The group sound reinvigorated as they return to Maida Vale Studio in 2004. We wrap up SIDE B with the final Peel session (#24) from The Mighty Fall.

To wrap up our 100+ episode celebration, we're going on a true side-journey. This time we're not including any connections to Fall members, just Fall tracks... We're talking about Sonic Youth's 1988 Peel Session which is comprised completely of Fall covers. Bonus journey: Pixies cover The Fall. Harley's 'He Pep!'/'You Pep!' cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Side B of the lads turned look-back bores, journey into the past. Although tears (and blood) will be shed, there's nothing to be ashamed of here. Just singular gems, from a singular band.

Let's get back on The Fall track. YK2 has hit but "What's a computer?... I had a sinclair back in 1983"... Who would have thought, a great album leads to a great dissection.

For this month's interrogation, we have the pleasure of sitting down with Simon Rogers. Identified in almost every Fall-related press article as the "classically trained" musician, we get some fun insights from his role as both a musician and a producer in the band. He was also kind enough to provide us with some photos and other Fall items from his archive, which we will be sharing over the next...

We've got the blindness... the lads are heading into this album without listening to it ever before. Should be a fun way to head out of 1990's, and for that case, the 1900's.
