I’ve been revisiting the Fall since MES left the stage. I was a fan from 1979 and was buying the vinyl for fifteen years. Got to see the various line ups live many times too, then I got too old for mad nights out.
The last two years I’ve listened to the whole body of work, a lot of which I hadn’t heard before, and your comments have guided me along.
Respect for your efforts, this post made me cry again but The N.W.R.A.

Thanks again, Steve, this really has been a fantastic run of posts that I’ve looked forward to then savoured each and every time.

For what it’s worth, my wife hates The Fall with a passion too!

A most enjoyable year reading this blog. I admire your research, you interweaving of source materials, the youtube choice, everything. Great job.

(Now what do we do?)

Thank you. If you haven’t heard it the cover of Immortality by Paranoid London is worth searching out…. “don’t try and put it in your pock-book-et”. Sublime.

Good plan. I’ll give you a shout in January and we’ll sort something out.

This has been a great pleasure to read over the past few months and I will miss it terribly. Your experience of how you heard the dreadful news is moving and reminds me of mine. One of these days we should grab another pint together and I’ll tell you about it.

I’m blubbing now times 2 – for the ending of this project which was so thorough, but for yet again the hard realisation that MES has gone and we will never hear anything new from him again. All hail.
