      @Big Valerie It's not really about a rabbit! M.E.S said so himself...mind you, who was it who said; "the worst interpreter of an artist's work is the artist himself?" Probably Godard, I think it was an "auteur"-type director, anyhow. Anyway this song, and the album it's from, is incredible. So good I bought it twice

    • @vollsticks
      @vollsticks 3 года назад +2

      @Big Valerie My mate who got me into The Fall (and many other "canonical" underground bands besides!) has a huge and eclectic record collection...and owns every album Kasabian ever put out! Which, I'm not gonna lie, weirded me out a bit. Like, he loves hyper-obscure kosmiche musik (or "krautrock" if you wanna be culturally insensitive and jingoistic about it! Don't forget, it was BRITISH journos who coined that term...it's always seemed insensitive at best and borderline racist at worst to me, tbh) and he's into this shitty, "Oasis with a better record collection" band! Strange. I just bought the LUS reissue/remaster on Let Them Eat Vinyl, good record, there's a lot to digest, the 90's output is where my Fall collection is skimpiest...EDIT: sorry it doesn't become one to brag about one's record collection, I'm currently waiting for my copies of "Live At St.Helens 1981" to turn up!

      The Fall have always sounded like a second rate university throw together to me I'm afraid - evidenced by this video. If I saw this back in the day at Sheffield Hallam I'd not be greatly impressed, I have to say. Why the Fall are so revered I'll never know, though I'm trying to like them more. Some of it is bound to be the John Peel effect, with Peel devotees claiming to love anything he liked a lot. Each to their own...

    There has to be at least one kid in this crowd who is watching this who will later look on this as the moment when his musical tastes suddenly changed. How I envy that kid!

    Fair comment, can see a lot of what you're saying is spot on. Just can't imagine anyone turning up to a gig where these guys take the stage and going sway thinking "let's sound like that" but I suppose if everyone liked the same thing it'd be a boring world.
