  • First of all,what video,secondly,one of my favorite songs by this ever so enduring iconocalistic band,this man is such a profoundly kept secret for likes of all of us ardent Fall fans in today's world of formulated music,it is interesting how famous Mark has over time become,perhaps because of his unrelenting work ethic and the internet/Mini Davis/Winnipeg.

  • Fuck it, let the beard grow.

  • How DID he write Elastic Man?

    And he still hasn't told us.. the secret goes to his grave?

  • .. thanks for uploading ( .. my vinyl is sadly dead :)) GREAT BAND .. GREAT LYRICS ( .. and still giggin´  !!! )

  • yes i here it on peel too for 30y ago. i was 19 or 20 y old it was my first peel session and i was very stond

  • When is "The Fall" going to visit Northern California?

  • "TC - What's 'How I wrote Elastic Man' about?

    MS - Writers, which is why Dave McCullough didn't like it. It's about a guy who wrote a book called 'Elastic Man' and everybody gets on his back about it, he's a celebrity and it fucks up his art."

  • Mark E. Smith, Received your letter the other day. Thanks, Elastic Man

  • Why does this sound like The Cramps " Under the Wires" ? I guess genius runs in the family...maybe I'm just hearing things....again. :-o

  • @djw1964jdiv with you all the way, peel was the daddy, playing stuff the establishment cowered from, he is a god !!!! just found all this fall stuff, i can die happy (once i have listened to it all of course)
