Probably sold more of these tapes than anything else.That's a remarkable self-interview by the rather out-of-it Mark Smith of The Fall.Well, let's kick off now.I shout for The Fall, and I'm about to interview myself for my fee.I mean, a friend, Grant, in his bid to clean up the market,interested in what emperors and latter-day art heroes like myself have to say.Hang on, I'll just get my line, I mean, lines.Yeah, I could go on about a load of ***, the music business and all that,and how Melody Maker is becoming a threat to the proletariat.I sincerely believe that.That's it.My mother just told me that, um...The person of the group that recorded Turnin' Japanese,Turnin' Japanese, you know Turnin' Japanese,was a *** liar.Can you believe that?Can you believe it?So I'll stick to my band and just say,The Fall have got a single coming out about June on a record label.I'm not prepared to disclose.And he's not...So he's doing how I wrote...Elastic Man, which is about how the public kill off their hero's creativity, and CityHub Goblin, which was originally entitled Case for the Jews, none of that's got anythingto do with the song, presently about to be released. Go into your record dealer and askwhy, ask your local record dealer why he's such a dick. City Hub Goblins is, er, it'sgood. It's P.O. to Paranoia, number 1097. We've got a new drummer on it, called PaulHanley, who's Steve's brother, who can't be here at the moment because he's at school.The rest of the guys are...They can't be here at the moment because I wouldn't let them come here at the moment.Er, yeah, Paul took over from Mike, he left the band a while back for various reasons.In fact, they got a... there's a fanzine interview with him, and this is how it quotes,they asked him about the full relationship with drugs, and he says...He says, let's get this straight, drugs have killed and maimed...Thousands of people, and it's about a so-called working class hero, stood up and said somethingabout it. Well, Mike was always a good contrast to the band. Erm, I won't bring up, like,the 18 million Teddy Boy deaths caused by the landing craft invasion...Very helpful.Very helpful....in 1983.Let's just say, er, it's all OK. Change of plans.Change is as good as a rest. Erm, Wynne's had to do some sporadic gigs around everywhere.Er, let's go back to Elastic Man, about the public killing off their hero's creativity.I was talking more about Jimmy Greaves, George Best, if you don't believe me, just ask them.Biographical.Biographical.Biographical.Biographical.Biographical.And, erm, yeah, the four are OK, we... well, we're doing an LP so much so it'll consistof some songs with good stories and some melodies and voices and instruments and exercises.This LP will fill up the rubbish part of the club off the coffee table like those other73 Revival LPs masquerading under various New Wave trademarks, but will put a bit ofintelligence back into the scene as usual. All the groups imitate us, but they alwaysunderrate us. I don't think they should shut up about bandsbeing Barrages.presently making a mint out of four rip-offs but they've got to live with themselves and i wouldn'tlike to be that i've just met this lad i know he's been uh made redundant years on the kidjensen or something they just burn the cat but uh this is what i know this lad wasn't very impressedum i've been thinking about this a lot actually i mean no way is he going to figure it out fromthe morass of stuff he's got to listen to it's very common nowadays peoplepeople are told somehow somehow what the band so and so bands are goodif their band acts like stars they'll be treated like stars you know that's that's uhthat's common sense but the fall the fall the main idea of the fall is to leave the mark and uhwe have done and we willyoucarry on doing um instead of asking why the fall and if people should ask why all the other bandsin it are if you put it on a world situation basis it's like the russians are persecutedwell the russians aren't persecuted but the russians are sort of rightfully castigated forpublicizing what they do why the argentinians and their idea men get away with things andreplay football against them and go into thetheir country because they don't they are not honest about you know this because it is welldocumented it's pretty same thing in the music if a band gets uh treated like stars they act likestars the fact that nobody turns up to the gigs doesn't seem to really matter but it works itworks on the publici'm changing into ai'm changing into ayou are total 17. i have two theories the first that northern white crop theory how can you listento idiots like him that's just been on my first my second theory is underground medicine here isthat fool who's just been talking singing about itohohaaaaalet's seeyeahinimitable uhmarquis smith of the fall there and a little piece of the full lineso the clip because it was rather loose sort of qualitylike the rest of this tankthe rest of this tankThank you.
