Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments	Approx. start time
The Fall	Pumpkin Soup & Mashed Potatoes	The Unutterable	Eagle Records	2000	The Fall happily hack their way through light jazz in the most off-kilter, absurd way. From Annotated Fall: "This song, which is kind of a novelty for the Fall, is done in a lounge jazz style." -- Lyrics: "Parmesan carrots with mushrooms / Frankly that I've never been keen / It's pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / That's for my Hallowe'en tea / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / That has always been my dream / / Physicians moan about the guarantees of vegetables / But to be frank what I'm keen on is that same old scene / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / That is my Hallowe'en tea / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / That's why I'm always keen / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / They'll keep me clean / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / / I'm old, not much, but I'm going mad / Because of the starvation that I've had / Clouds rush by / But I always have my dream / / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / That is my hallowe'en tea / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes"	0:00:00 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Fall	Pumpkinhead Xscapes "Pumpkinhead Xscapes" by "The Fall"	Ed's Babe (Single) / Code Selfish [Expanded]	Phonogram / Mercury Records	1992 / 2007	This song is often stuck in my head, there's a vocal part in that it annoys the hell out of me. Unfortunately, it's the part that's stuck in my head. Even more weirdly, I sort of like it, too. "According to Simon Wolstencroft in You Can Drum But You Can't Hide, this song 'started out as a joke about Craig's cat going missing.'"	0:04:36 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Fall	Pumpkinhead Escapes "Pumpkinhead Escapes" by "The Fall"	Sinister Waltz	Receiver Records Limited	1996	A remixed instrumental version from one of the mid-90's era "Receiver Records" rarities+live compilations. (A series of releases oft-maligned due to quality and quantity concerns... The floodgates burst open regarding the reissue scene for the Fall in the 90's) I very much enjoy this. It exists nowhere else except on this comp.	0:06:43 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Wolf Kidult Man "Wolf Kidult Man" by "The Fall"	Imperial Wax Solvent [Expanded]	Cherry Red Records	2008	An excellent opening for an excellent song. The first album from the last regular lineup of The Fall, the most stable lineup in the band's history, withstanding 10 uninterrupted years of consecutive Fall service. "Recorded at Mouse On Mars' St. Martin Ton Studio, Duesseldorf, May-June 2007 and Gracielands Studio, Rochdale late 2007. / There are some quite noticeable edits, particularly in track 5, that may sound like mastering faults - they are intentional." Pedantic fact: Released a full 18 years prior to "Extricate!", this would be the second album to feature artwork from Anthony Frost; the two albums sharing a very similar style, look & palette. Unusual, for Fall albums, to have two such strikingly similar covers by the same artist, so many years apart.	0:08:28 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Sing! Harpy "Sing! Harpy" by "The Fall"	Extricate	Phonogram	1990	"In Greek and Roman mythology, a harpy (plural harpies, Ancient Greek: ἅρπυια, romanized: hárpyia, pronounced [hárpyːa]; Latin: harpȳia is a half-human and half-bird personification of storm winds. They feature in Homeric poems. Harpies were generally depicted as birds with the heads of maidens, faces pale with hunger and long claws on their hands. Roman and Byzantine writers detailed their ugliness. Pottery art depicting the harpies featured beautiful women with wings. Ovid described them as human-vultures. //// To Hesiod, they were imagined as fair-locked and winged maidens, who flew as fast as the wind: [T]he Harpyiai (Harpies) of the lovely hair, Okypete (Ocypete) and Aello, and these two in the speed of their wings keep pace with the blowing winds, or birds in flight, as they soar and swoop, high aloft. //// Aeschylus - Even as early as the time of Aeschylus, harpies were described as ugly creatures with wings, and later writers carried their notions of the harpies so far as to represent them as most disgusting monsters. The Pythian priestess of Apollo recounted the appearance of the harpies in the following lines: Before this man an extraordinary band of women [i.e. harpies] slept, seated on thrones. No! Not women, but rather Gorgons I call them; and yet I cannot compare them to forms of Gorgons either. Once before I saw some creatures in a painting, carrying off the feast of Phineus; but these are wingless in appearance, black, altogether disgusting; they snore with repulsive breaths, they drip from their eyes hateful drops; their attire is not fit to bring either before the statues of the gods or into the homes of men. I have never seen the tribe that produced this company, nor the land that boasts of rearing this brood with impunity and does not grieve for its labor afterwards. //// Virgil - Bird-bodied, girl-faced things they (Harpies) are; abominable their droppings, their hands are talons, their faces haggard with hunger insatiable //// Hyginus - They are said to have been feathered, with cocks' heads, wings, and human arms, with great claws; breasts, bellies, and female parts human. //// Functions and abodes: Mirror with figure of a Harpy, 11–12th century CE, Termez, Uzbekistan. The harpies seem originally to have been wind spirits (personifications of the destructive nature of wind). Their name means 'snatchers' or 'swift robbers', and they were said to steal food from their victims while they were eating and carry evildoers (especially those who have killed their families) to the Erinyes. When a person suddenly disappeared from the Earth, it was said that he had been carried off by the harpies. Thus, they carried off the daughters of King Pandareus and gave them as servants to the Erinyes. In this form they were agents of punishment who abducted people and tortured them on their way to Tartarus. They were depicted as vicious, cruel, and violent. The harpies were called "the hounds of mighty Zeus" thus "ministers of the Thunderer (Zeus)". Later writers listed the harpies among the guardians of the underworld among other monstrosities including the Centaurs, Scylla, Briareus, Lernaean Hydra, Chimera, Gorgons and Geryon. Their abode was described as either the islands called Strofades, a place at the entrance of Orcus, or a cave in Crete."	0:11:40 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Elf Prefix "Elf Prefix" by "The Fall"	Seminal Live	Beggar's Banquet	1989	On the album this is grafted as an intro onto the live version of L.A. ("Elf Prefix / L.A." - Live in Vienna April 16, 1989") Here we've uncoupled it for your singular enjoyment. Makes more sense an an intro to "Elves", anyway.	0:17:12 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Elves "Elves" by "The Fall"	The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall	Beggar's Banquet	1984	Notes from Annotated Fall [Elves]. This cops the riff from The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog." According to Brix and Hanley (via Reformation): Quotes from the booklet accompanying The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall (re-release of the album by Beggars Banquet, 2010): Brix Smith "Elves was mine. I think it was I Wanna Be Your Dog, of which at the time I was truly unaware. I must have heard it and not even realised what I had done. Until later, and at which time I went to dig a hole in the dirt!" Steve Hanley: "This is I Wanna Be Your Dog...what we used to do is try to hide that kind of thing...and make it your own. But by the time we finished with Elves it sounded nothing like The Stooges." //////// MES also says that Brix had never heard the song at the time. //////// Embarrassing or not, the Stooges' riff makes a return on the Peel rendition of "Clasp Hands," and can be heard in a somewhat altered form in "Rememberance R." //////// The CD notes for this song say "a Tubby commotion at the feet" Lloyd "brain and face made of cow-pat" Cole?, not scotch but scot-based"	0:17:52 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	City Hobgoblins "City Hobgoblins" by "The Fall"	How I Wrote Elastic Man 7"	Rough Trade	1980	"MES in Tapezine self-interview, 1980: "...City Hobgoblins which was originally called Case for the Jews, not that that's got anything to do with the song...it's good. It's a paean to paranoia number 1097. We've got a new drummer on it called Paul Hanley...can't be here at the moment because he's got school." "The Case for the Jews" is the name of a 1930 essay by Louis Judah Gribetz, and also a 1948 essay by WEB DuBois" //// Lyrics: "Spiders know these things / Gremlins know these things / Tap, tap, tap, tap / You think it's the pipes / But who turns on the lights? / Our city hobgoblins / Our city hobgoblins / Ubu le Roi is a home hobgoblin / And at nights all ready / Our city hobgoblins / Our city hobgoblins / Infest my home at night / They are not alright / Ten times my age / One-tenth my height / Our city hobgoblins / Our city hobgoblins / Buzz of the all-night mill / Ah but evil / Emigres from old green glades / Pretentious, eh? / Our city hobgoblins / Our city hobgoblins / They'll get yer / So Queen Victoria / Is a large black slug in Piccadilly, Manchester / Our city hobgoblins / Our city hobgoblins / And they say / We cannot walk the floor at night in peace / At night in peace"	0:22:37 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Fibre Book Troll "Fibre Book Troll" by "The Fall"	Sub-Lingual Tablet	Cherry Red Records	2015	Alternately called Facebook Troll (there are different versions of the song, including an extended vinyl-only one [under this title] that is twice the length.) "MES has said that this song is about how he "can't get anyone to get rid of my imposters in the internet." In fact, there is a Facebook page under the name "Mark E. Smith," but the account holder doesn't post as MES; this actually seems quite common with famous people, for instance Jimi Hendrix has a Facebook page, but it doesn't seem that the intention is to bamboozle people into thinking he's communicating from beyond the grave. There is a Twitter page under MES's name which does purport to be the man himself, although it seems clear to anyone paying a modicum of attention that it's a spoof (which hasn't stopped certain journalists from occasionally quoting "Mark E. Smith"!)."	0:25:01 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Fall	Fiend with a Violin - Vox	Fiend With A Violin	Receiver Records Limited	1996	Fall fans familiar w/ "2x4" will identify this as an outtake / alternate. The expanded/deluxe archive version of "The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall" has some alternate versions of "2x4" that are titled "New Fiend". The song references a fiend. As for the comp. this appears on; the Receiver Records compilations that were released in the mid-90's are generally agreed to be of dubious quality, but they did indeed contain many rarities and curiosities, otherwise unavailable in times previous or henceforth.	0:31:00 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Fall	Fiend with a Violin "Fiend with a Violin" by "The Fall"	Fiend With A Violin	Receiver Records Limited	1996	The instrumental version of "Fiend with a Violin" -- From the liner notes of the comp: "The title track "Fiend With A Violin" which has never been heard before pushes the envelope of creativity to the extreme and finds Mark E. Smith in the usual role of violin player." Two notes: 1) Though M.E.S. scraped violin strings discordantly on quite a few tracks, it was never his 'usual' role. 2.) I, personally, very much doubt the player on this track is Mark E. Smith at all.	0:32:23 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Fall	Sinister Waltz "Sinister Waltz" by "The Fall"	Shiftwork	Phonogram	1991	The instrumental, moody (monotonous?) closing track of 1991's stripped-down Shiftwork album. The band had been stripped down to just 4 core members at that time, w/ Dave Bush playing "Machines" on some tracks. He would later become an official member of the band from '92-'95, then go on to join Elastica for their second (and final) album.	0:35:21 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	(We Are) Mod Mock Goth "(We Are) Mod Mock Goth" by "The Fall"	(We Wish You) A Protein Christmas	Action Records	2003	Fall superfans and "experts" say that the Mod Mock Goth was an actual person...Mod Mock Goth is not about Ed Blaney. It's about a young hot-shot talent agent based in London who briefly took over managing the group while Ed was out of the picture for a bit. The Mod Mock Goth during his tenure came very close to signing the Fall to Mute/EMI along with a lucrative publishing deal for the Country On The Click album - both sabotaged by MES. Mod goth is apparently a subset of goth, which incorporates elements of mod (short for "modernist," a term that is in this context derived from the jazz scene and is the term complement to "trad" or traditional jazz). Mod started in Britain in the late 1950s and was, like goth, a very fashion-conscious scene, involving bespoke suits and attention to hair, although mod styles are generally more mainstream than those associated with goth. The mod goth look, it seems, involves putting a darker (both literally and figuratively) and somewhat more outré emphasis on mod-style clothing. The character(s) in this song seems to be a bit older and more slovenly than your average conscientious mod goth, but of course the "mock" must also be taken in to account. In fact, the phrase "mock goth" isn't MES's creation either, as the term seems to have been used, predating this song, to describe poseur goths.	0:40:33 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Taurig [Britannia Row Recordings 21/09/07 version]	Imperial Wax Solvent (Expanded Version) - Disc 2: Britannia Row Recordings 21/09/07	Sanctuary	2008 / 2020	There are two versions of this, it has come to light. The original version on the original 2008 album; has (intentionally) lyrics so low in the mix that only fragments can be heard. In 2020 an expanded edition was released, featuring mixes from the Britannia Row Sep 21, 2007 Recordings. This is the version of this song there where vocals are very much up front, from both Mark E. Smith & also Eleni Poulou. As mentioned before, In old Germany, old Dutch, and old Norse, word "traurig" means bloody, sad or gloomy. And this track is indeed rather gloomy and unsettling!	0:45:17 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Scareball "Scareball" by "The Fall"	Masquerade Single	Artful	1998	Lyrically, MES is very cryptic on this one. His text is particularly fragmented, too. After some initial "Bah bah"s, which seem to hold no recognisable tune or have any other relevance to the song ("No different to any other Fall song!", I hear you cry), he encompasses rabbits, handkerchiefs, Chinese business practices and shrimps into his narrative. And no, I have no idea what he's going on about. Julia Nagle provides some vocals on this, and it's driven along by Karl Burns' high hat. The musical concision of a three-piece Fall (with Julia on guitar), and a remarkable measure of restaint from Hanley, makes this a pretty enjoyable (but still creepy) three minutes.	0:48:19 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	There's A Ghost In My House - BBC Session	The Frenz Experiment [Expanded Edition]	Beggar's Banquet	2020	A BBC session for Janice Young yields this excellent version of GIMH. Originally penned by R Dean Taylor and Holland Dozier Holland....It was released as a single on the Motown subsidiary V.I.P. label in April 1967, but was not a hit. However, after it had become a popular dance song in Northern soul clubs in Britain, such as the Blackpool Mecca and Wigan Casino. True Northern Soulies are often put off by this version of their beloved song (the horror! the horror!) but MES does a great job of capturing the original vibe.	0:51:14 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	C.R.E.E.P. "C.R.E.E.P." by "The Fall"	C.R.E.E.P.			It has often been assumed that this song is about Marc Riley, who apparently was nicknamed "creep" as a youth. RIley himself has stated that the song is about him. Both Mark and Brix Smith, however, deny this. 'I'm so proud of that song. I didn't see it as pure pop because it hasn't been accepted like that. It's got good words in it and that throws people off - their brains are so degenerate now, that if they hear something they don't understand ... they just drop it. I always thought it would appeal to children and it does. A lot of very young kids (seven or eight) seem to like it. I never thought, though, that the creep was the guy who smelt bad at school; it was always the most popular guy in the class, 'cos you knew damn well he wouldn't do well in life, the sort who'd cry when the exam results came out.' Brix:- "Everyone always thinks that Fall songs are about themselves and that was especially so with "Creep." Some people thought it was about Morrisey which it wasn't. Marc Riley, our old guitarist, thought it was about him, which it wasn't. It's about every creep in the world.'" In her autobiography, she comes clean with this admission: 'Everyone assumed it was about Marc Riley, but Mark's lyrics were a takedown of the previous tour manager, Scumech ("He is a scum-egg, a horrid trendy wretch").'" He was a trendy and Mark referred to him as a 'dickhead'. For some reason, Mark took great offence at Scumech. Perhaps it was because he would keep the tour money in his briefcase and handcuff it to radiators. He was robotic, which also annoyed Mark, He had the facade of being hip, but was actually quite bureaucratic, in a German way."	0:54:22 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Fall	The Funeral Mix - 12" Version	White Lightning 12"	Cog Sinister	1990		0:57:18 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Jawbone And The Air-Rifle	Hex Enduction Hour	Kamera Records	1982	Now we enter deep into Fall dense narrative / horror story territory. This song presented itself fully formed in sets from 1980 onwards, it did not find its way to an album or single for two years, but was not reworked from the original. (A rarity for a long standing 'road tested' Fall song.) //// --- Many detailed notes & full lyrics on the song here, as always, at: Annotated Fall: [Jawbone And The Air-Rifle], including this tidbit: "Paul Hanley's "Have a Bleedin Guess" book quotes Marc Riley (125): Mark said to Craig that he wanted something like 'Run Rabbit Run' to fit his lyrics. We wrote it in my bedroom. "Run Rabbit Run" is a song by Flanagan and Allen from the World War II era. The melody can be discerned in the riff here."	1:07:55 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Spectre vs. Rector "Spectre vs. Rector" by "The Fall"	Dragnet	Step-Forward	1979	"From the "Dragnet" handout/insert of song explanations: Part of this was recorded in a damp warehouse in M/CR-maybe industrial ghosts are making spectres redundant." //////// From the comments section of this excellent AV Club article about this song , user 'Yoga Fire' asks: "Is this the song with the bassline that goes "DERM. DERM. DERM. DERM. DERM. DERM. DERM. DER-BA-DER-BA" for 7 minutes? That's the shit.", then responds to own question: "I checked, and it is. Oh fuck yeah" //////// This is a dense, rich epic, the first half recorded in a factory, sounding intentionally distant, echoey and submerged. There are too many lyrics & interpretations therein to mention here, but of lyric influences and references within the song: "M.R. (Montague Rhodes) James (1862-1936) was an influential author of ghost stories."//////// ""The Haunted Palace - directed by R Corman, is an adaptation of HP Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward story. In it, Vincent Price is trying to bring his old mistress back from the dead by using a Latinate incantation which concludes with a repeated 'vivat...vivat.'"? //////// "Yog Sothoth, in the Cthulhu Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), is an "Outer God" who appears as "a congeries of irridescent globes...malign in its suggestiveness" ("The Horror in the Musem")." //////// "Ray Milland (1907-1986) was a Welsh actor with an extemely long career, and many of us remember him from The Lost Weekend, in which Milland's harrowing portrayal of an alcoholic writer was probably largely responsible for the ascendence of the cliché "harrowing portrayal" in movie criticism. Milland became a major star in the afermath of The Lost Weekend, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor (also sweeping Cannes, The National Board of Review, and The New York Film Critics circle). After about a decade at the top of the mountain, Milland became a director, and took on more minor roles as well as major roles in minor (in terms of popularity) films. This brings us to the early 60s, when Milland took the lead role in two films by Roger Corman ("R. Corman,"), Premature Burial and The Man With The X-Ray Eyes." ///////// "Peter Van Greenaway (1929-1988) was an English author who wrote thrillers, some of which had elements of horror." //////// "Chorazin was a village in Galillee, cursed by Jesus in the Bible." //////// "In Bram Stoker's Dracula, upon discovering that she has been bitten, Mina Murray exclaims: "Unclean! Unclean! Even the Almighty shuns my polluted flesh!..." //////// "The idea that one can "drink oneself sober" is a persistent myth among drinkers and hence a fairly common phrase... ...It occurs in one of MES's favorite books, Under the Volcano: "Yes, leaning over just like this, drunk but collected, coherent, a little mad, a little impatient - it was one of those occasions when the Consul had drunk himself sober..."" <--- Please refer to Annotated Fall [Spectre vs. Rector] for many more elaborate details.	1:11:33 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Impression Of J. Temperance	Grotesque (After The Gramme)	Rough Trade Records	1980	Again, from Annotated Fall [Impression Of J. Temperance] "A weird tale, but one not hard to get the basic gist of; a dog breeder conducting odd experiments, or, if you like, throwing himself into his work and taking the "breeding" part a bit too literally. In one way or another, he produces a dog/thing which resembles him closely enough that Cameron, the vet, runs from the scene of the birth in terror. On the Legendary Chaos Tape (recorded in December 1980 in London) MES reveals that 'J' stands for "Jermyn" (this is corroborated by leftover liner material for Grotesque). This is an apparent allusion to the early H.P. Lovecraft story "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family," which similarly has a theme of interspecies breeeding; Arthur Jermyn commits suicide when he discovers he is descended from a sort of ape goddess whom an ancestor of Jermyn's, an explorer, met in an African city of white apes. //////// From the Grotesque press release: "'Impression' is the oldest song on the album and was written during the 'Totales Turns' period in a bed and breakfast in Retford miles from anywhere when the locals got suspiciously friendly and there was a huge man-sized one-eyed teddy bear on the landing." /////// [there is a] similarity between this song and the main theme of Rossini's "William Tell Overture"; the bass line follows the rhythm, and a quite similar pattern of notes. Paul Hanley confirms the William Tell Overture debt in his book Have a Bleedin Guess (p.27, footnote 14): The drum pattern's nicked from Gioachino Rossini's William Tell Overture, or more correctly the theme from The Lone Ranger.""	1:19:28 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Lucifer Over Lancashire "Lucifer Over Lancashire" by "The Fall"	Mr. Pharmacist (Single)	Beggar's Banquet	1986	"From the notes reproduced in the blue lyrics book: Companion track 'LUCIFER OVER LANCASHIRE' would not fit onto [Handwritten: "Domesday Payoff"] but it is too good to store. The subject of much debate 'LUCIFER OVER LANCASHIRE' could refer to: A. Recent Commie cloud and complaints of aching bones in the health-conscious Fall camp. [Dan suggests this may be a reference to the April 1986 nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, which puts me in mind of the obvious pun on Domesday/Doomsday--BZFGT] //////// B.

The Fall	Mask Search "Mask Search" by "The Fall"	Ersatz GB	Cherry Red Records	2011	Hallowe'en... Mask Search... That's the connection here, for this later era Rockabilly romp. "According to an article in Financial Times: Another [song] is based on replies to a national survey introduced by David Cameron to find out what makes Britain unhappy. “There were people in Bradford going, ‘You can’t get mushy peas any more.’ ” He hoots with laughter. “Another answer was, ‘Snow Patrol being played on the radio.’ That would annoy me.” He hits the table, delighted by the banality of the responses. He leans forward, suddenly conspiratorial. “My intelligence is vast. You wouldn’t believe what people tell me.”"	1:29:04 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Mark E. Smith / The Fall	Horror In Clay	The Fall Box Set 1976 - 2007	Artful	1998	Originally from 1998 Mark E. Smith solo album "Post-Nearly Man", this song was reissued on this compilation of "The Fall", and featured in some of their sets as a mixture of background tape + live stage performance.	1:31:58 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	It's a Curse "It's a Curse" by "The Fall"	The Infotainment Scan	Matador	1993	The Infotainment Scan is the fifteenth album by The Fall, released in 1993 on Permanent Records in the UK and by Matador Records in the USA (the first of the band's albums to get an official American release since Extricate (1990)). At the time of its release, it was considered the band's most accessible album and came when the band were experiencing unprecedented recognition in the media. It entered the UK Albums Chart at number 9, making it their highest-charting album. IAC is another swipe at nostalgia and even, seemingly, the past itself, in the vein of "A Past Gone Mad" from the same album. The song, one of the highlights of The Infortainment Scan, is sometimes dismissed as lacklustre by those who seemingly can't feel the relentless one-note riff where it needs to be felt. With its poetic victorian language and mention of vampires, it's a Fall'o'ween no brainer!	1:39:04 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	R.O.D. "R.O.D." by "The Fall"	Bend Sinister	Beggar's Banquet	1986	The Realm of Dusk....that misty place when time shifts from day to night...and Lovecraft's monsters come alive to find their prey...possibly inspired by Twlight Zone, a show that MES loved this is perfect creepy Fall and a perfect opening track for a record called Bend Sinister. Bend Sinister was the third and last Fall album to be produced by John Leckie. When recording began, the band was without a drummer, as Karl Burns was fired shortly before sessions began. Ex-member Paul Hanley stepped in at first before permanent replacement Simon Wolstencroft was found. However, Leckie and Mark E. Smith argued during the recording, with Smith complaining that "he'd always swamp everything, y'know, put the psychedelic sounds over it". Leckie, for his part, drew the line at Smith's insistence that some tracks be mastered from a standard audio cassette that Smith had been carrying around and listening to on a Walkman.	1:44:27 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Frightened "Frightened" by "The Fall"	Live At The Witch Trials	Step-Forward	1979	MES: ""Frightened" is quite old actually. I wrote it when I was 16, just a thing I was going through. I used to be very afraid of things, like violence." The opening track of the first of many Fall albums to come..."At the time, the first wave of post-punks were taking Johnny Rotten’s “no future” rant and parsing it like surgeons, laying it bare and reducing it to its components....The Fall were no exception but, where many of their contemporaries used anesthetic and scalpels, they packed switchblades." - Jason Heller	1:49:02 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

	🏝 ♥ 8:15pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @8:14 You encouraged this, you know...
	8:15pm Robm: hi mr fab
	🏝 ♥ 8:15pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Sing! Harpy" by "The Fall" Does this song swipe from Little Doll to tweak Brix for swiping I Wanna Be Your Dog (obliviously, to hear her tell it) on Elves?
	🏝 ♥ 8:15pm Alli B: I always say very scary like Dr. Tongue.
	♥ 8:16pm DJ Babs: I will direct your attention to my fabulous poster for this week I lovingly photoshopped MES’s face on all the monsters lol
	♥ 8:16pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:15 I’ve been howling like count Floyd for the past few days lol
	♥ 8:17pm DJ Babs: MES was such a goth lol
	♥ 8:18pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:15 Funny you mention that UD!
	🏝 ♥ 8:18pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:15 Yes, it does! Gotcha covered! And apparently Brix didn't know I Wanna Be Your Dog at the time she wrote the riff... Haha.
	♥ 8:19pm DJ Babs: I find that hard to believe!
	🏝 ♥ 8:19pm ultradamno: I think bringing in Gavin Friday (to great effect, mind you) represents the zenith of their gothitude
	🏝 ♥ 8:19pm Alli B: Yeah you have! Love you! 😂😂😂
	🏝 ♥ 8:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:19 Ultra, agreed! Gavin is perfect on the tracks he collabs on during that period.
	🏝 ♥ 8:21pm ultradamno: Though no one beats The Cramps for stealing the entire song Tornado by Dale Hawkins and giving it new words and calling it What's Behind The Mask. And we're all the better for it.
	♥ 8:21pm DJ Babs: I think tonight’s show needs some ambient lighting…we didn’t do a pumpkin tho!
	♥ 8:22pm DJ Babs: They do a pumpkin walk in our hood the day after, there’s hundreds of them lit up in the park…it’s awesome!
	♥ 8:23pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:21 Thanks for reminding me I gotta get some cramps in my crate for saturdays dj gig!
	8:23pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:13 down here Halloween is a bit hit and miss....its only the last 15yrs or so Australians have cared about Halloween - mostly driven by commercial interests thinking they can sell more stuff is Aussies get into Halloween. Anyhow, I don't hate it, my kids usually go trick or treating - and its only a small number of houses/streets that participate.
	♥ 8:24pm DJ Babs: Awww yeah I feel like it’s very much a North American cash grab but I’ve always loved dressing up and partying so it’s my night!!!
	♥ 8:25pm DJ Babs: I’m like yeah kids whatever! (Joking of course!)
	8:27pm Robm: ↳ laurapanic @8:23 don’t blame you, i live where i don’t see any trick or treaters and i am fine with that
	🏝 ♥ 8:27pm Alli B: I love Halloween so much
	8:27pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:24 same, I don't mind it at all! there are grinches, but I"m like "Yeh, why not do fun, you gronks"
	8:27pm Feldy: Hiya guys!
	8:28pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @8:27 I don't hand out treats I can't manage that but I go out dressed up and walk around with the kids giving out stuff as I like their costumes. I have a big panda head, and goth frockery. Its random but kids love it.
	🏝 ♥ 8:28pm Alli B: I remember explaining Halloween to my toddler. I said “You get to dress up however you want, ring people’s doorbells, and they give you candy. He looked at me like….the fuck?! Lol! He adored ringing doorbells at the time, and I think liked that bit more than the candy.
	🏝 ♥ 8:29pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Feldy @8:27 Hi Feldy! How are ya?!
	8:29pm laurapanic: ↳ Alli B @8:28 "Never take candy from strangers. Except, like, uh, today. Just today"
	♥ 8:29pm DJ Babs: I hope someday we have a house that’s got kids who come…I would LOVE dressing up and giving out candy!!!
	♥ 8:30pm DJ Babs: I might walk the neighborhood in my costume this year but it is a bit scary lol
	♥ 8:30pm DJ Babs: I might walk the neighborhood in my costume this year but it is a bit scary lol
	8:30pm Robm: ↳ laurapanic @8:29 yeah i hate people who do that to kids, just pisses me off big time
	8:31pm Mr Fab: ↳ DJ Babs @8:29 Oh yeah, we usually get swamped by kids every year. It’s fun seeing all the little monsters and princesses.
	8:33pm Bob Barth: THE BANNISTER'S LUCKY!!! Hey guys!
	🏝 ♥ 8:34pm ultradamno: When they started trying to scare everyone by saying people were giving weed gummies to trickrtreaters, I thought about renting some children to get it on it. But then I realized any neighborhood where people could afford to throw those out like that would kick me out right away.
	🏝 ♥ 8:36pm Tom P: As expected. this is another great show. You can't hear this anywhere else!
	8:36pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:30 you mean your neighborhood is scary?
	8:37pm laurapanic: the song titles are extra extra this week
	🏝 ♥ 8:37pm ultradamno: Brix swiped a Buzzcocks song (Something's Gone Wrong Again) for one of her solo songs I recall the title of right now a few years ago too
	🏝 ♥ 8:39pm ultradamno: It kind of seems like if it sounded nothing like The Stooges by the time they were done with it not everyone would have noticed it.
	🏝 ♥ 8:41pm ultradamno: Stream just die for anyone else?
	♥ 8:41pm DJ Babs: we lost the stream for aboout a second there...can you hear now?
	🏝 ♥ 8:41pm ultradamno: Hit the mothership and back, good now
	8:42pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @8:41 Once I refreshed
	♥ 8:42pm DJ Babs: dayum that was scary! REALLY SCARY hi Bob!!!
	♥ 8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @8:36 we live in an apartment that isn't street facing so it's hard to get kids to the door. Plus our landlady wasn't super into halloween either...
	8:43pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @8:42 Hey Babs & Derek!!
	🏝 ♥ 8:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Bob Barth @8:43 Hey there Bob Barth, what's up on "One Night Stand", next here at 10pm on Sheena's, tonight?
	🏝 ♥ 8:44pm Alli B: It’s so nice to be able to enjoy the show outside on the porch! The temperature is lovely tonight.
	🏝 ♥ 8:45pm Alli B: Killer tune
	🏝 ♥ 8:46pm gsdoubleu: ↳ Alli B @8:44 Yes the mist was in full force earlier too. perfect for tonight's theme
	🏝 ♥ 8:46pm Alli B: Totally!
	♥ 8:47pm DJ Babs: Yeahhhh we need some Halloween mist!!!! We've got a fog machine going here for ambience (I wish)
	♥ 8:47pm DJ Babs: It's going to be 23 degrees in Toronto tomorrow and THAT SHIT IS SCARY
	🏝 ♥ 8:47pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Taurig [Britannia Row Recordings 21/09/07 version... This song is so good! Especially this version of it!
	🏝 ♥ 8:48pm gsdoubleu: ↳ DJ Babs @8:47 so... Lake Simcoe?
	🏝 ♥ 8:48pm Alli B: It actually does this annually, but people forget!
	8:48pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:43 aaah yes. Well have a stroll around out amongst it, that is kinda fun, touring the streets, checking out the decorations and stuff, saying hi to other adults out there.
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:48 It does..as Derek likes to say Summer ISn't Over Yet!
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Babs: OMG lake simcoe I wish! We need a beach day!!!
	🏝 ♥ 8:49pm Alli B: It was so warm in my office today and there was no heat on
	🏝 ♥ 8:49pm Alli B: 24c!
	🏝 ♥ 8:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:49 I only say that in October to people who say "summer is over" in August.
	♥ 8:50pm DJ Babs: Our heat is on and we are dying I fucking ran the AC last night lol
	🏝 ♥ 8:50pm Alli B: That seems completely fair, Derek 😂
	♥ 8:50pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @8:48 I agree! That’s why I wanna walk out on Tuesday!
	🏝 ♥ 8:51pm Alli B: I almost barfed on transit today because they had the heat on blast. So gross. I hate artificial heat so much.
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Babs: This is an alternate version too! Glad you’re enjoying Tom! 🎃
	🏝 ♥ 8:52pm Alli B: I love this so much!
	🏝 ♥ 8:52pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:47 It was 75º here today, which is also kind of scary
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:51 Nooooooo. Transit is barf inducing enough already!
	🏝 ♥ 8:52pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tom P @8:36 Yes, Tom, thank-you so much for the kind words!
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "There's A Ghost In My House - BBC Session" by "Th... Great version of a great song!
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Alli B: Hey there’sa partial lunar eclipse on Saturday night! Owoooooo!
	♥ 8:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:52 Most soulies consider it an abomination lol which makes it even more scary!!!
	♥ 8:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:53 Yaaaaaaaaas
	♥ 8:54pm DJ Babs: Getting that Big Witch Energy flowing!!
	🏝 ♥ 8:54pm Alli B: Purists are difficult at times 😂
	🏝 ♥ 8:55pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:39 Ultra, very good point, haha, re: "It kind of seems like if it sounded nothing like The Stooges by the time they were done with it not everyone would have noticed it."
	🏝 ♥ 8:57pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "C.R.E.E.P." by "The Fall" So nothing to do with Nixon and the plumbers....oh, well.
	9:02pm Bob Barth: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:44 Thanks for asking Derek!! Tonight on the show... LP!!! Playwright Marlow Wyatt and Canada's own... HALF MOON RUN!! All that plus concert coverage on NIGHT RANGER!
	🏝 ♥ 9:02pm ultradamno: A group of shrimp is a troupe or colony
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm ultradamno: I assumed that he was nicknamed Mad Mark, apparently, by locals had something to do with it.
	♥ 9:07pm Kristine: Hi all!
	🏝 ♥ 9:07pm ultradamno: Jawbone, a HEH favorite
	♥ 9:09pm DJ Babs: Kristine!!! Hi!!! HAPPY FALLOWEEN!
	🏝 ♥ 9:09pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:07 Hello there, Kristine! How are you?
	🏝 ♥ 9:09pm Alli B: There’s nothing The Fall can’t do
	♥ 9:09pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:02 Colony makes sense because they are SEA BUGS
	🏝 ♥ 9:10pm ultradamno: Did you know pill bugs are crustaceans?
	♥ 9:10pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @9:09 I think MES would be out off by all the posthumous love but would secretly enjoy it lol
	🏝 ♥ 9:10pm ultradamno: ...so land shrimp, I guess
	🏝 ♥ 9:10pm Alli B: I didn’t know that, but it makes sense
	♥ 9:11pm DJ Babs: That’s why I avoid the crustaceans and whatnot. Crabs scare the living bejesus outta me
	🏝 ♥ 9:11pm northguineahills: can't imagine what you hosers are playing today! 😉
	♥ 9:12pm Kristine: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:09 hey derek, thanks i am good. The fall is perfect right now, feel like being in a sneering mood.
	🏝 ♥ 9:12pm Tom P: ↳ ultradamno @9:10 I did! Pill bugs, woodlice and all crustaceans are extremely cool!
	♥ 9:12pm DJ Babs: Except these guys youtu.be...
	♥ 9:13pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:09 Hey Babs-ah! Mark Goth=MOTH!
	🏝 ♥ 9:13pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @8:54 the moon is gibbous waxing (90%)
	♥ 9:14pm DJ Babs: Hello NGH! I love me a good gibbous waxing lol
	🏝 ♥ 9:14pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:13 Hello there, NGH, lovely to see you & thank-you for the moonnews!
	♥ 9:14pm Kristine: Derek, how have you gotten away by playing only Fall for the last 75 minutes?? awesome
	🏝 ♥ 9:14pm Tom P: ↳ northguineahills @9:13 Hi NGH! Enjoying the top notch music, people and comments on this show!
	♥ 9:15pm DJ Babs: 75 minutes! We’ve done 8 hours this month LOL
	♥ 9:16pm DJ Babs: I will say we are backlogged now by a month of all kinds of new and awesome musical discoveries!
	♥ 9:17pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:12 I admit I very much enjoyed my walk out today with the colourful leaves popping on the grey skies
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:11 <jarvis cocker on>so you don't wanna live like crab people and don't wanna do what crab people do? </jarvis cocker off>
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Tom P @9:14 Tom!
	🏝 ♥ 9:18pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:14 Mr. Fab, the station manager joked in the chatroom several shows ago that we should play The Fall all Autumn long. We decided to accept the challenge for the month of October only. It's our "Hellraiser" special programming for the October "quiet" fundraiser season. WFMU likes special programming at this time, so boy did we find some, haha....
	♥ 9:18pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:17 I would also accept crabs in Jarvis cocker form
	🏝 ♥ 9:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:14 although might luna otherwise, i'm not a moonie.....(remember them?)
	9:20pm Mr Fab: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:18 With an enormous discography like The Fall, it really needed to be done.
	♥ 9:21pm DJ Babs: It’s true! Dunno if we will do it every year buuuuuuut who knows!?!?
	♥ 9:22pm DJ Babs: I’m glad we were goaded into it!
	🏝 ♥ 9:22pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Impression Of J. Temperance" by "The Fall" This album seemed like a stumbling block with The Fall for a lot of people at the time, maybe even more than Room To Live...the homemade quality, the toasting structure. It's a top five one for me.
	🏝 ♥ 9:22pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:18 who wouldn't?!!!
	♥ 9:23pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 I find that the most difficult listenings tend to be the most rewarding!
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 isn't the toasting structure mark's trademark? (i mean, it's one of many reasons I've dug the fall since i discovered them)
	♥ 9:26pm DJ Babs: Toasting…stream of conscious…exclamatory (declaratory?)
	🏝 ♥ 9:27pm ultradamno: ↳ northguineahills @9:24 It certainly existed to varying degrees, but I don't think there are more aggressive or just plain wordy examples than much of Grotesque.
	🏝 ♥ 9:27pm ultradamno: The kazoo might have bothered some people too.
	♥ 9:28pm Kristine: liking this fall track..never heard it
	♥ 9:28pm DJ Babs: Shrieks, grumbles, wet lunged growls..yelps…he does it all
	♥ 9:28pm DJ Babs: The kazoo was made to annoy people, lol
	🏝 ♥ 9:28pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:28 Oh, Lucifer Over Lancashire is a classic! I love this song!
	9:28pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @9:16 yesssssssssssss
	9:29pm laurapanic: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:18 its been fucking perfect
	🏝 ♥ 9:30pm Tom P: The Fall make me smile even when covering Doomsday! Was happy to pick up The Infotainment Scan at the WFMU record fair recently
	9:31pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 someone here must have told me Room to Live was good, as it is now my go to Fall listen...I'm influenced by you lot here!
	♥ 9:32pm Kristine: still havent smiled. feel like i have a permafrown on. somehow when ppl put you in a bad mood it sticks.
	🏝 ♥ 9:33pm ultradamno: It had a real bad reputation for a long time...but it's hard not to sing along to Marquis Cha Cha
	9:33pm Bob Barth: ↳ Kristine @9:32 When my wife is having one of those days I whisper in her ear "boobies" - works every time
	♥ 9:34pm Kristine: ↳ Bob Barth @9:33 ha! thats funny
	🏝 ♥ 9:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Kristine @9:32 well, you've come to right place, we're all here for each other. hope you feel better, sending positive vibes your way!
	9:34pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @9:33 I love when that track comes on!!!
	9:35pm Bob Barth: ↳ Kristine @9:34 hope it helps
	♥ 9:35pm Kristine: ↳ northguineahills @9:34 thank you, thats kind.
	♥ 9:36pm Kristine: Derek, I just laughed!!!! 'cant get mushy peas anymore'. bland but loved i guess?
	🏝 ♥ 9:37pm ultradamno: I remember having some hope for Martha Wainwright until she worked with Snow Patrol
	🏝 ♥ 9:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Kristine @9:36 now i want mushy peas...(i might be hungry)
	9:39pm Bob Barth: ↳ northguineahills @9:38 or pregnant
	♥ 9:39pm Kristine: ↳ northguineahills @9:38 but wheres the flavour? did i miss something? peas with butter?
	♥ 9:40pm Kristine: "who is that interesting hack over there?" LOL
	🏝 ♥ 9:40pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:36 Kristine, awesome that stories of mushy pea complaining helped bring joy... bland but loved, haha.
	🏝 ♥ 9:40pm ultradamno: Yea. Verily.
	🏝 ♥ 9:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Bob Barth @9:39 i just ate a whole jar of kimchi! don't judge me!
	♥ 9:40pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tom P @9:30 Oh man I feel like I’d lose my mind (and my wallet!) at the WFMU record fair!
	🏝 ♥ 9:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Kristine @9:39 from my experience in the uk, butter is a luxury w/ mushy peas...
	♥ 9:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:36 Yaaas we got a laugh!
	♥ 9:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:41 Butter makes everything better. Goddamn I love butter
	🏝 ♥ 9:42pm ultradamno: Are we really putting flavor and UK cuisine in the same sentence?
	♥ 9:42pm DJ Babs: I only allow it in the house for thanksgiving and Christmas
	🏝 ♥ 9:42pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:40 the last one i went to (2015), my former partner had agency over my wallet, b/c yes, I would have blown through my savings at the record fair.
	♥ 9:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:42 I admit I love me a good Yorkshire pudding
	♥ 9:43pm Kristine: ↳ northguineahills @9:40 LOL. i could do the same. like kimchi a lot.
	♥ 9:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 Ex Partners are good for fun ruining
	♥ 9:44pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:40 yeah i would have loved to go to the one in new york!
	♥ 9:45pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:43 i laughed when i realized yorkshire pudding is just a biscuit!
	🏝 ♥ 9:45pm ultradamno: Hey, I just noticed Kitten's show is archived...I guess rumors of the archiver's death were slightly exaggerated
	♥ 9:46pm Kristine: i have been using a lot of butter lately. baking the last few months. Did you know that even apple crumble calls for a lot of butter?
	♥ 9:47pm Kristine: i always joke with wes that he needs to give me his wallet when we get near the games stores (which he ALWAYS finds, in every hick town in southern ontario)
	♥ 9:47pm DJ Babs: Oh yeah, gotta have butter for your streusel
	🏝 ♥ 9:47pm ultradamno: It's a staple. I remember a TV show called Quarry where the lead character put butter in coffee. I tried it. It's unexceptional.
	♥ 9:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:47 Games can be crazy expensive! There’s a new TTR coming I got my eye on!
	🏝 ♥ 9:48pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:43 it was verboten for me to step foot in a brick and mortar record stores from 2010 on (I had three walls of our apartment full of records). my loophole, wfmu marathons and live shows...
	🏝 ♥ 9:48pm Scott_Oz: G'day Babs, Derek & Beachers! Home just in time to say thanks in advance for the Archive I will enjoy later. Been to my Mum & Dad's for a smashed avo on toast brunch. 🌏🌞🥑🍞🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻
	♥ 9:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:47 I agree isn’t butter a big part of bullet coffee?
	♥ 9:49pm DJ Babs: Scott we were missing ya bro!
	🏝 ♥ 9:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:48 sssscccccooootttttt!!!!!

	🏝 ♥ 9:49pm Tom P: It was my first record fair. Was able to pick up some great cheapies, Still haven;t listened to them all. Not tempted at all by the $2,000 colored vinyl copy of Santana's Moonflower. @Kristine - Yorkshire pudding is more like a dumpling. Good with roast beef!

The Fall	Pumpkin Soup & Mashed Potatoes	The Unutterable	Eagle Records	2000	The Fall happily hack their way through light jazz in the most off-kilter, absurd way. From Annotated Fall: "This song, which is kind of a novelty for the Fall, is done in a lounge jazz style." -- Lyrics: "Parmesan carrots with mushrooms / Frankly that I've never been keen / It's pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / That's for my Hallowe'en tea / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / That has always been my dream / / Physicians moan about the guarantees of vegetables / But to be frank what I'm keen on is that same old scene / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / That is my Hallowe'en tea / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / That's why I'm always keen / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / They'll keep me clean / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / / I'm old, not much, but I'm going mad / Because of the starvation that I've had / Clouds rush by / But I always have my dream / / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes / That is my hallowe'en tea / Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes"	0:00:00 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Fall	Pumpkinhead Xscapes "Pumpkinhead Xscapes" by "The Fall"	Ed's Babe (Single) / Code Selfish [Expanded]	Phonogram / Mercury Records	1992 / 2007	This song is often stuck in my head, there's a vocal part in that it annoys the hell out of me. Unfortunately, it's the part that's stuck in my head. Even more weirdly, I sort of like it, too.

Music behind DJ: The Fall	Pumpkinhead Escapes "Pumpkinhead Escapes" by "The Fall"	Sinister Waltz	Receiver Records Limited	1996	A remixed instrumental version from one of the mid-90's era "Receiver Records" rarities+live compilations. (A series of releases oft-maligned due to quality and quantity concerns... The floodgates burst open regarding the reissue scene for the Fall in the 90's) I very much enjoy this.

The Fall	Wolf Kidult Man "Wolf Kidult Man" by "The Fall"	Imperial Wax Solvent [Expanded]	Cherry Red Records	2008	An excellent opening for an excellent song. The first album from the last regular lineup of The Fall, the most stable lineup in the band's history, withstanding 10 uninterrupted years of consecutive Fall service. "Recorded at Mouse On Mars' St. Martin Ton Studio, Duesseldorf, May-June 2007 and Gracielands Studio, Rochdale late 2007. / There are some quite noticeable edits, particularly in track 5, that may sound like mastering faults - they are intentional." Pedantic fact: Released a full 18 years prior to "Extricate!", this would be the second album to feature artwork from Anthony Frost; the two albums sharing a very similar style, look & palette. Unusual, for Fall albums, to have two such strikingly similar covers by the same artist, so many years apart.	0:08:28 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Sing! Harpy "Sing! Harpy" by "The Fall"	Extricate	Phonogram	1990	"In Greek and Roman mythology, a harpy (plural harpies, Ancient Greek: ἅρπυια, romanized: hárpyia, pronounced [hárpyːa]; Latin: harpȳia is a half-human and half-bird personification of storm winds. They feature in Homeric poems. Harpies were generally depicted as birds with the heads of maidens, faces pale with hunger and long claws on their hands. Roman and Byzantine writers detailed their ugliness. Pottery art depicting the harpies featured beautiful women with wings. Ovid described them as human-vultures. //// To Hesiod, they were imagined as fair-locked and winged maidens, who flew as fast as the wind: [T]he Harpyiai (Harpies) of the lovely hair, Okypete (Ocypete) and Aello, and these two in the speed of their wings keep pace with the blowing winds, or birds in flight, as they soar and swoop, high aloft. //// Aeschylus - Even as early as the time of Aeschylus, harpies were described as ugly creatures with wings, and later writers carried their notions of the harpies so far as to represent them as most disgusting monsters. The Pythian priestess of Apollo recounted the appearance of the harpies in the following lines: Before this man an extraordinary band of women [i.e. harpies] slept, seated on thrones. No! Not women, but rather Gorgons I call them; and yet I cannot compare them to forms of Gorgons either. Once before I saw some creatures in a painting, carrying off the feast of Phineus; but these are wingless in appearance, black, altogether disgusting; they snore with repulsive breaths, they drip from their eyes hateful drops; their attire is not fit to bring either before the statues of the gods or into the homes of men. I have never seen the tribe that produced this company, nor the land that boasts of rearing this brood with impunity and does not grieve for its labor afterwards. //// Virgil - Bird-bodied, girl-faced things they (Harpies) are; abominable their droppings, their hands are talons, their faces haggard with hunger insatiable //// Hyginus - They are said to have been feathered, with cocks' heads, wings, and human arms, with great claws; breasts, bellies, and female parts human. //// Functions and abodes: Mirror with figure of a Harpy, 11–12th century CE, Termez, Uzbekistan. The harpies seem originally to have been wind spirits (personifications of the destructive nature of wind). Their name means 'snatchers' or 'swift robbers', and they were said to steal food from their victims while they were eating and carry evildoers (especially those who have killed their families) to the Erinyes. When a person suddenly disappeared from the Earth, it was said that he had been carried off by the harpies. Thus, they carried off the daughters of King Pandareus and gave them as servants to the Erinyes. In this form they were agents of punishment who abducted people and tortured them on their way to Tartarus. They were depicted as vicious, cruel, and violent. The harpies were called "the hounds of mighty Zeus" thus "ministers of the Thunderer (Zeus)". Later writers listed the harpies among the guardians of the underworld among other monstrosities including the Centaurs, Scylla, Briareus, Lernaean Hydra, Chimera, Gorgons and Geryon. Their abode was described as either the islands called Strofades, a place at the entrance of Orcus, or a cave in Crete."	0:11:40 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Elf Prefix "Elf Prefix" by "The Fall"	Seminal Live	Beggar's Banquet	1989	On the album this is grafted as an intro onto the live version of L.A.

The Fall	Elves "Elves" by "The Fall"	The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall	Beggar's Banquet	1984	Notes from Annotated Fall [Elves]. This cops the riff from The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog." According to Brix and Hanley (via Reformation): Quotes from the booklet accompanying The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall (re-release of the album by Beggars Banquet, 2010): Brix Smith "Elves was mine. I think it was I Wanna Be Your Dog, of which at the time I was truly unaware. I must have heard it and not even realised what I had done. Until later, and at which time I went to dig a hole in the dirt!" Steve Hanley: "This is I Wanna Be Your Dog...what we used to do is try to hide that kind of thing...and make it your own. But by the time we finished with Elves it sounded nothing like The Stooges." //////// MES also says that Brix had never heard the song at the time. //////// Embarrassing or not, the Stooges' riff makes a return on the Peel rendition of "Clasp Hands," and can be heard in a somewhat altered form in "Rememberance R." //////// The CD notes for this song say "a Tubby commotion at the feet" Lloyd "brain and face made of cow-pat" Cole?, not scotch but scot-based"	0:17:52 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	City Hobgoblins "City Hobgoblins" by "The Fall"	How I Wrote Elastic Man 7"	Rough Trade	1980	"MES in Tapezine self-interview, 1980: "...City Hobgoblins which was originally called Case for the Jews, not that that's got anything to do with the song...it's good. It's a paean to paranoia number 1097. We've got a new drummer on it called Paul Hanley...can't be here at the moment because he's got school." "The Case for the Jews" is the name of a 1930 essay by Louis Judah Gribetz, and also a 1948 essay by WEB DuBois" //// Lyrics: "Spiders know these things / Gremlins know these things / Tap, tap, tap, tap / You think it's the pipes / But who turns on the lights? / Our city hobgoblins / Our city hobgoblins / Ubu le Roi is a home hobgoblin / And at nights all ready / Our city hobgoblins / Our city hobgoblins / Infest my home at night / They are not alright / Ten times my age / One-tenth my height / Our city hobgoblins / Our city hobgoblins / Buzz of the all-night mill / Ah but evil / Emigres from old green glades / Pretentious, eh? / Our city hobgoblins / Our city hobgoblins / They'll get yer / So Queen Victoria / Is a large black slug in Piccadilly, Manchester / Our city hobgoblins / Our city hobgoblins / And they say / We cannot walk the floor at night in peace / At night in peace"	0:22:37 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Fibre Book Troll "Fibre Book Troll" by "The Fall"	Sub-Lingual Tablet	Cherry Red Records	2015	Alternately called Facebook Troll (there are different versions of the song, including an extended vinyl-only one [under this title] that is twice the length.) "MES has said that this song is about how he "can't get anyone to get rid of my imposters in the internet." In fact, there is a Facebook page under the name "Mark E. Smith," but the account holder doesn't post as MES; this actually seems quite common with famous people, for instance Jimi Hendrix has a Facebook page, but it doesn't seem that the intention is to bamboozle people into thinking he's communicating from beyond the grave. There is a Twitter page under MES's name which does purport to be the man himself, although it seems clear to anyone paying a modicum of attention that it's a spoof (which hasn't stopped certain journalists from occasionally quoting "Mark E. Smith"!)."	0:25:01 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Fall	Fiend with a Violin - Vox	Fiend With A Violin	Receiver Records Limited	1996	Fall fans familiar w/ "2x4" will identify this as an outtake / alternate. The expanded/deluxe archive version of "The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall" has some alternate versions of "2x4" that are titled "New Fiend". The song references a fiend. As for the comp. this appears on; the Receiver Records compilations that were released in the mid-90's are generally agreed to be of dubious quality, but they did indeed contain many rarities and curiosities, otherwise unavailable in times previous or henceforth.	0:31:00 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Fall	Fiend with a Violin "Fiend with a Violin" by "The Fall"	Fiend With A Violin	Receiver Records Limited	1996	The instrumental version of "Fiend with a Violin" -- From the liner notes of the comp: "The title track "Fiend With A Violin" which has never been heard before pushes the envelope of creativity to the extreme and finds Mark E. Smith in the usual role of violin player." Two notes: 1) Though M.E.S. scraped violin strings discordantly on quite a few tracks, it was never his 'usual' role. 2.) I, personally, very much doubt the player on this track is Mark E. Smith at all.	0:32:23 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Fall	Sinister Waltz "Sinister Waltz" by "The Fall"	Shiftwork	Phonogram	1991	The instrumental, moody (monotonous?) closing track of 1991's stripped-down Shiftwork album. The band had been stripped down to just 4 core members at that time, w/ Dave Bush playing "Machines" on some tracks. He would later become an official member of the band from '92-'95, then go on to join Elastica for their second (and final) album.	0:35:21 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	(We Are) Mod Mock Goth "(We Are) Mod Mock Goth" by "The Fall"	(We Wish You) A Protein Christmas	Action Records	2003	Fall superfans and "experts" say that the Mod Mock Goth was an actual person...Mod Mock Goth is not about Ed Blaney. It's about a young hot-shot talent agent based in London who briefly took over managing the group while Ed was out of the picture for a bit. The Mod Mock Goth during his tenure came very close to signing the Fall to Mute/EMI along with a lucrative publishing deal for the Country On The Click album - both sabotaged by MES. Mod goth is apparently a subset of goth, which incorporates elements of mod (short for "modernist," a term that is in this context derived from the jazz scene and is the term complement to "trad" or traditional jazz). Mod started in Britain in the late 1950s and was, like goth, a very fashion-conscious scene, involving bespoke suits and attention to hair, although mod styles are generally more mainstream than those associated with goth. The mod goth look, it seems, involves putting a darker (both literally and figuratively) and somewhat more outré emphasis on mod-style clothing. The character(s) in this song seems to be a bit older and more slovenly than your average conscientious mod goth, but of course the "mock" must also be taken in to account. In fact, the phrase "mock goth" isn't MES's creation either, as the term seems to have been used, predating this song, to describe poseur goths.	0:40:33 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Taurig [Britannia Row Recordings 21/09/07 version]	Imperial Wax Solvent (Expanded Version) - Disc 2: Britannia Row Recordings 21/09/07	Sanctuary	2008 / 2020	There are two versions of this, it has come to light. The original version on the original 2008 album; has (intentionally) lyrics so low in the mix that only fragments can be heard. In 2020 an expanded edition was released, featuring mixes from the Britannia Row Sep 21, 2007 Recordings. This is the version of this song there where vocals are very much up front, from both Mark E. Smith & also Eleni Poulou. As mentioned before, In old Germany, old Dutch, and old Norse, word "traurig" means bloody, sad or gloomy. And this track is indeed rather gloomy and unsettling!	0:45:17 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Scareball "Scareball" by "The Fall"	Masquerade Single	Artful	1998	Lyrically, MES is very cryptic on this one. His text is particularly fragmented, too. After some initial "Bah bah"s, which seem to hold no recognisable tune or have any other relevance to the song ("No different to any other Fall song!", I hear you cry), he encompasses rabbits, handkerchiefs, Chinese business practices and shrimps into his narrative. And no, I have no idea what he's going on about. Julia Nagle provides some vocals on this, and it's driven along by Karl Burns' high hat. The musical concision of a three-piece Fall (with Julia on guitar), and a remarkable measure of restaint from Hanley, makes this a pretty enjoyable (but still creepy) three minutes.	0:48:19 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	There's A Ghost In My House - BBC Session	The Frenz Experiment [Expanded Edition]	Beggar's Banquet	2020	A BBC session for Janice Young yields this excellent version of GIMH. Originally penned by R Dean Taylor and Holland Dozier Holland....It was released as a single on the Motown subsidiary V.I.P. label in April 1967, but was not a hit. However, after it had become a popular dance song in Northern soul clubs in Britain, such as the Blackpool Mecca and Wigan Casino. True Northern Soulies are often put off by this version of their beloved song (the horror! the horror!) but MES does a great job of capturing the original vibe.	0:51:14 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	C.R.E.E.P. "C.R.E.E.P." by "The Fall"	C.R.E.E.P.			It has often been assumed that this song is about Marc Riley, who apparently was nicknamed "creep" as a youth. RIley himself has stated that the song is about him. Both Mark and Brix Smith, however, deny this. 'I'm so proud of that song. I didn't see it as pure pop because it hasn't been accepted like that. It's got good words in it and that throws people off - their brains are so degenerate now, that if they hear something they don't understand ... they just drop it. I always thought it would appeal to children and it does. A lot of very young kids (seven or eight) seem to like it. I never thought, though, that the creep was the guy who smelt bad at school; it was always the most popular guy in the class, 'cos you knew damn well he wouldn't do well in life, the sort who'd cry when the exam results came out.' Brix:- "Everyone always thinks that Fall songs are about themselves and that was especially so with "Creep." Some people thought it was about Morrisey which it wasn't. Marc Riley, our old guitarist, thought it was about him, which it wasn't. It's about every creep in the world.'" In her autobiography, she comes clean with this admission: 'Everyone assumed it was about Marc Riley, but Mark's lyrics were a takedown of the previous tour manager, Scumech ("He is a scum-egg, a horrid trendy wretch").'" He was a trendy and Mark referred to him as a 'dickhead'. For some reason, Mark took great offence at Scumech. Perhaps it was because he would keep the tour money in his briefcase and handcuff it to radiators. He was robotic, which also annoyed Mark, He had the facade of being hip, but was actually quite bureaucratic, in a German way."	0:54:22 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

The Fall	Jawbone And The Air-Rifle	Hex Enduction Hour	Kamera Records	1982	Now we enter deep into Fall dense narrative / horror story territory. This song presented itself fully formed in sets from 1980 onwards, it did not find its way to an album or single for two years, but was not reworked from the original. (A rarity for a long standing 'road tested' Fall song.) //// --- Many detailed notes & full lyrics on the song here, as always, at: Annotated Fall: [Jawbone And The Air-Rifle], including this tidbit: "Paul Hanley's "Have a Bleedin Guess" book quotes Marc Riley (125): Mark said to Craig that he wanted something like 'Run Rabbit Run' to fit his lyrics. We wrote it in my bedroom. "Run Rabbit Run" is a song by Flanagan and Allen from the World War II era. The melody can be discerned in the riff here."	1:07:55 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Spectre vs. Rector "Spectre vs. Rector" by "The Fall"	Dragnet	Step-Forward	1979	"From the "Dragnet" handout/insert of song explanations: Part of this was recorded in a damp warehouse in M/CR-maybe industrial ghosts are making spectres redundant." //////// From the comments section of this excellent AV Club article about this song , user 'Yoga Fire' asks: "Is this the song with the bassline that goes "DERM. DERM. DERM. DERM. DERM. DERM. DERM. DER-BA-DER-BA" for 7 minutes? That's the shit.", then responds to own question: "I checked, and it is. Oh fuck yeah" //////// This is a dense, rich epic, the first half recorded in a factory, sounding intentionally distant, echoey and submerged. There are too many lyrics & interpretations therein to mention here, but of lyric influences and references within the song: "M.R. (Montague Rhodes) James (1862-1936) was an influential author of ghost stories."//////// ""The Haunted Palace - directed by R Corman, is an adaptation of HP Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward story. In it, Vincent Price is trying to bring his old mistress back from the dead by using a Latinate incantation which concludes with a repeated 'vivat...vivat.'"? //////// "Yog Sothoth, in the Cthulhu Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), is an "Outer God" who appears as "a congeries of irridescent globes...malign in its suggestiveness" ("The Horror in the Musem")." //////// "Ray Milland (1907-1986) was a Welsh actor with an extemely long career, and many of us remember him from The Lost Weekend, in which Milland's harrowing portrayal of an alcoholic writer was probably largely responsible for the ascendence of the cliché "harrowing portrayal" in movie criticism. Milland became a major star in the afermath of The Lost Weekend, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor (also sweeping Cannes, The National Board of Review, and The New York Film Critics circle). After about a decade at the top of the mountain, Milland became a director, and took on more minor roles as well as major roles in minor (in terms of popularity) films. This brings us to the early 60s, when Milland took the lead role in two films by Roger Corman ("R. Corman,"), Premature Burial and The Man With The X-Ray Eyes." ///////// "Peter Van Greenaway (1929-1988) was an English author who wrote thrillers, some of which had elements of horror." //////// "Chorazin was a village in Galillee, cursed by Jesus in the Bible." //////// "In Bram Stoker's Dracula, upon discovering that she has been bitten, Mina Murray exclaims: "Unclean! Unclean! Even the Almighty shuns my polluted flesh!..." //////// "The idea that one can "drink oneself sober" is a persistent myth among drinkers and hence a fairly common phrase... ...It occurs in one of MES's favorite books, Under the Volcano: "Yes, leaning over just like this, drunk but collected, coherent, a little mad, a little impatient - it was one of those occasions when the Consul had drunk himself sober..."" <--- Please refer to Annotated Fall [Spectre vs. Rector] for many more elaborate details.	1:11:33 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Impression Of J. Temperance	Grotesque (After The Gramme)	Rough Trade Records	1980	Again, from Annotated Fall [Impression Of J. Temperance] "A weird tale, but one not hard to get the basic gist of; a dog breeder conducting odd experiments, or, if you like, throwing himself into his work and taking the "breeding" part a bit too literally. In one way or another, he produces a dog/thing which resembles him closely enough that Cameron, the vet, runs from the scene of the birth in terror. On the Legendary Chaos Tape (recorded in December 1980 in London) MES reveals that 'J' stands for "Jermyn" (this is corroborated by leftover liner material for Grotesque). This is an apparent allusion to the early H.P. Lovecraft story "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family," which similarly has a theme of interspecies breeeding; Arthur Jermyn commits suicide when he discovers he is descended from a sort of ape goddess whom an ancestor of Jermyn's, an explorer, met in an African city of white apes. //////// From the Grotesque press release: "'Impression' is the oldest song on the album and was written during the 'Totales Turns' period in a bed and breakfast in Retford miles from anywhere when the locals got suspiciously friendly and there was a huge man-sized one-eyed teddy bear on the landing." /////// [there is a] similarity between this song and the main theme of Rossini's "William Tell Overture"; the bass line follows the rhythm, and a quite similar pattern of notes. Paul Hanley confirms the William Tell Overture debt in his book Have a Bleedin Guess (p.27, footnote 14): The drum pattern's nicked from Gioachino Rossini's William Tell Overture, or more correctly the theme from The Lone Ranger.""	1:19:28 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

The Fall	Mask Search "Mask Search" by "The Fall"	Ersatz GB	Cherry Red Records	2011	Hallowe'en... Mask Search... That's the connection here, for this later era Rockabilly romp. "According to an article in Financial Times: Another [song] is based on replies to a national survey introduced by David Cameron to find out what makes Britain unhappy. “There were people in Bradford going, ‘You can’t get mushy peas any more.’ ” He hoots with laughter. “Another answer was, ‘Snow Patrol being played on the radio.’ That would annoy me.” He hits the table, delighted by the banality of the responses.

The Fall	It's a Curse "It's a Curse" by "The Fall"	The Infotainment Scan	Matador	1993	The Infotainment Scan is the fifteenth album by The Fall, released in 1993 on Permanent Records in the UK and by Matador Records in the USA (the first of the band's albums to get an official American release since Extricate (1990)). At the time of its release, it was considered the band's most accessible album and came when the band were experiencing unprecedented recognition in the media. It entered the UK Albums Chart at number 9, making it their highest-charting album. IAC is another swipe at nostalgia and even, seemingly, the past itself, in the vein of "A Past Gone Mad" from the same album. The song, one of the highlights of The Infortainment Scan, is sometimes dismissed as lacklustre by those who seemingly can't feel the relentless one-note riff where it needs to be felt. With its poetic victorian language and mention of vampires, it's a Fall'o'ween no brainer!	1:39:04 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	R.O.D. "R.O.D." by "The Fall"	Bend Sinister	Beggar's Banquet	1986	The Realm of Dusk....that misty place when time shifts from day to night...and Lovecraft's monsters come alive to find their prey...possibly inspired by Twlight Zone, a show that MES loved this is perfect creepy Fall and a perfect opening track for a record called Bend Sinister. Bend Sinister was the third and last Fall album to be produced by John Leckie. When recording began, the band was without a drummer, as Karl Burns was fired shortly before sessions began. Ex-member Paul Hanley stepped in at first before permanent replacement Simon Wolstencroft was found. However, Leckie and Mark E. Smith argued during the recording, with Smith complaining that "he'd always swamp everything, y'know, put the psychedelic sounds over it". Leckie, for his part, drew the line at Smith's insistence that some tracks be mastered from a standard audio cassette that Smith had been carrying around and listening to on a Walkman.	1:44:27 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	Frightened "Frightened" by "The Fall"	Live At The Witch Trials	Step-Forward	1979	MES: ""Frightened" is quite old actually. I wrote it when I was 16, just a thing I was going through. I used to be very afraid of things, like violence." The opening track of the first of many Fall albums to come..."At the time, the first wave of post-punks were taking Johnny Rotten’s “no future” rant and parsing it like surgeons, laying it bare and reducing it to its components....The Fall were no exception but, where many of their contemporaries used anesthetic and scalpels, they packed switchblades." - Jason Heller	1:49:02 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

	♥ 8:14pm DJ Babs: So scary! Hi Alli!! ❤️
	🏝 ♥ 8:14pm Derek Westerholm: Hello there Tom P, Robm, Laurapanic, Ultra, GSdub, Alli, hello hello hello!!!
	8:14pm Mr Fab: Hallo(ween), all.
	♥ 8:15pm DJ Babs: Help Mr Fab!!!
	8:15pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:12 yes it is babs very much so hi derek
	🏝 ♥ 8:15pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @8:14 Hello Mr. Fab!
	🏝 ♥ 8:15pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @8:14 You encouraged this, you know...
	8:15pm Robm: hi mr fab
	🏝 ♥ 8:15pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Sing! Harpy" by "The Fall" Does this song swipe from Little Doll to tweak Brix for swiping I Wanna Be Your Dog (obliviously, to hear her tell it) on Elves?
	🏝 ♥ 8:15pm Alli B: I always say very scary like Dr. Tongue.
	♥ 8:16pm DJ Babs: I will direct your attention to my fabulous poster for this week I lovingly photoshopped MES’s face on all the monsters lol
	♥ 8:16pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:15 I’ve been howling like count Floyd for the past few days lol
	♥ 8:17pm DJ Babs: MES was such a goth lol
	♥ 8:18pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:15 Funny you mention that UD!
	🏝 ♥ 8:18pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:15 Yes, it does! Gotcha covered! And apparently Brix didn't know I Wanna Be Your Dog at the time she wrote the riff... Haha.
	♥ 8:19pm DJ Babs: I find that hard to believe!
	🏝 ♥ 8:19pm ultradamno: I think bringing in Gavin Friday (to great effect, mind you) represents the zenith of their gothitude
	🏝 ♥ 8:19pm Alli B: Yeah you have! Love you! 😂😂😂
	🏝 ♥ 8:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:19 Ultra, agreed! Gavin is perfect on the tracks he collabs on during that period.
	🏝 ♥ 8:21pm ultradamno: Though no one beats The Cramps for stealing the entire song Tornado by Dale Hawkins and giving it new words and calling it What's Behind The Mask. And we're all the better for it.
	♥ 8:21pm DJ Babs: I think tonight’s show needs some ambient lighting…we didn’t do a pumpkin tho!
	♥ 8:22pm DJ Babs: They do a pumpkin walk in our hood the day after, there’s hundreds of them lit up in the park…it’s awesome!
	♥ 8:23pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:21 Thanks for reminding me I gotta get some cramps in my crate for saturdays dj gig!
	8:23pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:13 down here Halloween is a bit hit and miss....its only the last 15yrs or so Australians have cared about Halloween - mostly driven by commercial interests thinking they can sell more stuff is Aussies get into Halloween. Anyhow, I don't hate it, my kids usually go trick or treating - and its only a small number of houses/streets that participate.
	♥ 8:24pm DJ Babs: Awww yeah I feel like it’s very much a North American cash grab but I’ve always loved dressing up and partying so it’s my night!!!
	♥ 8:25pm DJ Babs: I’m like yeah kids whatever! (Joking of course!)
	8:27pm Robm: ↳ laurapanic @8:23 don’t blame you, i live where i don’t see any trick or treaters and i am fine with that
	🏝 ♥ 8:27pm Alli B: I love Halloween so much
	8:27pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:24 same, I don't mind it at all! there are grinches, but I"m like "Yeh, why not do fun, you gronks"
	8:27pm Feldy: Hiya guys!
	8:28pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @8:27 I don't hand out treats I can't manage that but I go out dressed up and walk around with the kids giving out stuff as I like their costumes. I have a big panda head, and goth frockery. Its random but kids love it.
	🏝 ♥ 8:28pm Alli B: I remember explaining Halloween to my toddler. I said “You get to dress up however you want, ring people’s doorbells, and they give you candy. He looked at me like….the fuck?! Lol! He adored ringing doorbells at the time, and I think liked that bit more than the candy.
	🏝 ♥ 8:29pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Feldy @8:27 Hi Feldy! How are ya?!
	8:29pm laurapanic: ↳ Alli B @8:28 "Never take candy from strangers. Except, like, uh, today. Just today"
	♥ 8:29pm DJ Babs: I hope someday we have a house that’s got kids who come…I would LOVE dressing up and giving out candy!!!
	♥ 8:30pm DJ Babs: I might walk the neighborhood in my costume this year but it is a bit scary lol
	♥ 8:30pm DJ Babs: I might walk the neighborhood in my costume this year but it is a bit scary lol
	8:30pm Robm: ↳ laurapanic @8:29 yeah i hate people who do that to kids, just pisses me off big time
	8:31pm Mr Fab: ↳ DJ Babs @8:29 Oh yeah, we usually get swamped by kids every year. It’s fun seeing all the little monsters and princesses.
	8:33pm Bob Barth: THE BANNISTER'S LUCKY!!! Hey guys!
	🏝 ♥ 8:34pm ultradamno: When they started trying to scare everyone by saying people were giving weed gummies to trickrtreaters, I thought about renting some children to get it on it. But then I realized any neighborhood where people could afford to throw those out like that would kick me out right away.
	🏝 ♥ 8:36pm Tom P: As expected. this is another great show. You can't hear this anywhere else!
	8:36pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:30 you mean your neighborhood is scary?
	8:37pm laurapanic: the song titles are extra extra this week
	🏝 ♥ 8:37pm ultradamno: Brix swiped a Buzzcocks song (Something's Gone Wrong Again) for one of her solo songs I recall the title of right now a few years ago too
	🏝 ♥ 8:39pm ultradamno: It kind of seems like if it sounded nothing like The Stooges by the time they were done with it not everyone would have noticed it.
	🏝 ♥ 8:41pm ultradamno: Stream just die for anyone else?
	♥ 8:41pm DJ Babs: we lost the stream for aboout a second there...can you hear now?
	🏝 ♥ 8:41pm ultradamno: Hit the mothership and back, good now
	8:42pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @8:41 Once I refreshed
	♥ 8:42pm DJ Babs: dayum that was scary! REALLY SCARY hi Bob!!!
	♥ 8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @8:36 we live in an apartment that isn't street facing so it's hard to get kids to the door. Plus our landlady wasn't super into halloween either...
	8:43pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @8:42 Hey Babs & Derek!!
	🏝 ♥ 8:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Bob Barth @8:43 Hey there Bob Barth, what's up on "One Night Stand", next here at 10pm on Sheena's, tonight?
	🏝 ♥ 8:44pm Alli B: It’s so nice to be able to enjoy the show outside on the porch! The temperature is lovely tonight.
	🏝 ♥ 8:45pm Alli B: Killer tune
	🏝 ♥ 8:46pm gsdoubleu: ↳ Alli B @8:44 Yes the mist was in full force earlier too. perfect for tonight's theme
	🏝 ♥ 8:46pm Alli B: Totally!
	♥ 8:47pm DJ Babs: Yeahhhh we need some Halloween mist!!!! We've got a fog machine going here for ambience (I wish)
	♥ 8:47pm DJ Babs: It's going to be 23 degrees in Toronto tomorrow and THAT SHIT IS SCARY
	🏝 ♥ 8:47pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Taurig [Britannia Row Recordings 21/09/07 version... This song is so good! Especially this version of it!
	🏝 ♥ 8:48pm gsdoubleu: ↳ DJ Babs @8:47 so... Lake Simcoe?
	🏝 ♥ 8:48pm Alli B: It actually does this annually, but people forget!
	8:48pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:43 aaah yes. Well have a stroll around out amongst it, that is kinda fun, touring the streets, checking out the decorations and stuff, saying hi to other adults out there.
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:48 It does..as Derek likes to say Summer ISn't Over Yet!
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Babs: OMG lake simcoe I wish! We need a beach day!!!
	🏝 ♥ 8:49pm Alli B: It was so warm in my office today and there was no heat on
	🏝 ♥ 8:49pm Alli B: 24c!
	🏝 ♥ 8:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:49 I only say that in October to people who say "summer is over" in August.
	♥ 8:50pm DJ Babs: Our heat is on and we are dying I fucking ran the AC last night lol
	🏝 ♥ 8:50pm Alli B: That seems completely fair, Derek 😂
	♥ 8:50pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @8:48 I agree! That’s why I wanna walk out on Tuesday!
	🏝 ♥ 8:51pm Alli B: I almost barfed on transit today because they had the heat on blast. So gross. I hate artificial heat so much.
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Babs: This is an alternate version too! Glad you’re enjoying Tom! 🎃
	🏝 ♥ 8:52pm Alli B: I love this so much!
	🏝 ♥ 8:52pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:47 It was 75º here today, which is also kind of scary
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:51 Nooooooo. Transit is barf inducing enough already!
	🏝 ♥ 8:52pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tom P @8:36 Yes, Tom, thank-you so much for the kind words!
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "There's A Ghost In My House - BBC Session" by "Th... Great version of a great song!
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Alli B: Hey there’sa partial lunar eclipse on Saturday night! Owoooooo!
	♥ 8:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:52 Most soulies consider it an abomination lol which makes it even more scary!!!
	♥ 8:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:53 Yaaaaaaaaas
	♥ 8:54pm DJ Babs: Getting that Big Witch Energy flowing!!
	🏝 ♥ 8:54pm Alli B: Purists are difficult at times 😂
	🏝 ♥ 8:55pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:39 Ultra, very good point, haha, re: "It kind of seems like if it sounded nothing like The Stooges by the time they were done with it not everyone would have noticed it."
	🏝 ♥ 8:57pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "C.R.E.E.P." by "The Fall" So nothing to do with Nixon and the plumbers....oh, well.
	9:02pm Bob Barth: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:44 Thanks for asking Derek!! Tonight on the show... LP!!! Playwright Marlow Wyatt and Canada's own... HALF MOON RUN!! All that plus concert coverage on NIGHT RANGER!
	🏝 ♥ 9:02pm ultradamno: A group of shrimp is a troupe or colony
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm ultradamno: I assumed that he was nicknamed Mad Mark, apparently, by locals had something to do with it.
	♥ 9:07pm Kristine: Hi all!
	🏝 ♥ 9:07pm ultradamno: Jawbone, a HEH favorite
	♥ 9:09pm DJ Babs: Kristine!!! Hi!!! HAPPY FALLOWEEN!
	🏝 ♥ 9:09pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:07 Hello there, Kristine! How are you?
	🏝 ♥ 9:09pm Alli B: There’s nothing The Fall can’t do
	♥ 9:09pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:02 Colony makes sense because they are SEA BUGS
	🏝 ♥ 9:10pm ultradamno: Did you know pill bugs are crustaceans?
	♥ 9:10pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @9:09 I think MES would be out off by all the posthumous love but would secretly enjoy it lol
	🏝 ♥ 9:10pm ultradamno: ...so land shrimp, I guess
	🏝 ♥ 9:10pm Alli B: I didn’t know that, but it makes sense
	♥ 9:11pm DJ Babs: That’s why I avoid the crustaceans and whatnot. Crabs scare the living bejesus outta me
	🏝 ♥ 9:11pm northguineahills: can't imagine what you hosers are playing today! 😉
	♥ 9:12pm Kristine: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:09 hey derek, thanks i am good. The fall is perfect right now, feel like being in a sneering mood.
	🏝 ♥ 9:12pm Tom P: ↳ ultradamno @9:10 I did! Pill bugs, woodlice and all crustaceans are extremely cool!
	♥ 9:12pm DJ Babs: Except these guys youtu.be...
	♥ 9:13pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:09 Hey Babs-ah! Mark Goth=MOTH!
	🏝 ♥ 9:13pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @8:54 the moon is gibbous waxing (90%)
	♥ 9:14pm DJ Babs: Hello NGH! I love me a good gibbous waxing lol
	🏝 ♥ 9:14pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:13 Hello there, NGH, lovely to see you & thank-you for the moonnews!
	♥ 9:14pm Kristine: Derek, how have you gotten away by playing only Fall for the last 75 minutes?? awesome
	🏝 ♥ 9:14pm Tom P: ↳ northguineahills @9:13 Hi NGH! Enjoying the top notch music, people and comments on this show!
	♥ 9:15pm DJ Babs: 75 minutes! We’ve done 8 hours this month LOL
	♥ 9:16pm DJ Babs: I will say we are backlogged now by a month of all kinds of new and awesome musical discoveries!
	♥ 9:17pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:12 I admit I very much enjoyed my walk out today with the colourful leaves popping on the grey skies
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:11 <jarvis cocker on>so you don't wanna live like crab people and don't wanna do what crab people do? </jarvis cocker off>
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Tom P @9:14 Tom!
	🏝 ♥ 9:18pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:14 Mr. Fab, the station manager joked in the chatroom several shows ago that we should play The Fall all Autumn long. We decided to accept the challenge for the month of October only. It's our "Hellraiser" special programming for the October "quiet" fundraiser season. WFMU likes special programming at this time, so boy did we find some, haha....
	♥ 9:18pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:17 I would also accept crabs in Jarvis cocker form
	🏝 ♥ 9:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:14 although might luna otherwise, i'm not a moonie.....(remember them?)
	9:20pm Mr Fab: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:18 With an enormous discography like The Fall, it really needed to be done.
	♥ 9:21pm DJ Babs: It’s true! Dunno if we will do it every year buuuuuuut who knows!?!?
	♥ 9:22pm DJ Babs: I’m glad we were goaded into it!
	🏝 ♥ 9:22pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Impression Of J. Temperance" by "The Fall" This album seemed like a stumbling block with The Fall for a lot of people at the time, maybe even more than Room To Live...the homemade quality, the toasting structure. It's a top five one for me.
	🏝 ♥ 9:22pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:18 who wouldn't?!!!
	♥ 9:23pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 I find that the most difficult listenings tend to be the most rewarding!
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 isn't the toasting structure mark's trademark? (i mean, it's one of many reasons I've dug the fall since i discovered them)
	♥ 9:26pm DJ Babs: Toasting…stream of conscious…exclamatory (declaratory?)
	🏝 ♥ 9:27pm ultradamno: ↳ northguineahills @9:24 It certainly existed to varying degrees, but I don't think there are more aggressive or just plain wordy examples than much of Grotesque.
	🏝 ♥ 9:27pm ultradamno: The kazoo might have bothered some people too.
	♥ 9:28pm Kristine: liking this fall track..never heard it
	♥ 9:28pm DJ Babs: Shrieks, grumbles, wet lunged growls..yelps…he does it all
	♥ 9:28pm DJ Babs: The kazoo was made to annoy people, lol
	🏝 ♥ 9:28pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:28 Oh, Lucifer Over Lancashire is a classic! I love this song!
	9:28pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @9:16 yesssssssssssss
	9:29pm laurapanic: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:18 its been fucking perfect
	🏝 ♥ 9:30pm Tom P: The Fall make me smile even when covering Doomsday! Was happy to pick up The Infotainment Scan at the WFMU record fair recently
	9:31pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 someone here must have told me Room to Live was good, as it is now my go to Fall listen...I'm influenced by you lot here!
	♥ 9:32pm Kristine: still havent smiled. feel like i have a permafrown on. somehow when ppl put you in a bad mood it sticks.
	🏝 ♥ 9:33pm ultradamno: It had a real bad reputation for a long time...but it's hard not to sing along to Marquis Cha Cha
	9:33pm Bob Barth: ↳ Kristine @9:32 When my wife is having one of those days I whisper in her ear "boobies" - works every time
	♥ 9:34pm Kristine: ↳ Bob Barth @9:33 ha! thats funny
	🏝 ♥ 9:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Kristine @9:32 well, you've come to right place, we're all here for each other. hope you feel better, sending positive vibes your way!
	9:34pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @9:33 I love when that track comes on!!!
	9:35pm Bob Barth: ↳ Kristine @9:34 hope it helps
	♥ 9:35pm Kristine: ↳ northguineahills @9:34 thank you, thats kind.
	♥ 9:36pm Kristine: Derek, I just laughed!!!! 'cant get mushy peas anymore'. bland but loved i guess?
	🏝 ♥ 9:37pm ultradamno: I remember having some hope for Martha Wainwright until she worked with Snow Patrol
	🏝 ♥ 9:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Kristine @9:36 now i want mushy peas...(i might be hungry)
	9:39pm Bob Barth: ↳ northguineahills @9:38 or pregnant
	♥ 9:39pm Kristine: ↳ northguineahills @9:38 but wheres the flavour? did i miss something? peas with butter?
	♥ 9:40pm Kristine: "who is that interesting hack over there?" LOL
	🏝 ♥ 9:40pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:36 Kristine, awesome that stories of mushy pea complaining helped bring joy... bland but loved, haha.
	🏝 ♥ 9:40pm ultradamno: Yea. Verily.
	🏝 ♥ 9:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Bob Barth @9:39 i just ate a whole jar of kimchi! don't judge me!
	♥ 9:40pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tom P @9:30 Oh man I feel like I’d lose my mind (and my wallet!) at the WFMU record fair!
	🏝 ♥ 9:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Kristine @9:39 from my experience in the uk, butter is a luxury w/ mushy peas...
	♥ 9:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:36 Yaaas we got a laugh!
	♥ 9:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:41 Butter makes everything better. Goddamn I love butter
	🏝 ♥ 9:42pm ultradamno: Are we really putting flavor and UK cuisine in the same sentence?
	♥ 9:42pm DJ Babs: I only allow it in the house for thanksgiving and Christmas
	🏝 ♥ 9:42pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:40 the last one i went to (2015), my former partner had agency over my wallet, b/c yes, I would have blown through my savings at the record fair.
	♥ 9:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:42 I admit I love me a good Yorkshire pudding
	♥ 9:43pm Kristine: ↳ northguineahills @9:40 LOL. i could do the same. like kimchi a lot.
	♥ 9:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 Ex Partners are good for fun ruining
	♥ 9:44pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:40 yeah i would have loved to go to the one in new york!
	♥ 9:45pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:43 i laughed when i realized yorkshire pudding is just a biscuit!
	🏝 ♥ 9:45pm ultradamno: Hey, I just noticed Kitten's show is archived...I guess rumors of the archiver's death were slightly exaggerated
	♥ 9:46pm Kristine: i have been using a lot of butter lately. baking the last few months. Did you know that even apple crumble calls for a lot of butter?
	♥ 9:47pm Kristine: i always joke with wes that he needs to give me his wallet when we get near the games stores (which he ALWAYS finds, in every hick town in southern ontario)
	♥ 9:47pm DJ Babs: Oh yeah, gotta have butter for your streusel
	🏝 ♥ 9:47pm ultradamno: It's a staple. I remember a TV show called Quarry where the lead character put butter in coffee. I tried it. It's unexceptional.
	♥ 9:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:47 Games can be crazy expensive! There’s a new TTR coming I got my eye on!
	🏝 ♥ 9:48pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:43 it was verboten for me to step foot in a brick and mortar record stores from 2010 on (I had three walls of our apartment full of records). my loophole, wfmu marathons and live shows...
	🏝 ♥ 9:48pm Scott_Oz: G'day Babs, Derek & Beachers! Home just in time to say thanks in advance for the Archive I will enjoy later. Been to my Mum & Dad's for a smashed avo on toast brunch. 🌏🌞🥑🍞🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻
	♥ 9:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:47 I agree isn’t butter a big part of bullet coffee?
	♥ 9:49pm DJ Babs: Scott we were missing ya bro!
	🏝 ♥ 9:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:48 sssscccccooootttttt!!!!!

	🏝 ♥ 9:49pm Tom P: It was my first record fair. Was able to pick up some great cheapies, Still haven;t listened to them all. Not tempted at all by the $2,000 colored vinyl copy of Santana's Moonflower. @Kristine - Yorkshire pudding is more like a dumpling. Good with roast beef!
