Oh shit, that write-up is from John Dwyer from Osees. That is, indeed, righteous.

There will be a CD? There usually aren’t with these kind of things. Or even a paid download.

Yeah, I wouldn’t count on a CD release, though I will happily take one! Stuff like this from Castle Face has lately been fairly exclusive to small vinyl runs. Here’s hoping we get another shot though!

Thanks for posting that — fun to see a couple of old Fall Forum characters in it, and yes, Showbiz's enthusiasm and bafflement are infectious.

Are those guys from the Fall forum? There was a sense of... disdain from one of them.

Gotta say, sounds like they didn't take enough speed, they're a little slow. Quality is great but I think I prefer Fall in a Hole and Part of American Therein. Still cool I guess but not worth 30 bucks for me
― a (waterface), Friday, 29 January 2021 18:48 (three years ago) link
watching that documentary now. Grant Showbiz did just make a factual error though, he said the Fall played on the main stage at Reading festival after sacking their drummer after a fight with MES. They weren't on the main stage, they were in the tent. (I was there but I didn't trust my recollection so I checked)
― CP Radio Gorgeous (Colonel Poo), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:33 (three years ago) link
he did say that though didn't he?...he says second stage.
― John Wesley Glasscock (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 30 January 2021 00:54 (three years ago) link

Really heartbreaking this, Mark E Smith's old house is for sale. Still many possessions there. Oh, Mark. So missed. What can be done? https://t.co/O95SKRMYgG @theJeremyVine @fallnews @VariousTimes @theQuietus pic.twitter.com/6JJQT9R8Jg— Dave Haslam (@Mr_Dave_Haslam) July 1, 2021

I know Haslam is a thoughtful soul but I'm not sure what he is getting at, apart from a few piles of books I don't see much more than general detritus. What can be done? A museum?

A good clean is what can be done.

would go to a tbe Fall museum but think it should be done London dungeon style

I love The Fall, but it’s hardly Francis Bacon’s studio. Not much for acolytes to see where he got that spark.
― Dan Worsley, Thursday, 1 July 2021 09:49 (two years ago) link
Just imagining my Fall museum, it should be an overwhelming audio/visual environment, there should be a mix of experimental theatre actors and severely mentally ill homeless people mingling with the guests, it should be really dark and difficult to navigate, basically if you ever went to Shunt under London Bridge you'll know what I mean.

One time The Fall turned up and, for their rider, took ten cases of beer, six bottles of wine and all the champagne. They cleaned us out. They put it all in their chalet to have a party. I get this call that they’re side of stage, and Mark E Smith is kicking off because there’s no rider. I explained they’d already had it, but they were refusing to play without one. So we took the skeleton key and broke into The Fall’s chalet and took their own booze and brought it to them. After the show, I hear this message on the radio: “It’s the Fall, they’ve been robbed!” Mark used to give me an invoice with a fake VAT number on it, and when I called him on it he pulled out a whisky bottle and tried to hit me over the head with it. Twice he tried to bottle me.
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Thursday, 1 July 2021 20:46 (two years ago) link
Probably equally upset he didn't think of the fake VAT invoice first

Would love to have seen MES on E. Though I have a feeling the immovable object might have resisted the unstoppable force.
― Alba, Monday, 14 March 2022 15:12 (two years ago) link
They've got until Tuesday to raise £4000... so far they've managed £210! Seems like not many people like the Fall after all.
