If you like her flow, check out Sampa the Great - her last album is amazing.?
Hello,

I'm looking forward to listening to it! I was really bummed that the vinyl sold out immediately. Gotta act fast these days. I've loved the little bit I've heard.

Deep Listening is amazing if you're into that kind of thing, which I am.
Tom Robinson has been sitting in for Gid Coe on radio 6 recently and his show has been a real eye-opener.

He has drawn my attention to the fact that there is so much utterly shyte music around these days! I was totally unaware and feel a bit of a fool for telling people that music is going through a golden patch.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Tom for selflessly performing such a valuable public service.

I’m going to retreat back into my cocoon of good tunes now and never venture out again.

Oh, and ObFallCon - the IDLES song "Mr. Motivator" namechecks The Fall:?
"Like Tracey Emin in her unmade bed listening to The Fall"

Re: 2-4-6-8 whataloadofshyte
Wonderful observations, and I wholeheartedly agree. The stuff I hear these days is utter shyte and I don’t mind saying so. While we’re at it, get off my lawn and no, you can’t have your ball back!

It's a pretty fun, if cheezy, film. Very much of its time.

Realised I'd never watched the film - Standells and CWB are fab, but I don't think this song made the cut (unless way in the background). But Deborah Travis credited as Herself. Groovy.

Found this track on a very bootleggy looking compilation on Spotify, and it's a lovely one but I cannae believe it's your actual Standells:
Is it?? Anyone recognise it?? I suppose it could be some b-side with a guest vocalist or something.

“De is not appreciated”?

I just met a Fall fan friend-of-a-friend who proudly showed me his forearm tattoo that he claimed said "Hip Priest" in a sort of ornate blackletter style.
I did not have the heart to tell him that it looked to me like it said what I wrote up in the subject line here..
Careful with your tattoo lettering choices, frenz..

Agreed. Me and my spawn busted a gut… *nina* ?
