Mark E. Smith, the one constant in that ever changing ensemble The Fall, died yesterday at age 60. Given his scathing opinions of everyone from Bowie (who nonetheless reportedly loved The Fall) to Mumford & Sons, it’s shocking to hear that he at least once dug a BBs track, according to Damon Gough in the link above. Wonder which one it was....

I never did make inroads into their music but by all accounts Smith was a real character. A great shame he's gone.

Two  of my danish friends: Lars Kjelfred & Jesper "Marne" Madsen are HUGE fans of Fall & Mark. They did a great rockumentary film about them : "It's Not Repetition,It's Discipline". They are also the guys who created the only Mt. Vernon & Fairway/SMiLE-movie in existence so far: "Dumb Angel Fairy Tale". So that's another connexion if U will ...
Famous last words from MarkEe Smith:
"Mark S.  I S  *Fall* !! [£afs] I skram ..."

He also wrote a song called Mike's Love Xexagon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xSvx2ubL_c).

Not too fond of Mike then...

The worm in the bacon of BB

His name was Love

But how were they to know

Mike's gift was only poison

Plots came thick and fast

Satanic meditations, shadow emissions

So hoist his music on the mast

So look at the worm in the bacon

Good vibrations, man

Little known trivia fact is that (all their differences aside), Mark & Mike share the same middle name: "EDWARD"!
