Fall News added 13 December I'm off for a couple of weeks and am leaving the Fall News in the capable hands of Conway and Clayts. Feel free to bombard them with emails. Happy holidays, all ! __________________ The Fall play ...
__________________ added 12 December Just in time for your Christmas shopping (thanks Shedlord!) __________________ added 12 December Two new press bits:
The following you'll have seen before, perhaps. I'm moving the links here to keep all the press bits in one Fall news block.
__________________ added 9 December I've added a great many press clippings from 1980-1985 to the gigography and bibliography, including this Sounds interview from 1983 that hadn't been posted anywhere before. Many thanks to David Flavell for sending the originals to Clayts, who scanned them in. __________________ added 5 December The BBC Fall documentary is getting a rare (its first?) showing in the United States, at the International House in Philadelphia on 16 & 17 December. Details here. __________________ added 29 November A song to brighten your dreary morning/ afternoon/ evening: Me and Your Granny on Bongos by the Armitage Shanks. __________________ added 21 November Link Wray, r.i.p. Very sad news indeed. Link died on 5 November and his funeral was held last Friday, 18 November, in Copenhagen. There's a lovely message from his wife and son on their site. Here's the interview the NME did with Link and Mark back in 1993. __________________ added 21 November After a long delay Narnack is finally shipping vinyl copies of Fall Heads Roll. This is the edition with the alternate version of Blindness, an mp3 of which is available on their site. __________________ added 18 November; updated 21 November As promised, Mark read the football scores on the BBCi "Score" programme Saturday afternoon (19 November). Steven has a Real media clip on his site, as well as the Fall bits from the recent "John Peel's Record Box" BBC programme. __________________ added 17 November Michael Pollard has kindly sent in many of his excellent photos of the recent Sankey's Soap gig, a few from last August's Moorfest, and a couple of additions to his two Fall photoshoots from 1984 and 1985. Many thanks, Michael! __________________ added 16 November Many thanks to Milkcan for scanning in a couple of old interviews for the bibliography. __________________ added 14 November; updated 16 November From Uncut:
Also, the December issue of The Word (#34) has a free CD with "Early Days of Channel Führer." And the current Magnet Magazine (probably Oct/Nov, issue #69) has a free CD with "I Can Hear the Grass Grow." __________________ added 14 November Tony:
"Have you picked up on a 7" single by a group called Necropolis, on a label called Columbus Discount Records out of Ohio? The A side's called "Stalking Mark E Smith Around NYC". Only came across it by accident, but how could I resist such a title? Luckily the track's pretty good too, a kind of angular No Wave guitar trio revival type of thing. Well worth checking out. The group's url seems to be: www.necropolisrocks.com." Looks like the single was released in January 2005, so the Fall news is a bit late on this one, sorry. __________________ added 18 October; updated 9 November Thanks to my good friend Jon in Reykjavik:
In Cod We Trust ! Oskar:
There are loads of Kimono tracks (including Codomatopoeia) on their website (in the multimedia section). 9 November: the link to listen to and/or download Codomatopoeia has been removed from both of the above sites. No idea who requested its removal, but I could hazard a guess. A bit more info on all the above from Spoilt Victorian Child (great photo!):
__________________ added 7 November; updated 9 November The Brighton council is trying to close Brighton's best music venue, Concorde 2, to under 18s. If you disagree with their decision, please take a moment to sign this petition. Nov. 9: good news -- the Brighton council has backed down. And not to be outdone, the Northamptonshire County Council is considering withdrawing funding for Roadmender. Sign this petition, please! __________________ added 1 November bits and pieces:

Excellent news indeed from David Luff, publisher of 1985's "The Fall Lyrics." David has decided to unload the copies he has left over of the first edition (which has gone for as much as £81 on ebay) for a mere £10 (including p&p). The Fallshop has temporarily reopened for this item only, or if you prefer you can order a copy on ebay. __________________
