F.a.l.l.o.u.t.p.o.d.c.a.s.t.

T'night! Last chance for these lads! Rebellious Jukebox, The Man Whose Head Expanded, Pumpkin Soup and Mashed Potatoes and so many many more tracks that none of us can believe went out...they have one last gasp chance to get back in. It's a heck of a ride as we say goodbye for the umpteenth (and probably last) time to round one..and define once and for all what the worst Fall song is. And ..Patron...

Tonight!.. I can barely believe it..! Yes..it is Damo Suzuki talking on instant composition, Stockhausen's helicopters, Kanye West and how everyone needs a bit of dynamite in their pocket. Strap in, because it's a whirlwind..and AL is more than a little starstruck. We also have a good old listen to The Seeds, Beefheart, James Brown, Oumoure Sangare and of course, Can and TMF! Playlist here And as...

Tonight! Joined by Fall polymath Dannyno, we attempt to get to grips with the Brix book! Repeated trips to Disney Land, interspersed with superstar violinist dalliances, prime time fashion TV, a longer description of Gary Lineker shitting everywhere than one would expect..oh, and a couple of stints in the greatest group the world has ever seen. There are more than a fair share of tough times along...

Last commands!! The final episode of round 1..and what a doozy!!! We have now judged (inaccurately) all 525 songs (appx!) by TMF. It has been a journey filled with regrets in which the only thing that has been learned is that you really must get them all. 2nd Dark Age Vs Prole Art Threat Vs Lie Dream of Casino Soul My Door Is Never vs Mexico Wax Solvent vs Loadstones Arms Control Poseur Vs Riddler...

Here's a playlist of my top tracks from Dan..well worth a listen. And yes.......

Tonight! A departure (radical). We are joined by Mayo Thompson of the Red Krayola, a legend in psyche/art/post-punk rock and all the strains we love. He also just happened to produce Totally Wired, How I Wrote Elastic Man and several other stone cold Fall classics.  Join us as we traverse the great man's journey taking in the 13th Floor Elevators, John Fahey, Rober Rauschenberg, The Raincoats, Rou...

Your Future Our Clutter! Ersatz GB! Re-Mit! Maligned, contested, endured and defended! Is it a late period dip or the start of the last great Fall run? WE WILL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT! Join us. And be prepared for some inexcusable opinions.

Ooh la la! On the event of the 66th year of MES we present... My New House Vs Craigness Couples vs Jobless mid 30s  Vs Happi Song Mark’ll sink us Vs married 2 Kids  I Can Hear the Grass grow vs Taking Off ..and a desperate attempt to suggest that the Doors were a Fall influence.

Again! No! YES! A third (and thankfully) final trip into the bits of the Fall's catalogue that didn't quite make it. We dig into mislaid covers such as Grooving with Mr Bloe, Jack the Ripper, Louie Louie and Drop out Boogie, early "gems" like Race Hatred, Stepping Out, Sten Gun Rock and You Don't Turn Me On.. and the endless bonus tracks from the Reformation 50xCD reissue. Suffice to say, though t...

Tonight, something different. We are accompanied by Dannyno, fount of Fall knowledge, and Rob MacLeod, Integral WIizard (2nd tier) as we attempt to navigate the MES "autobiography" Renegade. Join us as we ramble on through several hours in endless cycles of awe, bafflement and disgust dissecting the book an listening to tracks by the Kinks, Gene Vincent, Kool Keith and Black Sabbath.

Tonight! We dig deep for the second time into the world of the Solo work and Collaborations of Mark Edward Smith. In between knocking out 30 odd LPs with TMF PLC, MES found time for lashings of extra curricular nonsense.  In this second episode of round one of the MES min bracket we put tracks from his two solo LPs "Post Nearly Man" and "Panda Pander Panzer" up against the magic of Von Sudenfed an...
