Three versions of Blindness, the mad sod.
Bumpity bump – >
Are any of them as good as the Peel Session version though?
Woof!
Twelve hours of the Fall, but no room for “Bill is Dead”?
That’s disappointing…
Peter’s saving it for the encore..
He’s doing an encore? Great – well, he can throw in “Fortress/Deer Park” as well!
Oh isn’t Bill Is Dead just truly fabulous? A rare moment of reflective, almost tender (post-coital?) oversharing from MES. The band are superb on this too.
I don’t dislike The Fall, but not sure even Mark E Smith could manage a 12 hr playlist
An hour of The Fall can be an enjoyable experience, but 12 hours of them?
That way madness lies.
Mark E. Smith would probably write a song about it. And then sack the band for playing it wrong.
