Have a look at this and get back to me.
NOOOO! Not another Fall thread......
I quite like the sound of the electric razor at the start and the hippo getting out of a lake noises, but the song itself sounds just like the The Fall.
Thats not The Fall.......
It's Queens of The Stone Age with Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins on guest vocals.
Yes!
And who in their right mind wouldn't want to hear that?
And?
You make it sound like a bad thing. I wonder if David Hepworth will be immortalised in song a la Ben Marshall?
A new way of recording! A chain round the neck!
Great video for a great track from a great album. I think most of their knockers on here are just jealous that despite looking like a tramp shouting at pigeons / muttering on the bus / licking cider off a toilet floor...Mark E. Smith is extremely succesful with ver laydeez.
Love the Fall..
Think they've got a new album out. I read a review in Uncut.Quite in depth it were.
The director
is the guy or guys (thirtytwo) who did No Distance Left to Run.
The intro sounds like
the intro to Girl's Aloud's Biology being played through an old radio.
I preferred Sade's version
.
It the Fall-ah
Mr Hepworth got it wrong-ah..i want to hear the sound of rantings in bus stations etc..it is the Fall-ah..on Boundary Park wall-ah..graffiti cider drinking bawl-ah..it is the Fall-ah...Brilliant!!
I actually
think Mark E Smith is Richard Madeley when he's totally trolleyed after a 2 day bender.
Never in the same room etc...
Ho
and furthermore
Hum.
I'd be interested
to know if anyone who is neutral about The Fall sees/hears this and is convinced as to their/his greatness, or in the other direction. I don't mean confirming the zealots of either stripe in their views.
No, I'm not
I have no strong opinion one way or the other. Quite like stuff like Hit The North, The Chiselers. Heard other stuff but didn't really engage me.
As I said: ho, and indeed, hum in this case.
I've heard I think 3 Fall songs before this
One was on a Danny Baker podcast - great song. Really liked it this one too. Direct me to their best album please.
Hardcore fans may disagree
but I think if you're after a starting point the '50,000 Fall Fans Can't be Wrong' compilation is a great place to start.
agreed
That was my starting
That was my starting point.
Top Tip: Start with Disc 2. Ease yourself in gently.
Yup... the easiest way in by far.
Personally, I'd then got for the early stuff - Live At The Witch Trials, Hex Enduction Hour etc.
The Fall and Danny Baker
What better excuse do I need to post this?
According to this, Danny gave...
the Fall and Shalamar to the world.
This is the man I'd want for PM.
Thankee Albert!
what is the tune Dan played, I loved it?
My pleasure
that was Blindness..
I think you heard Blindness
Off of Fall Heads Roll and this wonderful Later appearance.
Is this as glam as Mark E Smith gets?!
Love it. Proper dirty bass and guitar sound. I don't hear much shouting - just mildly drunken slurring. But what's with the Alvin Stardust glove?
Oops!
sorry fedora, I hadn't got round to your clip yet and thankee for that too :D
I had never heard
of your "The Fall Group' until today.
After seeing and hearing this I will most certainly going to WH Smith on my high street and will be buying all their back catalogue. Can anyone recommend a definitive Fall Group CD for me to hear?

Diamonds and dungheaps..
those two words always spring to mind whenever The Fall crop up. That's a diamond.
Albert god loves a trier!
keep up the good work!
I lasted 39 seconds...
which is longer than I can normally bear. Maybe they're growing on me...
Yeah, good man Albert
The new album is a cracker, and for me the last track "Weather Report 2" is the real standout.
"You gave me the best years of my life".
Beautiful.
Are you sure it isn't...
"beers"?
Ooh you little scamp!
Why that Mark E Smith has penned many tender ditties, doncha know.
I'd suggest Spotify for "Edinburgh Man" from the Shift Work album for starters.
After the debate - better give it a go
I don't like it. I listened for the whole four minutes but found it quite excruciating.
Albert...thanks for posting that
I listened to it with an open mind. I'm not sure I'd heard anything else by The Fall prior to this and, sorry to say, I didn't find anything that made me want to go much further with them.
However, I'm glad I gave it a rattle, and glad you put it my way!
Tried...
...Failed. I think it was the off-key stylophone that killed it for me.
wow
That's the most passionate, thrilling, innovative, beautiful, intelligent, catchy and downright erotic piece of music I've ever heard.
Can we stop now?
well I'm off to see em in London tonite
Its only the second time so I'm no hardcore fan. And I only went the first time in 2005 cos it was the last gig at the Hammersmith Palais.
Their sets are stretching to almost an hour at the moment so hopefully time for drinkies afterwards
I expect to spot Stewart Lee and Frank Skinner in a slightly roomy Shepherds Bush Empire
And possibly
Jeremy Vine if he manages a post Election power snooze first.
He'd better not
after his bloody behaviour last nite. Shame that he's a Costello fan too
My favourite Fall songs are
Pontiac Pilate Memo
It's All Lies Now Never Mind
Hectic Plan Begins
Shouter at the Goldust
Freebie Unction Offer
Devizing Devil Flash Fry
They are simultanoeusly uplifting and enervating, questing yet affirmative, manifest yet protean, alert yet somnambulistic, melodic yet discordant.
I commend them to you
SBE comedian spotting
Stewart Lee
Frank Skinner
Peter Serafoniwicz
Graham Linehan (Father Ted\It Crowd writer)
Band really on it, shouty man wandering about fiddling with amps, moving mics about and disappearing offstage for a while. always different, always the same - Its a Fall gig!
Mark E Smith quote from the gig - "The best version of Weather Report I have heard in my entire life"
Y.F.O.C
Over! Over!
Cowboy George
Bury
I've Been Duped
Slippy Floor
Chino
Wolf Kidulte Man
Weather Report
Hot Cake
Funnel Of Love
Reformation
Theme From Sparta FC
"English Chelsea fan
This is your last game
We're not Galatasary
We're Sparta F.C."
Sounds like my grandfather
yelling at the next door neighbours when they play music too loud.
