RIP Andy Kershaw. Here he is introducing The Fall and Michael Clark’s dance troupe on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1984 - wearing a Marc Riley & The Creepers t-shirt. Brilliant. https://t.co/tFtVEYZaQ3
@fallcontinuum assume you know that that REMEMBERANCE R is a late era fall track from The Remainderer 10" EP, 2013, the first time they had a two-drummer line-up since Wonderful & Frightening, though you wouldn't really know it from REMEMBERANCE R, or from Race With The Devil...
@MittensOff Somewhere in there is the implicit message that the trashing of Savile's reputation for heinous sexual crimes against children and other vulnerable people, possibly including the dead, is political correctness gone mad.
This week on Oh! Brother, we’re delighted to present a live episode with @simonWolstencr1, for a spirited look back at The Fall in 1994. We revisit Middle Class Revolt, Peel sessions, a US tour, shifting line-ups, Brix’s return, Julia Nagle’s arrival, and all the usual chaos. (+)
