Is this a thread about dirty words? I have been caught out by those in the past.
Not this time.

I don't know why Rachel but I took it as a challenge to find a Fall song for every occasion.
I can understand why that might not be a universally popular choice :)
Went to a House of All gig yesterday which is made up mainly of ex members of The Fall.
I bumped into these two in the pub before hand, the bass player on my left has always been a real hero of mine and appears on a lot of the tracks I have shared.
One of my go to happy songs
B52s - Roam
I was never going to find a Fall song on this theme :)

Not sure on this one yet.
Track from the most recent record bought.
Panic Shack from Cardiff - just down the road from me.
I have seen them three times live now and they are brilliant live.

What he said.
Mark E Smith of the band wrote the play. It was performed in 1986.
The band also performed in a ballet with Michael Clark which I went to see at Saddlers Wells.
Quite an experience www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzun...
Rosie Jones
The Fall - Hey Luciani
A song about a pope. Made into a play.

They look quite young which is probably why I don't know who it is :)
The Fall - A New Face in Hell
Show me a song with the better use of a kazoo :)

See them this Sunday I should say.
Steve Hanley is my real hero, bass player in The Fall from 1979 (just after this album) until 1998.
Love his sound.
He is in the band with brother Paul, Simon Wolstencroft and original band member Martin Bramah plus very early member Karl Burns.
The album is Live at the Witch trials but it is a track from the album too. The into bit that leads into Futures and Pasts so I get away with it being a song :)
Very excited to see a band containing two of the members of The Fall that played on this 1979 LP plus three others, heroes of mine :)
What about all the people who pretend their name is Keith right after the stuck a deckchair up their nose?
Of course you have :)
Sally Phillips?
Maybe not - bear with

Of which there are very few compared to English :)
On va changer, on va manger de la puree!!!
I am not sure about the last bit, it is not the official lyrics and it is a long time a ago I heard the song and my French is awful.
Lundi, des patates
Mardi, des patates
Mercredi, des patates aussi
Jeudi, des patates
Vendredi, des patates
Samedi, des patates aussi
I was very pleased to come face to face with a hidden piece of London history.
The base of one of the arches of the Roman Basilica. Tucked away in the basement of an establishment at Leadenhall Market. Not open to the public but I persuaded them to let me have a look :)
