Has anyone else noticed how much Mark E has changed going from a pretentious, pompous, serious arsehole like he is here, to the funny, working class old codger that he is now. I love the fall and Mark but hes so much more fun now.
He's just with an interviewer he respects and he has always treated his prospects for a film career more seriously than his music, although he can't escape the fact that he's brilliant as a musician.
There really is no other band like The Fall... from many, many points of view. The truely are (in Mark E Smith's own words) the only band in the world.
Is there anyone who still hasn't heard 'Cheap Space Chant' ?
In YouTube, search for 'Timekode, Mark E Smith'
and listen to the strangest and best MES/Fall
collaboration of them all...

He's still very articulate today but it's mad how much more coherent he is here compared to his modern day voice.

I don't find him pretentious at all in this video, except for the fact he wrote a play.

I think he is taking the piss. Note the slightly bewildered manner of Holland.

Hey Luciani is a great song too....
