This seemingly ad hoc approach to decision making the band have does not help though does it? They seem to decide things on an event by event basis, surely at some point someone's gonna go 'D'you know what I don't fancy doing this anymore' and they're gonna end up going out with a whimper rather than the bang they deserve to.
Fran - unwise words. Most Fall members are from Salford - not Manchester. Smith would cut you up a treat if he heard you refer to them as a Manchester band.
The Fall are heading further into 'Granny on bongos territory' in recent days. Mrs. Smith hasn't been showing up at gigs, leaving pop-star hubby Mark to slam his elbows into the keyboards. That said, their RSD release earlier this year was utterly unlike anything they've attempted before and was an excellent record in a slightly horrific way.
