Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

⦿Sun in ♓︎Pisces, Year of Fire 🐓Rooster
' Mark Edward Smith (5 March 1957 – 24 January 2018) was an English singer, who was the lead singer, lyricist and only constant member of the post-punk group the Fall. Smith formed the band after attending the June 1976 Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester and was its leader until his death. During their 42-year existence, the Fall's line-up included some sixty musicians, with whom Smith released 31 studio albums and numerous singles and EPs.
Smith had a difficult and complex personality and was a long-term alcoholic. He was known for his biting and targeted wit, evident in interviews, for which he was much in demand by music journalists throughout his career. He was suspicious of the trappings of fame and largely avoided socialising with people associated with the music scene, including other Fall members. The dark and sardonic aspect of his personality often appears in his lyrics; he especially derided music industry people. Smith's approach to music was unconventional and he did not have high regard for musicianship, stating that "rock & roll isn't even music really. It's a mistreating of instruments to get feelings over".
The Fall are regarded as one of the most important and influential post-punk bands of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Although Smith was difficult to work with, he was revered by fans and critics, and on his death was described as a "strange kind of antimatter national treasure".

I'm heading out on a walk shortly, but could use a little refreshment before I go. I've been getting on better terms with ChatGPT, and have coaxed it into writing some more appropriate cocktail recipes (full details here: pastebin.com... ). Would you fix me its latest refreshment, a Gray Goo and Soda?*

* Gray Goo and Soda, from the Stork Club Cocktail Bible, AI edition: To make a Gray Goo and Soda, we'll start by pouring a shot of Glen Passaic whiskey into a glass. Then, we'll add in a few drops of nanobots, followed by a generous splash of carbonated water.

The nanobots will immediately start to break down the whiskey and turn it into a gray, gooey substance. But don't worry, it's completely harmless! The gray goo will give the drink a unique texture, while the carbonated water will add some fizz and refreshment.

Just be careful not to spill any of the nanobots, or they might start to disassemble everything in their path!

Have considered MES practically in the category of Artists who were Neurological Others - with Monk & Syd even - in that he was totally wired differently & thru Creative acts gave us a window into a quite other angle perspective. Which I reckon might be one of the greatest contributions Art could offer.
In any event - TheFall & certainly MES complete one-offs. Their influence is certainly to be noted - but comparisons remain buggered...

(You can tell this is an AI recipe, because it has the nanobots breaking down the Glen Passaic, and not vice-versa. Poor naive machine.)

I remember finding myself standing next to MES once at the bar in the Henry Royce pub in Hulme. I made the very excellent decision not to talk to him.

Tony Herrington, former editor of the Wire, once told me that whenever he went to interview MES (one of the few journalists MES actually liked), his recording equipment or his watch would inevitably fail. MES emitted some kind of forcefield which would disrupt items around him.
