i think he had a good day
that post with shampoo got me thinking a bit about bands i'd worked with. or missed working with.
amongst them was a band called "the fall". (in)famous. i did one album with them "cerebral caustic" when was it, 94 or 95? sold like 1500 or 2000 copies.
it wasn't much of an engaging process to work with the band, but i got to talk to the man, mark e smith once on the phone. he sounded like this, but worse. kept calling me sir. and i was this 26, 27 year old kid. this is probably mes on a really good day.
you know why british tv commentators sound like this? it's probably because of that stc/coles ribbon microphone they use. sounds like biscuits. not cookies, biscuits.
and i guess a lot of us have our own stories on the fall.
viral.
and the stories are all probably all true!
i've never seen them play live. they (well, him, really) came once in the 80's i think.
i know a known local ligger in the scene was wanting to have them play in tokyo.
