I love The Fall.
Countdown to End of TIMJ #11: I've yet to post a song on this site by the Fall, who over the years have been one of my favorite groups. Frontman Mark E. Smith has obstinately recorded under the Fall brand since the clattering punk days of ’76, through countless lineup changes, including an ’06 tour during which half of the band defected. The sharpness of his always-acerbic tongue has dulled a bit in the last few years, but in the Jam era there has been a recent uptick in quality of Fall releases, beginning with the 2013 EP The Remainderer and then this year's new full-length (roughly the band's 31st), Sub-Lingual Tablet. (Hell, I even dug their 2014 concert album Live Uurop VIII-XII Places in Sun & Winter, Son; how's that for an album title?) I'm still feeling my way around that new album, which is quite good itself, but The Remainderer—whose title track I'm posting today—was my favorite Fall release in five years.
