I was a big Fall fan in the 80s, saw them live plenty and have all the albums from that era. I always kept an eye on them since then but it was more of an amused eye, if you know what I mean. I occasionally remind myself of a track I’d forgotten and have read the books.
The thing about The Fall for me, though, is that I almost listen to them as a comedy band. It’s not music I’d close my eyes and get lost in or have a spliff to. It’s almost like bubblegum, a bit of a cheap and dirty habit. Does that make sense?
