Fall News
The Fall play ...
It appears very unlikely that they'll be playing the U.S. before October; possibly afterwards. __________________ added 24 August BBC Radio 1 has declared 13 October to be Peel Day, a day dedicated to the memory of the late great John Peel. Concert venues around the UK are being invited by Radio 1 to stage gigs under the banner Peel Day and a special gig is being organised for London. The Fall will be playing in Dundee on this date. __________________ added 23 August The BBC's love affair with The Fall continues with the news that DJ Gideon Coe, who is standing in for Phill Jupitus on the Radio 6 Breakfast Show, has made forthcoming double A side release I Can Hear The Grass Grow/Clasp Hands his single of the week. The Beeb states a UK release date of 26th September, although Sanctuary have told us it is actually due out on the 19th. __________________ added 22 August That media-shy celebrity Fall fan, Stewart Lee, has again been found guilty of proclaiming his love for the band at every given opportunity in a public place by mentioning them in answer to two questions in Saturday's Fall-packed edition of The Guardian newspaper (20 August 2005) :
In next Saturday's Guardian, a special 32 page Fall colour supplement (this statement may be a lie). __________________ added 21 August Stefan forgot to mention that from 6 August 2005 an instrumental version (less the lads' and Elena's shouts of "Hey !") of The Fall's 'Sparta #2' is the current introductory music to not one, but two bastions of Saturday afternoon televised sports coverage in the UK, Football Focus and Final Score, both part of the infamous and long-running BBC Grandstand sports programme. davedeath on the forum, notes that The Guardian of 20 August 2005 (second story down) has reported on this welcome turn of events thusly :
Rumours that Fallshop will soon be selling a new Sparta range of scarves and bobble hats in time for winter, along with a wooden rattle, are grossly exaggerated... __________________ added 9 August; updated 18 August perhaps a slight resemblance to...
Conway:
The album will have 14 tracks with the running order... Ride Away / Pacifying Joint / What About Us / Midnight Aspen / Assume / Midnight Aspen Reprise / Blindness / I Can Hear The Grass Grow / Bo Demmick / Youwanner / Clasp Hands / Early Days of Channel Fuehrer / Breaking The Rules / Trust In Me ... and the Narnack version of the single has been pushed back to September 6: I Can Hear the Grass Grow (album version) / I Can Hear the Grass Grow (alt. mix) / Bo Doodak (alt. version of the album's Bo Demmick). __________________ added 19 August In case you missed it, Steven has a clip from the television broadcast of Mark accepting the Deisel U Matic lifetime achievement award last month on his site. It's well worth downloading! __________________
