r/thefall

how much bad is it?

Been watching interviews of him on YT.

Fascinating character. Although i never followed The Fall much as i like a good melody, i can see the appeal to him as he almost seems to be capable to see things only through his own viewpoint?

On the one hand I admire him for his anti-establishment anti everything views, and on the other he reminds me of just another narcissistic politician who can fire 60 staff on a whim without needing any connection to people.

For a group named after an Albert Camus book, i cant make out if its brilliant Absurdism or more just absurd?

Just discovered this from 1999. Who is Smith talking to - is it their producer? Also WTF?

I was rereading tropics of cancer the other week. And the way miller blabbers on i thought was mark ever a fan? I know he likes camus the fall which is just a guy blabbering on in a poetic sense. But yeah did he ever comment on Henry miller?

I perchance.

I would love to see the overall packaging, if there's anybody who wouldn't mind sharing some pictures.

I know that Mark E. Smith was a regular amphetamine user in the 1980s and 1990s, and seems to have been an addict and alcoholic in the period leading up to the 1998 NYC meltdown show. But as far as I know, there was no "detox" period after, he seemed to keep thundering along with the same appetites (for drink at least). Did he quit using speed post-1998? Kurious.

Up here in the North there are no wage packet jobs for us

Thank Christ

Im just wondering if anyone else had this thought- with the first song on the album. When MES is saying ridin’ is it suppose to sound like riddim, of course becuase its a raggae sounding song?
