for scanning in the relevant page.
Jon also sent in a jpg of the painting mentioned in this piece: Glenn
Brown's Portrait of Mark E. Smith as

afraid.

NME, 7 December,
2002 (p. 35):
THE FALL
The Fall Vs 2003 (Action)
Mark E Smith - for
those who don't know, he's sort of a cross between Victor Meldrew, Scrooge,
the kid out of Kes and The Hobbit - licks no spittle and (unlike almost
every other motherlover on the Manc 'scene') he has not one single dirty,
rotten ,stinking, filthy , fucking hippy bone in his entire curiously
tortoise-like body. The best thing here is 'Susan Vs Youthclub', which
sounds like a track that was left off the last but one Primal Scream
album because it was just too damn good. Proving once again that Mark
E Smith is a national treasure - a living punk rock fossil. A bit like
a crocodile. Only nastier. And without quite so many teeth.

Also out now are 24-bit
remasters of Witch Trials (guaranteed 100% skip-free!), Dragnet,
and Hex Enduction Hour.
"Live at
the Witch Trials +" (COGVP138CD) includes the bonus tracks
Bingo Master's Break-out, Psycho Mafia, and Repetition.
"Dragnet
+" (COGVP140CD) includes the bonus tracks Rowche Rumble, In
My Area, Fiery Jack, 2nd Dark Age, and Psykick Dancehall No.2.
"Hex Enduction
Hour" (COGVP141CD) includes the bonus tracks Look, Know and I'm
Into C.B.
Each of the above
five and the forthcoming three Voiceprint remasters (Room to Live, In
a Hole, and Extricate) includes a coupon for you to collect and send in
for a "free CD." All we know about this mystery CD is that it
will be compiled by Mark and that he hasn't done it yet. You need to send
in seven of these eight coupons to get it (Voiceprint is waiving the Early
Singles coupon, since if you buy the rest you're getting most of the Early
Singles as bonus tracks anyway). Obviously no one in their right mind
is going to buy all these rereleases when they already have perfectly
good copies of Dragnet, Hex, RTL, and Extricate, so perhaps Voiceprint
will rethink this most generous offer.

John
Henderson:
Haven't seen any
notice on the Fall page about these two Blue Orchids releases,
due in less than two weeks. NB: "Underground Breakfast" is apparently
an instrumental version of the Fall's "Underground Medicine", and I
am told that the C81 cassette demo version of "Low Profile" is to be
included as well in all the fun. Yeah!
THE SLEEPER (LTMCD
2340)
Recorded in London over several months in 1993, The Sleeper confirms
Martin Bramah as a major (yet sorely underrated) talent. In addition
to surging pop numbers such as Lover of Nothing, Diamond Age, Dream
Boat and Butterfly Effect, the set also encompasses the soft (Blue Grey
Boy), the sinister (Weird World) and the intimate ballad Out of Sight,
one of Martin's best-realised arrangements to date. In addition to the
entire lost album, this CD includes tracks from the Sleepy Town, Diamond
Age and Secret City singles. The digitally mastered set runs for a full
70 minutes, and the booklet includes extensive sleevenotes. Tracklist:
Weird World, Dream Boat, Lover of Nothing, Blue Grey Boy, Diamond Age,
Butterfly Effect, NY Gargoyles, The Gun is a Coward's Weapon, Dark Matter
Kid, Out of Sight, Love Fiend, NY Gargotles (Secret City Mix), NY Gargoyles
(Subway Mix), Moth, Sleepy Town, Thirst, Diamond Age (12"), Sleepy Town
(12").
FROM SEVERE TO SERENE
(LTMCD 2354)
In addition to all seven tracks recorded for their legendary John Peel
sessions in 1980 and 1982, this CD includes the rare Riding the Times
ep recorded in 1987 as Thirst with ex-Fall drummer Karl Burns, plus
several live tracks recorded in Manchester in 1981. This digitally remastered
set runs for 71 minutes, and the booklet includes detailed sleevenotes.
Tracklist: Work, The House That Faded Out, Low Profile, Sun Connection,
Bad Education, A Year With No Head, No Looking Back, Crystal Kiss, The
Unknown, Let Go, Riding the Times, Tighten My Belt (live), The Flood
(live), Sun Connection (live), Hanging Man (live), Disney Boys (live),
Work (live), Underground Breakfast (live).

The Observer last
Sunday (December 1) had a list of celebrities' books of the year, including
this entry:
Stewart Lee:
Camden Joy and
Colin Morton collaborated on Pan (Highwater) by transatlantic e-mails.
The novel sees various fans of the Manchester band The Fall make
their way to the group's notoriously poor 1998 New York show,
bringing with them hopes, regrets, emotional baggage and the severed
head of a Welsh pagan god. Kate Braverman's The Incantation of
Frida K (Seven Stories) posits the last days of Frida Kahlo as
a hallucinatory dream, and John Seabrook's Nobrow (Vintage) analyses
the impact of marketing on the arts from a uniquely personal perspective
that touches on all aspects of modern life.

Chris Goodhead:
Dear Fall people,
Here's a little
something; a Fall ringtone for your Nokia mobile phones if you have
them. Since those companies that advertise in the back of magazines
are NEVER going to have your favourite Fall tune to download, follow
these instructions and Spoilt Victorian Child will play whenever your
phone rings. It's free too! Because you have to do all the work yourself.
I've got a Nokia
3410 but I reckon it'll probably be the same for all Nokia mobiles.
1. Select Menu.
Then Extras. Then Composer. Pick an (empty) slot.
2. You're probably best off reading the instructions on how to use the
actual thing because it's quite confusing.
3. And this is what you want to program in...
4f2 / 8#a1 / 4#a1
/ 8#a1 / 4c2 / 8c2 / 4#d2 / 4f2 / 8- / 4f2 / 8- / 8f2 / 4f2 / 8#a1 /
4#a1 / 8#a1 / 4c2 / 8c2 / 4f2 / 4e2 / 8- / 4e2 / 8- / 8e2 / 4f2 / 8#a1
/ 4#a1 / 8#a1 / 4c2 / 8c2 / 4#d2 / 4f2 / 8- / 4#a2 / 8- / 8#a2 / 4#a2
/ 8- / 4g2 / 8- / 2g2 / 16- / 16- / 32- / 4g2 / 8- / 2g2
NB the / symbol
is just for the purpose of this post to show a space between each 'note'.
4. Set TEMPO to
225BPM.
Simple, eh? Just
to give you some pointers:
To get, for example
8#a1
Press 6 (4a1 appears)
Press ^# (4#a1 appears)
Press 8 (8#a1 appears)
Move onto next note.
To get 32-
Press 0 (2- appears)
Press 8 four times (goes 4- / 8- / 16- / 32-)
Move onto next note.
It's not EASY but
I'm sure if you can work the internet, you stand a good chance of some
success. Good luck.
Simon's sad confession:
my nokia plays the
following:
bremen natch
tempo 90bpm
16c1 16- 16g1
16- 16c1 16-
16f1 16- 16c1
16- 16#d1 16c1
16- 16.c1 16-
32- 16.c1 32-
32g1 32- 16g1
16.c1 32- 32f1
32- 16f1 16.c1
32- 16#d1 16c1
16- 16c1
sorry about all
the rests but it doesnt sound right without them
Chris' even sadder
confession:
I've, er, modified
your bremen nacht ringtone Simon.
16c1 16- 16g1
16- 16c1 16-
16f1 16- 16c1
16- 16#d1 16c1
16- 16c1 8-
16c1 16- 16g1
16g1 16c1 16c1
16f1 16f1 16c1
16c1 16#d1 16c1
16- 16c1
Sound better? Excuse
me, I think I hear my life calling... C. Goodhead

Special Late Nite: THE FALL 11:15 nightly
A rare collection
of entrancing work based in and supported by the music of Mark E. Smith
and The Fall.
The Fine Arts Theater
2451 Shattuck
Avenue (at Haste)
Berkeley
phone 510-848-1143
Eliot:
Mark and I went
to the screening last night, with his wife and my gf obligingly in tow.
Evidently, what was *supposed* to happen is that Pascal Le Gras was
going to send them a video he's created of material from 1992-2000,
with audio. Top notch, right? Wrong.
We go to the pub,
drink pints, "take a walk," and then arrive at the Fine Arts Theater.
The guy at the door tells us that they're showing Perverted By Language,
the *only* Fall video that I own and have seen countless times, since
Le Gras never sent the tape. WTF. Something about an assistant who does
not speak English. I was tempted to ask if the assistant understood
"send the fucking package." It was a bit of a disappointment, as we'd
made a rare sojourn across the Bay Bridge to Berkeley late at night,
to watch something I could have seen at home.
I remarked that
it only makes sense for even video representations of the Fall to cancel
on Americans...the band won't play for us anymore, so why should the
fucking video bother either. What I really don't understand is that
this was the fifth day this had been going on, and they didn't have
the fucking courtesy to change the one sentence on the website to say
"now showing Perverted by Language instead." What is the Internet for,
if not that?
Anyway, I suppose
it was marginally worth it...we had a good time, and it was nice to
see the thing on the big screen with full audio and all that. These
two girls in the back laughed uncontrollably at Mark during the interview,
I think in a good way.
Keith and Eric
(of the Fine Arts Cinema):
Gentle readers,
The Pascal Le Gras
tape arrived today. Conway, through Julia Nagle, put us in touch with
Pascal's secretary, Isabelle, last September. We have been in sporadic
contact since and she has been very enthusiastic about the project.
A number of circumstances contributed to the delay, however, mainly
video transfer problems and numerous strikes in France producing serious
postal delays.
Le Gras' collection
here is similar to the NYC show, including pieces with music not only
from The Fall but from John Cale, John Cage, Tom Waits and Fred Frith.
The Fall pieces are "Shift-Work" (1991), "Code: Selfish" (1992), "Middle
Class Revolt" (1994), "The Light User Syndrome" (1996), "Levitate" (1997),
"Masquerade" (1998) and "Two Librans" (2000). We look forward to showing
this and after we screen the material, full information on Pascal and
complete program details will be posted on this site and our own.
We apologize for
not updating our site, please be aware that our cinema is run by an
army of few. Thanks to The Fall fans that did show up, we hope to see
you at future shows.

ONE NIGHT ONLY!
SUNDAY DECEMBER 22ND 10:30 PM
AT FINE ARTS CINEMA IN BERKELEY
--VIDEOS OF PASCAL
LE GRAS--featuring
music by The Fall, Fred Frith, Tom Waits, others
Pascal Le Gras is
a French painter and video artist. His work is closely tied to music,
his driving force, and is influenced by The Velvet Underground, John
Cage, William S. Burroughs, Jonas Mekas and Nam June Paik. He paints,
designs album covers, and creates music videos for and with such musicians
and bands like The Jazz Butcher, Bruce Joyner, The Fall, and Mark E.
Smith solo. His next project is with Jad Fair of Half Japanese. This
retrospective documents the evolution of his videos from the first work
by a friend filming one of Pascal's paintings to his most recent videos
in which he uses a computer program allowing sounds to act upon images.
His last screening was at the Marseille Poetry Center in France with
the poet Michel Bulteau, and was previously exhibited at Anthology Film
Archive in NYC in September 2000.
THE VIDEOS BEING
SCREENED:
1984 "My Ever Changing Moods" (directed by Philippe Boudet)

Crazy Toots:
The infamous Pascal
Le Gras video thing was shown at the Fine Arts Cinema in Berkeley, CA
last night. A total of six people were in the audience, including me
and my sleepy wife. Eliot VB was not in attendance - no doubt he was
either relaxing at his cattle ranch, hiring seasonal workers for his
avocado orchards in Chile, or buying xmas trinkets for his four wives.
Seemed to be a cross-section
of work from the last 10 years or so. It started with mostly symbols
repeated over and over, magnified, multiplied, flashing on the screen.
The first half was nearly all computer-generated images like this. Basically
the same symbols - such as the cover of Code-Selfish and Infotainment
- shown at different angles and in different color schemes and spinning
at different speeds. The first fall related stuff included the aformentioned
crazy flashing symbols over Immortality, Everything Hurtz, City Dweller.
The Light User Syndrome (v1) was a live action filming of about 40 cut
out MES figures in a diorama with other cut out b+w figures. Flashing
lights and zooming in and out created movement in the figures. He Pep
provided the backing. LUS (v2) was simply screeches sampled from the
very beginning of Cheetham and Last Exit over 20 minutes of star symbols
and the same cut-out figures. Very repetitive. We had been warned by
the curator (theatre employee) before the show that this was a good
time for a smoke break.
Masquerade and Two
Librans were almost "proper" videos. This later material was more sophisticated,
partly due no doubt to easier technology to work with than earlier work
and a more layered approach to the screen. Less focus on a single symbol,
with much more animation and movement. Some of it reminded me of Rauschenberg,
but on speed. Also, Pascal seems a bit obsessed with MES - maybe has
a little crush on him? How cute!
Worth seeing for
the curiosity factor and that I don't see too many 90 minute video art
projects. Wife slept through the whole thing...

Stephen, posted

Graham Lamour:
In response to several
messages from a few weeks ago, I decided to try and compile all of the
known Fall chart positions together. If anyone knows of any others (or
any foreign ones. Did Lie Dream... really do so well in NZ?) then shout
them out.
For space reasons,
I've excluded all of the non charting stuff. Unless stated, all positions
are for the UK Record Retailer chart.

John Peel has compiled/produced?
an album of remixes of some of his favourite songs. Included on the

Described in this

compiled by veteran DJ John Peel. Possibly the only record in the world
where shouty punk lies down with speaker-rattling drum 'n' bass."

"Resolutely unmixed (apart form some fantastic echo at the end of The
