I haven't listened to anything but the Fall for the last 4 months, and I listen to a lot of bands. But the Fall really show a lot of other bands up, for how bland they really are.
One major re-shuffle, another slight change after. New line-up solid but needs another guitarist (jim watts!) these 'dudes' were the best i've ever seen although i am only 25. I've missed alot.
yea..I was at the Runcorn Bingo Hall and went up to him and asked him what the fuck were the numbers he was calling out. Fall house he said and walked off..
they say never meet your heroes,I was back stage at the middleton civic,MANCHESTER 06 tour and did,he shook my hand blanked me and walked away,fucking amasing.
The greatest living songsmith. We seranaded him with imaginary violin playing when he came into the Kings Head/Slug and Lettuce pub in Fulham about twenty years ago. He didn't notice, or did he. His missus had gone off with the Kennedy violin chap. Kudos to Mark.
mark smith falls out of davour with me, then he redeems himself to me as a true genius. I love the old agressive boozer persona he's taken on. I have to say i loved the more Beefheart-esque lineup with the LA guys in for Reformation Post TLC. But he's taken up some more members and a previous guitarist, all from 'blighty', and critics are calling THIS album (Imperial Wax Solvent) a 'return to form'. He's always been on form as far as I'm concerned (except maybe a spell in the 1990s perhaps).
I can't stop listening to this tune, I find it incredibly moving. Great quality footage, too. Reformation Post TLC fits in nicely with the rest of the Fall canon, methinks.
I was there. nice show. I'm to the right in front of Elena taking photos. there was tons of media there and I think it may have contributed to the short setness. Intense photograpy going on? I spoke to the drummer after (Orpheo) and he said MES was just not keen. But loved it and the Brooklyn show.
This is just so good to see and to hear - Brilliant.

Can anyone explain why Mark keeps swapping to different microphones here?
PTS74 2 years ago
Could be:
1- the monitor level is better on one vs the other
2- he likes keeping his sound engineer on his toes
3- he's nuts

It could be that one mic has echo, and the other is dry, but I can't tell a difference between the two.
