The Fall

I'm incredibly sad that I will never be able to see them perform live. 😔

Mental music

I have dreams I can see...

I feel obliged to explain my last entry concerning Marcel Duchamp and The Fall. What I meant was to call atention to the dadaist tendencies of the band. With all its acid, witty lyrics that may seem to be nothing but gibberish to some and highly erratic and idiosyncratic musical achievements, The Fall seem to incorporate and disseminate Dada into the spectrum of music as a whole. Just as Duchamp did with Art in the beginning of the XX, which was, acts of total destruction towards art as it was then conceived, The Fall manages to do the same: it takes musical elements and dissect it, poke at it, take it out of context, and all and all, destroy it. The goal of The Fall was to kill music as per se, and in the process, they made one of the most unique, bizarre, wretched, engaging, putrid and dada music and art. Innovation through destruction. Don't believe me? Look at their album covers! They're making fun of the music industry, themselves, me and you too!

is MES the most based musician to ever exist?

Hey how’s it goin

Marcel Duchamp's favourite band!

Evil Mark E Smith be like: The Rise

We need a Mark E. take on this crazy world. Gone too soon...

Brix is one of the few good things about life

The Падение

Favourite Fall album is Middle Class Revolt. Not sure many will agree with that. What's your favourite?

God's own band.

i think the funniest word to imagine mark e smith saying is "poggers"

Behind you! BEHIND YOU!

HOT! AFTERSHAVE! BOP!

Where do I start listening? Any particular recommendations, or should I just dive in randomly?

See ya mate, yeah see ya mate

Лучшие-а!

HEY THERE FUCKFACE. HEY THERE FUCKFACE.

THE BOY IS LIKE A TAPE LOOP THE BOY IS LIKE UH-UHHH

Hadn't listened to them for way too long. Now I am whole again.

Why would you be afraid of a loud noise at 3 o’clock in the afternoon?

Came back to these guys after a long time of not hearing them. They still fuck hard.

"Bend Sinister" is extremely underrated [2]

Годами могу про них вообще не вспоминать, а потом стоит поставить какой-нибудь из альбомов и понимаешь, что не хочешь и уже не можешь слушать ничего другое. Великая группа, чего говорить.

hit the north!

Марк Эдвард Смит - человек бренд. До последних дней боролся с недугом и даже выступал в инвалидной коляске. И кстати говоря держал планку ведь годные вещи были даже на последнем альбоме.

finally, the fall

We still miss you Mark.

Wireless enthusiast intercepts government secret radio band and uncovers secrets and scandals of deceitful type proportions.

Один из самых недооцененных музыкальных коллективов за всю историю.

Дискография у них не менее объемная, чем у тех же The Residents и Psychic TV вместе взятых.

The Rise

always different, always the same... the fall!

I can't believe now that I used to believe that The Fall was only good in the 80s. Their 90s and 2000s stuff is just as crazy as their earlier works. Especially 96 and forwards are amazing!

RIP MES <3
