POO -- The Fall

Oh it's great, but the defining version is the Peel Session vers - less kazoo, more organ.

My Pick : 'Stepping Out'

DKTR FAUSTUS

where did the official site go?

wot's a computar?
wot's a computer??

marquis cha-cha

any other day it would be New Face in Hell, but screw it..."Rowche Rumble."
IT'S ABOUT VALIUM!!! WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND??!

Fuck yeah.

"How I Wrote 'Elastic Man'", certainly.

that's in reference to me being totally hammered at some new year's eve party with complete strangers, trying to explain The Fall to them

and failing miserably, of course...barely succeeding in walking home to grab my Dragnet CD (where I promptly passed out )

"How I Wrote 'Elastic Man'", certainly.

well done

Still "Wings". 'cassionally "Bill is Dead".

No, still "Cruisers Creek".

The only Fall song I have is their cover of "The Legend of Xanadu" by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich.

It's really good.

I started this thread and now I have all this Fall album.

It's just an impossible task but I'll go with "Paint-work" now even though it omits so many element of the band's greatness.

Various Times

Bend Sinister is the shit cousin

Oh man do i disagree

Toss up between Iceland and New Puritan for me

Couldn't Get Ahead

Still "Wings". 'cassionally "Bill is Dead".

u don't like bend sinister?????

Oh haha nm
I thought you were saying it was the shitty cousin of the other fall albums of that era

I love it and hope it doesn't get the short end of beggars' dwindling remasters program

Banana!

I recall David Bowie (love him, RIP, etc.) dissing Bend Sinister in some interview at the time, and thinking what the fuck.

I DRANK A JAR OF COFFEE AND I TOOK SOME OF THEEEES-A

Today if I could pick only one it'd be Big New Prinz. One of Hanleys finest hours. It'd probably change tomorrow.

Despite rumours of Mark's ill health fuelled by last night’s mental 100 Club gig, The Fall’s new album is excellent. https://t.co/sgFyrysNIH pic.twitter.com/DglvyzGB88

What happened? Anyone know?

New Facts Emerge is on Spotify....digging it...Mark E is super unhinged, this is probably their "heaviest" album ever, "Couples Vs. Jobless Mid 30s" riff is stoner metal

Mark E's smoking ravaged voice almost sounds like auto-tune sometimes

half the time i'm literally just what the fuck kind of music is this supposed to be?

oooh excited

http://includemeout2.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/the-fall-at-100-club.html

Left the stage and sang from the dressing room?!?!

huh....hope he's ok but i guess he probably isn't

that Gutters band mentioned in the blog is pretty good!

sounds very much in character tbh

What happened? Anyone know?

Sounds like a woman called Pam was fronting the group for much of the gig, with Smith out of sight. When I saw them in Manchester recently, in what was an excellent gig, Smith looked like a thousand-year-old witch, with buboes and lank, sparse hair, and though often in full force, would periodically suddenly grimace and sway slightly as if in that sort of full body pain you get with serious operations or illness. Plenty of rumours about ill-health.

It was a remarkable gig though. I was laughing at how lopsided and half-assed the album was earlier (these are not necessarily bad things), but i need to listen again, as that's two people now who have said they really like it. One thing i'd concur with upper missisippi sh@kedown though is that much on the album barely qualifies as songwriting if at all. Again, not necessarily in a bad way.

If he has osteoporosis, and it seems he does, it wouldn't be too easy to get from the stage at the 100 Club to the drssing room, certainly not without people realizing and how you would sing from there, I have no idea, unless it had been set up beforehand.

I pick "In My Area" for its acoustic grooviness --or-- "Oswald Defense Lawyer" for how bemused i become when i play it for my grandma.

Ummmm.... https://www.instagram.com/p/BXER51PjzHH/

"This is actually a flattering photo"

Uh oh. I have a ticket to see The Fall in NYC in September, on the LAST night of the residency. I'm not sure he'll make it.

yikes

yeah wonder if he is on steroids of some sort?

Looks like that.

he looks like he aged 30 years since the last album, bringing him up to an even 150
