Fall

A wealth of Fall tidbits, courtesy of WFMU's Beware of the Blog.

The Fall vs. Jools Holland: The "Heads Roll" Fall lineup on Later with Jools Holland, ripping through "versions" of Pacifying Joint, I Can Hear The Grass Grow (cover of the Move tune), and Blindness (right-click and Save-As to download REALMOVIE file) (WFMU link here). "Under giant hulking letters spelling out 'Fall', Smith warbles, barks, tampers with his wife's keyboard, and is, in other words, great". Check out the end of the clip - he really can't leave that Korg alone!

And here's Mark E Smith participating with someone out of The Undertones in a TV panel eulogy for John Peel (right-click and Save-As to download REALMOVIE file). And if that wasn't fun enough, here's him reading the football results on a TV sports show (right-click and Save-As to download REALMOVIE file) and taking the piss out of one of the presenters' haircut. (WFMU link here).

BTW, in case you were wondering, Fall Heads Roll is a fantastic record.
