The Wonderful and Frightening World of Mark E. Smith 6/9

From Wikipedia:
In January 2005, Mark E Smith and The Fall (described as "one of the most enigmatic, idiosyncratic and chaotic garage bands of the last 30 years") were the subject of a BBC 4 TV documentary, The Fall: The Wonderful and Frightening World of Mark E Smith.

What the song called at 01.47

[kogler]

"Hit the north"

[jimbob1969]

They call what Paul Morley does as 'Talking Head' .. which is strange cos all I see is a talking cunt

[oswego22]

paul morley = pseudo intellectual. not intelligent: just waffle that's dressed up as profundity.

[zanzibar79]

So MES & The Fall are about "the attack of pop, the attack of rock." You learn something new every day..

Who is it that's speaking at the very beginning of this clip?

@clivetemple Totally agrree. Morley ( and his sidekick maconie) always make interesting comments. Anyone can slag them off but wihout really saying why. You wouldnt be reading these comments, let alone writing them if you werent interested in opinions about the band.

Mark was right: When Elton John is telling you you're "Rock And Roll" you're doing something wrong

[sharonwithtracey]

@Broomehall Morley again "the fall has to have a elizabeth taylor richard burton element....a weird sexual element....a soap element". They gave too much of the doc to this prat spouting verbal diarorea.

[spurtfather]

Oh Paul Morley, what are we going to do with you?

I'd love some more archival Peel Session videos of the Fall in action.
