The Fall – Lay Of The Land
Old Grey Whistle Test
1984
I’ve been (wrongly) accused of being a “Fall” hater. Although they are not my favorite band, I can certainly appreciate Mark E. Smith. Plus, any band that has a dance troupe with their asses hanging out dancing to their music is OK in my book.

You could have easily seen The Fall at CMJ but passed on seeing another legendary late and unexplained shortend set so you wouldn’t miss seeing “Lost”. That plus you have been variously quoted as saying: “I would rather drink a bath-tub of my own vomit than go see The Fall.” I think that qualifies as a Fall-hater.
Ouch…
