Old news at this point I guess, but just learned that the rest of the group will be continuing under the name Imperial Wax.

The Levitate reissue (my favourite Fall album!) has a killer second disc. Christmastide and a completely altered live Ol' Gang are revelatory

when did that come out?

like two weeks ago? the extra tracks are all from either the bonus disc from 1st pressings or the B-sides of the three "Masquerade" singles.
― sleeve, Wednesday, 27 June 2018 15:53 (five years ago) link
the bonus disc was always a favourite with the best version of pilsner trail/plaster on the hands and some v good remixes and minor tracks. masquerade remixes are lasrgely yawn.

Bend Sinister reissue is sounding magnificent, scrubbed of considerable murk

good to know, thanks. I kind of wish they'd stop tacking Peel Sessions on to these reissues but w/e

no Peel tracks on the 2-LP set...second LP is singles and b-sides and they really sound great
― d'ILM for Murder (Hadrian VIII), Wednesday, 10 April 2019 16:33 (five years ago) link
the whole package is well done...includes a repro program for the "Hey! Luciani" play

god there used to be so much contention about Bend:Sinister production on the fall message boards. one nine eleven truther troll in particular managing to generate division about whether it was recorded a microsecond too fast or not. need to look into this reissue more carefully. listening to it at the moment but not really getting the full vibes streaming from spotify via a hotel bluetooth speaker.

good. but i think they missed a trick - the Fall equivalent of that one scene in the trailer with ed sheeran suggesting he rename it "Hey Dude".

"Sparta F.C"
― sleeve, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 16:02 (four years ago) link
it's cool that they recognize that Sparta and Blindness were two later additions to the Fall's greatest "hits"

How have I never seen this before?! He's so nice here. This is gold.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 18:57 (four years ago) link
What he became or what he always was has near killed his work for me. I don't really want to listen to The Fall any more and they used to be a sizeable chunk of my world.

Amstell.
no, he would've been 9 at the time. the voice is very similar though.

lol just catching up with more recent posts. yesterday 2 v good. and yes, he could be v charming. know absolutely what NV means about late Smith. there was a cult of personality which was boosted by media and fans, and which in his largely repetitive and often tedious interviews (that late biographical book he did a good example) he didn’t do much to put any distance from. but i think the late music is often v good, both live and on record (tho oddly often the bad records were good live and vice versa, and by god there were some mediocre gigs - i stopped going for a while). and occasionally the charm would come through again, in his christmas messages to fans, things which he’d written himself.

I know, so weird seeing ppl like Lydon on that show trying their best not to be hateful about Nick Kamen or Glass Tiger.
― Maresn3st, Thursday, 12 March 2020 12:16 (four years ago) link
of course, there was one other Kinks cover in 1988 that unfortunately seems to have failed to have made that show
(watching MES respond to Is This The Life would have been sweet haha)
