MUSIC: We all Fall down

...the nearest equivalent to Smith's songs in terms of style and subject matter would be the early works of Thomas Pynchon: all those strange character names, the convoluted narratives, the abiding sense of paranoia, and the feeling of the whole barely being held together by an overriding, but fragile and fractured, authorial voice.- The Guardian, Jan 16th 2006.

Put a note in your diary now - 10th Feb 2006 on BBC radio 3's Mixing It the mighty Fall will be in session, including new versions of songs from the latest album, Fall Heads Roll, and a rare interview with vocalist Mark E Smith.

Its not quite a Peel session, but it will have to do.

If, per chance, your unfamiliar with the Fall I suggest you check out "The Wonderful and Frightening World of Mark E. Smith", which was an excellent BBC Four documentary.
