Week 41: 29/04/06 - 18/01/07

Why they released I Can Hear The Grass Grow as a single is beyond me. It's okay, just not that great. There's a slow version. It's slower than the fast version. And there's a demo of Bo Doodak, which is like the album track but not quite as polished. Mark love's that "Modernity, Modernity' line a bit too much for my liking.

BUT. But. But. They cover Higgle-dy Piggle-dy. From that Monks tribute album. It's incredible - The Fall really could do the Monks like no other (not that anyone else tried to be honest). WAY DOWN.

The band don't quite get it, but Mark mumbles his way through the whole thing and it reminds me why the Fall are so necessary and so much a key part of my life. I love the Fall.
