The Fall at Calton Studios Edinburgh 2010


Here is a decent recording of The Fall kicking off this year's UK tour at the Calton studios we all know and love. Unfortunately Mark E Smith stormed off in a huff (how out of character) after twenty minutes but it's twenty good minutes and the band sound excellent, I really wish I was in a country where I might have a hope of seeing them. I love the new album. If you all haven't heard 'Our Future, Your Clutter' then go get it straight away, it's a great Fall album, I dig it heavily. If for some strange reason you need convincing further than just blindly accepting my authoritative say so, listen to 'Mexico Wax Solvent'.in the youtube video below, it contains the lines

"It's the winner of Britain's lowest prices
I don't bake rice with screwdrivers
I fry chicken with a trowel"



I'd have been seriously fucked off if I'd gone to see them in Edinburgh and the cunt had pissed of halfway through mind you, although you can't really stay angry, if he wasn't such a walloper he'd never have made all the genius music he's made.I'm just glad he's still at it.

    razor unit, made with the highest British attention to the
    wrong detail, become obsolete units surrounded by hail.

  3. Yeah it's totally prolapse . . .

    I wish I had have gone with you man, mid nineties were a weird time for the fall too, he would have been arguably more fucked up than he his now . .

    I'm with you on 'The Classical', The thing I always think about Hex Enduction Hour is that every indie band out copied the music from it for the next 20 years, but no one came close to equaling the best part, the lyrics. I think pavement actually covered The Classical in a Peel session, but left out half the lyrics. Fuckin pussies.
