE when it all started! oh, btw: school of economics? holy shit! how uncool. makes me look at hex enduction hour in a totally new way.

[JoyDivisionSouth]

7,933 cant be wrong errr

[malcolmcog]

Just to the left of Swinton on the wilds of Little Hulton some say that Bez infests the countryside

[Krantzstone]

Where's the video? I remember seeing on Much Music a video where Mark E. Smith is on the back of a convertible or a bus or something that was driving through the streets of ?London? while he was singing this song. The first time I ever heard or saw the Fall. Anyone else remember this video?

[SMThomasson]

@Krantzstone 'Twas the video for Free Range, surely? Driving around Edinburgh?

[Krantzstone]

Yeah, I think you're right. I just looked at the video for 'Free Range' and it looks like the video I was thinking of. It was so long ago that my mind must have confused the two. Thanks, though, it was bugging me that I couldn't find that video! What album is 'Free Range' on, or is it just a 12"? I'm still missing a lot of Fall albums - hard to find and so many of them.

[SMThomasson]

@Krantzstone It's on the album Code: Selfish, a great album but then, they're all so brilliant...

[rpaxon]

For a pretty low-rated album by critics, it manages to have a few of my favorite Fall songs. The album's got a good sound to it even if much of the material isn't as solid as it's high points.

[Steve7508]

I love Kurious Oranj.

[artstuX]

Why the fuck is that marked as spam????

[bartpierson]

funny i don't remember this being 6 minutes

[alejandro15187]

it is CURIOUS, but I don't either. ha...

[hufclufc]

@bartpierson Coz you probs heard the Peel sesh - only 5.59

[Zethiwag]

I read in a magazine that this would go well with a game called FEAR 2, google that and see why it wouldn't suit this song.

[CloudStrifeOfficial]

what year is this from?

[fallfanuk]

1988

[gnowave]

yeh 88 seems about nright, i remember living in edinburgh at that time, and getting tripped stoned at mates house round the corner from the kings theatre while this was being performed! was so loud we just hung out the window! cool as! what a night

[zoafml]
