Week 43: 09/10/07 - 290/06/08

And now I have expectations. At this point Live is all about how much booze has happened. On record, and in the studio, The Fall are still as mighty as they ever were. This is a good good record too. I can't believe Mark's been to Alton Towers but he's written a song with that title. It's a good un, as is the following Wolf Kidult Man.

50 Year Old Man, and I guess Mark is about 50 at this point - he's proud of it, it would seem. I've Been Duped is a cracker too - all shouty chorus and Eleni, who has a voice for the Fall.

Taurig is an encapsulation of why the band is so good at this point - all electronic bloops and bonkersness. They keep the pace up through out, and Mark can still churn out a song called "Senior Twilight Stock Replace". And of course, exploding chimney, to end. How many bands can release upwards of 28 studio albums, and still sound fresh and interesting on their last. Not Many.
