Interesting how many of their tracks are bass-driven. The shows I saw always had that great growling bass. Once, during the first song, he walked over and turned the bass ALL THE WAY UP. Nearly gave the soundman a heart attack

What a shame. I was just reminded that he appeared (vocally) in an episode of "Duckman", whose creator, Everett Peck, passed away recently.

Going to Stereolab tomorrow, so that show gets my vote

Dean, you of anyone might be familiar with the work of Sigrid Nunez. What Are You Going Through, her most recent book so unhinged me with the cold facts of illness and death, I'm having a little trouble reading anything else at the moment. Recommended.

Zipperhead7:

Sure! Do a Stereolab show, Gary! Would like to learn more
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:37pm
Franco Twinkie:

Yes on Stereolab!

Dean:

I don't know Nunez, but I'll explore.

I have no attraction to Stereolab.

Thanks Gary - Gotta roll - Really enjoyed the set. I have never really listened to The Fall. Remembered "Totally Wired" from KALX back in the day, but that's about it. Really great to hear this deep dive - remarkably consistent and memorable material at all stages of his/their career.

Thanks for hanging out, Tim -- always great to see you!

Listen up, listeners! After listening to this, why not stick around and listen for Sam Segal's If You Lose Your Horse? Tonight's program "It Was the Baron Covered with Iron, Not the Horse" wfmu.org...

Steve Hanley was the primary Fall bassist. One of the greats, and has never received his due.

Seems that Mark was an ornery guy

Could be, Chresti ... must just coulda been

Us who know give Steve Hanley one knee.

I agree, chresti, but who among us isn't an ornery guy?

I've been listening to those Macunians for forty years and I still don't know how they do it. But, they do.

coming in with an 11th hour contrarian/spoil-sport take: I'd always been pretty ambivalent about The Fall, but now as this 3 hour program winds to an end I can definitively say: not a fan! haha oh well. definitely some interesting moments, but on the whole, not for me

'tis true my dear. But I can still go off the rails before beddy bye.

Franco, thank you for bringing up Sigred Nunez. On reviewer ending comment on that book. "There’s no question—the sad stories in What Are You Going Through could happen to anyone. The book poignantly reveals a sorrow that belongs to everyone, and in this, offers a lasting comfort."

Gary, def not saying it's your fault. Maybe the one who posted the album on Discogs made the mistake in oversight.
