The Fall - Flat of Angles

[Scitzowicz]

spider's gonna git that burrafly*

[michaeljohnleigh]

Thanks for all the compliments about my drumming, everyone. Karl Burns was one of the best in the world and there was no way I could get anywhere near his standard. I just had to play to my own limited capabilities and feel the music. I'm not much better now, but if you want a listen to my current band The Blimp, there's a free download of our EP at Salford City Radio's web site. Look for scrfreebies.bandcamp.com/album­/3

[TheGeraldemerald]

The Fall... nothing else matters...

[freudastaire]

Captain Beefheart and The Fall thank you for your organized chaos music and poetry

[Lieu3C4]

1st Line (after guitar riff spirit sound): (One day I saw out of my window) -> "A drag net ford 0g black man", re: Scarecrow901's question.

[borgorusky]

but I know they wouldn't show up

[Lieu3C4]

Never really saw the German Expressionist outline in that cover until now.

[hailtothevictorz]

Absolutely awesome tune and part of a Fall mixtape I'm sending to friends.

[maureeny13]

[markwhat44]

i love this song haven't got a clue what marks singing about though even after twenty six years  am not against a bit of insight though.

[Scarecrow901]

o.k callers - any offers on the 1st line?

'Dragnet for dog black man'?

[fallfanuk]

Dragnet for gun-blast man

The papers had a father

holding up a picture

his son-in-law killed her

[Scarecrow901]

Yeah thanks, read that too but not convinced.

its 'the paper had her father, holding up a picture.'

I need a manchester translator

[fallfanuk]

Manchester translator wont help.

[Scarecrow901]

I believe youre right.

Smith once said they don't do old somgs cause he's forgotten all the words

Thanks for the tune.

[luvinbuzzin]

pretty sure it's "gun blast man", if it really matters

[Lieu3C4]

@Scarecrow901 (One day I saw out of my window) -> "A drag net for 0g black man".

[luvinbuzzin]

@Scarecrow901

gun blast

[djkvonhausen]

YES.

[SPERANZA65]

Fantastic...but i love Room to Live more than any other Fall LP...

[POET444]

brilliant. the whole album is genius

[zenhen]

Easily my favourite Fall song.Gawd I love it!!

[michaeljohnleigh]

It's my favourite, too. I'm a bit biased though, because I played drums on it!!!!!

[boerbeat]

Hello Mike Leigh.

Just read the twitter stuff.

It made me laugh.

All the best from the Netherlands.

[michaeljohnleigh]

The Twitter interview was typical Fall chaos, but enjoyable. All the best to the Netherlands and thanks for being there for us. I'm having a session in a studio with a local band tonight, so I might be back on the scene again soon.

[niallo11]

Mate, you may not regard it this year after all these years, but you certainly added a distinct and valued/different edge to the Fall sound. Love your stuff with this and with Fiery Jack in particular. Never saw you play, more's the pity (my 1st Fall concert was Oct 1980). I gather you're playing again, well done fella. All best.

[michaeljohnleigh]

@niallo11 Thanks for the compliment, mate.

My new band "The Blimp" are over 10 years younger than me and are mad Fall fans, so you'll hear the influence in our music. Let me know if you want a download link and I'll email you one for the free EP.

Check out the blimp on Myspace and search for Theblimpuk. If you go onto myspace and type in mikeleighdrummer you should find me and my email address is in the info section on my page.

God bless all Fall fans everywhere

Mike

[spurtfather]

[ListenToBigFace]

[DJSanders77]

My favourite Fall track, and favourite Fall album. Long live E Smith.
