The Fall

[Sir HC]

Loved the show.  Sounded great, he was on form, not too prissy.  Fun watching Mark play with the guitar and bass amp volumes.  So the keyboardist is his new wife I hear.  Goth gal with Mark E.

As Bede pointed out last night, she looked like she hated him.  She was giving him looks of disdain the whole night.

You're a dope, Slappy. Since when does an opinion that differs from yours on something as subjective as music make my opinion unintelligent?
 
 In my mind:
 
 Legend: the Clash Not Legend: The Fall
 Legend: Lynrd Skynrd Not Legend: Molly Hatchett
 Legend: The Beatles Not Legend: Oasis
 Legend: The Smiths Not Legend: the Housemartins
 Legend: Hank Williams Not Legend: George Strait
 
 Christ, not every good band can be called a legend. Get over it.

I can't stand it when people make unintelligent comments. For god's sake, put away the Garth Brooks cd.
 
 All Music Guide: "With his snarling, nearly incomprehensible vocals and consuming bitter cynicism, Smith became a cult legend in indie and alternative rock."
 
 Recent NME review of one of their (his) albums "proving once again Mark E Smith is a national treasure".
 
 "Still the band which others must be judged" -John Peel on the Fall.
 
 But I don't need quotes to realize Mark E Smith is a legend. Any musician that can stick around for three decades without compromising their music integrity is a legend in my book.
 
 He was a brilliant mess again tonight. [/b]

Thought she had the look of "What have I gotten myself into".

All married people have that look now and then. Some just do a better job than others of hiding it from the general public.

I thought they were little looks of love.....
 
 I know that they are little looks of love when my wife looks at me like that.
 
 At the bar after the show the barman was saying how they had to revive Mark E with smelling salts as he was fuckfaced and that is why they came on stage so late.
 
 I thought they sounded great though.
 
 Did anyone recognise a single song?

From what your saying Mark E. didn't.

[Sir HC]

Several songs I recognized.  Didn't hit some of my fav's but did do New Big Prinz (last before the encore).  Band had a great lock-step groove going.  
 
 Openers were good too.  Anyone recognize the drummer from bartending at the 9:30?

No he performed flawlessly. His actions on stage were alittle erratic and odd. But he did sound really good. then isnt that what you say about your drunk mate shane, of the black teath?

Ahh new big Prinz that one did sound a little familiar, now I know why.
 
 I was surprised that they didnt play any of their bigger selling singles....
 
 no, hit the north or Victoria, or kurious Oranj or Frenz.
 
 Come to think of it I wasnt surprised or dissappointed, I knew they wouldnt. I would have loved to have heard them though.

It's obviously been a while since you last saw Shane, (God bless him) He has no teeth these days.
 
 I wish he were my mate, I'd love to go out on the piss with him.

You do realize that "mate" has different connotations in the U.S.?

[mankie]

Hey scientist markie wk....I just realized, I was thinking of The Farm, not The Fall. I was wondering why you were getting all erect and lubricated over the frigging Farm!
 
 A couple too many rugby games will play havoc with a mans memory....oh, and the old age thing doesn't help either!

and "buddy" has different connotations in UK!
 
 We truly are two nations divided by a common language aren't we?
