***Media Monitor Alert - Mark Ah! E Smith Ah!***

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

this is a repeat but a lot of us missed it and the repeat so here is an alert for, the second repeat

The Fall: The Wonderful and Frightening World of Mark E Smith
10:30 - 11:30pm, 2:00 - 3:00am, BBC4, Friday 26 May 2006
Profile of one of the most enigmatic, idiosyncratic and chaotic garage bands of the last 30 years. Led by the belligerent and poetic Mark E Smith, the Fall grew out of the fringe of the Manchester punk scene. Their career spans thirty years and three dozen albums, never conforming to fashion or musical trends.

Syndrome, Bollix, Yarbles, n:croachment Syndrome Ah! etc.

Well worth watching for the onstage fight at brownies in 98. :lol:

Since this was first broadcast he's sacked his band and hired in a new one (all within one day) after pulling a corkscrew out on his bass player and emptying his ashtray on the van driver :eek: :lol:

Cant wait for the Manc gig next month.
