Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

They were terrible, but Smith & Co have given me enough pleasure through the decades to forgive that particular travesty. : )
One of my all time fav lines. Visions of MES ironing his pants.
they were amazing -- loved how Mark E. Smith had his back to the audience for most (if not all?) of the show!
perfect if i recall correctly.
Great version again . . .

...he's got a couple of great funny anecdotes...
FANTASTIC show, Brian -- THANK YOU!!!!!!!
JohnPeel, famously (about, in fact, his FavoriteBand): 'TheFall...always different, always the same'...
...so ? : TheFall had a few distinct stylistic phases depending on his current collaborators...
...I was thinking...MES was - as I have sometimes said about SydBarrett - like TheloniusMonk: a Musical view into another kind of NervousSystem - that rarest sort of Artistic Gift we can receive...but Rollins makes the comparison there to Beefheart - which is a less hyperbolic observation - more in the real neighborhood genre-wise
...still - MES claimed to be a bit Psychic...he certainly had a certain relation to Intoxication...
Old downloadable shows at theperfumedgarden.blogspot.nl for anyone interested
Pretentious eh?
...Oh yeah - that's the quote: 'If it's me & your granny on bongos - it's the Fall!'
First gig was while visiting UK summer 86 at the T&C, bought the lyrics book from d luff (?) he got them signed too.
Ahhhh... The NWRA. Up to full volume (sorry kids!)
Face a mess, covered in feathers

And bought a computer -
- Truly a privilege - if a sad one. Thx BT.
"We were consciously parodying The Carpenters and Bananarama.
cracking version of 80s/90s that intro is amazing, what a band....
