mark e smith slags off sonic youth (again) - Page 5

clever name · 11.18.2007, 01:56 PM

I just watched the first 3 parts of the Smith interview... what a profoundly boring individual to witness. Why did I just sit through that? Damnit.

It's funny though, this thread has made me go back and re-listen to some of the less-appreciated fall albums like cerebral caustic, code: selfish, extricate, etc. And... wow. The Fall ARE the best band ever.

PAULYBEE2656 · 11.22.2007, 05:43 AM

dont call me darling........ bill is dead, mid 80s early 90s fall can be hit and miss but thre is still classics in there....

well, at least i didn't like it. first up, mouse on mars are on autopilot 75% of the time, which means it has preset korg synth techno on most tracks, to me, mark e doesn't sound as menacing or relevant when the music is not repetitive and this stuff is definitely not repetitive enough for him, makes him sound like a common druken crank instead of the idiosyncratic druken crank he is, and the tracks where mom actually give a damn, don't feature mark e that much.

seems like a wasted opportunity.

Yeah, I didn't know how old he was. He's about the same age as the members of the Youth (except Steve). And they all look a lot younger than him. Maybe that's why he hates them.

atsonicpark · 11.22.2007, 11:55 PM

can we please post more pics of his hot wives?

fictionfriction · 11.23.2007, 12:20 AM

i wish i'd taken some pics when i saw them last, elena is indeed a cutie.

maybe mark E smith is a stupid fucking twat? maybe the Fall were just slightly better than the Jam or The Psychedelic Furs?

Maybe that's the funniest post on a music forum I've ever read!
Keep on liste-ing to your LOT of grouindbroinking music.
Stupid fucking twat?
Maybe..........

antihostile · 11.23.2007, 07:42 PM

This is one of the funniest threads I've ever read. I'm surprised at how many people have never even *heard of* The Fall let alone heard them. I love Sonic Youth, but The Fall are, quite frankly, one of the greatest punk/post-punk bands in existence. Recent albums like Country on the Click and Fall Heads Roll are amazing. Post Reformation TLC isn't their best...but it's better than Rather Ripped. The fact that SY covered three of their songs should tell you something. There's quite a lot of info out there on them. Check wikipedia, and a full-length BBC documentary is now available on YT:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-Ff-7ui9BY

The Wikipedia page is quite detailed and has some samples:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fall_%28band%29

Just for fun, check out allmusicguide, where (for what it's worth) no less than SIXTEEN of their albums get at least four stars:

Smudged-uh!

Sonic Youth are great, but there are no excuses for Hip Priest ignorance. Enjoy:
