Venimos de aquí. Pero es que, claro, pasadas las semanas, da un poco de palo seguir con la monserga en los comentarios del artículo. Que, total, para hablar conmigo mismo, ya tengo mis jornadas intensivas de autoconvencimiento y reafirmación cristiana.
Pues bien, el caso es el asilla Bob Stanley -viejo conocido de esta casa- se ha cascado un libro con una pintaza del carajo. Éste de aquí.
Yo no sé a ustedes, pero a mí no se me escapa.
Faber presents a definitive insight into the ever-influential world of Mark E. Smith and the Fall, featuring never-before-published essays and ephemera from fans and collectors, edited by Tessa Norton & Bob Stanley.
‘To 50,000 Fall Fans: please buy this inspired & inspiring, profound & provocative, beautiful & bonkers Book of Revelations, choc-stock-full of loving Acts by true Apostles, simultaneously both the scrapbook you wished you’d kept and a portal to futures & pasts, known & unknown, & a Fantastic Celebration of this Nation’s Saving Grace.’
DAVID PEACE
‘Mind blowing… brilliant.’

‘A container sized treasure trove bursting at the hinges with strangeness and wonder . . . I strongly advise you to buy it.’
MAXINE PEAKE
This is not a book about a rock band. This is not even a book about Mark E Smith. This is a book about The Fall group – or more precisely, their world.
Over a prolific forty-year career, the Fall created a world that was influential, idiosyncratic and fiercely original; it was an education. Who wouldn’t want to be armed with a working knowledge of M.R. James, contemporary dance and Manchester City?
Bringing together previously unseen artwork, rare ephemera and handwritten material, alongside essays by a slate of fans, EXCAVATE! is a vivid, definitive record – an illumination of the dark corners of the Fall’s wonderful and frightening world.
Limited edition prints based on Fall lyrics by designer Paul Wilson are available to the first 200 preorders through Rough Trade.
EXCAVATE! will be published on the 1st April 2021 by Faber in hardback, ebook and audio.

He is also a film-maker and founding member of the group Saint Etienne. He was Writer in Residence at the British Library in 2017.
Tessa Norton writes regularly about art, books and music for various publications including The Wire, and for exhibitions and events including Liverpool Biennial and The Tetley. She published the artists’ book The Fields Here Are Full of Ghosts with Wysing Arts Centre in 2019, and she is a Jerwood Arts Fellow at FACT gallery for 2020-21.
También han puesto este directo en circulación. Tiene una pinta cojonuda. es de buena añada y la canción que han filtrado como adelanto se sale. Pero, por lo menos aquí, lo venden a precio de transplante (unas £40, que se dice pronto). Así que, de momento, vamos a dejarlo pasar.
Vale que, por lo visto, el 50% del precio va destinado a causas benéficas, pero qué quieren que les diga... Sigo sin verlo claro.
"I’ve had the pleasure of being a Fall fan since I was a teen. I was lucky enough to have some guidance from my local record shop stoner-lords. They turned me on to many of my heroes, but once I heard my first slanted and barky Fall song, I was part of the army for life. The word prolific gets tossed around a lot. It almost seems like a slag-off in the press, as if they wish the artist would produce less so they wouldn’t have to do their self imposed job of judging releases for the rabble. The Fall is subjected to this lazy word often. Yet I can honestly say that I am SO thankful for any nugget of Fall that lands at my feet and in my brain. Live Fall performances are always a pleasure because they seem to take what already made the Fall great and push it even a bit more into the rough and bloody uncharted wasteland that is drug scorched proto-punk and heady political poetry. So, it is with great pleasure that we introduce this Fall bootleg soundboard recording to you. Recorded during one of the many strong points in the bands vast and mighty history. They really burn bright here and bring every ounce of what you expect from this formidable force. We have reached out to every surviving member of the band, the sound person, the bootlegger who recorded it and the photographer and received their blessings & help piecing it all together. Castle Face will be donating 50% of our profits to Centrepoint which helps the homeless in the Manchester area get back on their feet, so the local and deserving Fall fans get a little, and give a little back, too. Nothing but the hits here folks and as raw as you dig it. This one really is exceptional in terms of live sound for The Fall. All the stars were aligned over St. Helens that eve. And it wouldn’t be complete with a bit of Fall fan saltiness so, fuck you too, Jason.” - John Dwyer

el libro tiene una pinta estupenda y seguro que cae cuando salga en abril, así que mil gracias por avisar, que si no ni me hubiera enterado.
el disco ya me llama menos. si tuviera ya todos los discos interesantes de los fall, lo entendería más, pero por ahora prefiero dedicarme a buscar los discos que no tengo.

ufff, yo definitivamente me he rendido con estos chicos tras la escucha de la playlist que se añadió al artículo. me he rendido de que no les pillo, no de caer rendido a sus pies, entiéndase. eso sí, además de "victoria" reconozco que me gusta otra canción, la de "shoulder pads 1", que he añadido a una playlist mía. ale, mándenme a galeras!
A mí me da la sensación de que es una de esas cosas de las que uno nace, no se hace. Yo tampoco les pillo el chiste.

No quería entrar a este post ya que me parecía bastante obvio, unos de esos grupos fetiche de tanta gente que ya empieza un poco a cansar, al menos a servidor; ¡pero ya veo que hay casi más renegados que adeptos!
Yo pienso que... 50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong... eh, bueno... (chiste de flan)
La discografía del amic Mark y compañía es muy basta y dispar entre sí, quiero decir, te puedes calar perfectamente "The Wonderful And Frightening World Of..." y que "Dragnet" te parezca un buen cagarro y viceversa.
Yo siempre los he asociado a una personal clasificación denominada "outsiders", los Rowland S. Howard, Martin Newell, Chris Knox... peña con mucho mundo interior y eso hace que sea complicado para mucha gente ahondar en sus movidas. De entre estos, el amic Mark E. es el más accesible, no obstante. Es más, como comentaba el amic Inside, hay verdadera devoción en UK.
