Mark E Smith from the Fall has died

[Smokeandsteam]

Everything is commodified and in this case in a manner which we can guess the person being commodified would have violently opposed had he been alive to do so. Not only does the commodification reduce the value of his art it also attempts to change it. Here he’s moved from the pub he actually used to a juice bar, of all places, of the imagination.

Normally we just suck this sort of crap up but when the subject of the recuperation is something we care about it should be challenged and exposed for its fraudulence.

How did he do?

Did he do that MES jaw click thing before answering each question?

Been up few days. Nice one ed.

A year already

I read this about him the other day - Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish: how we made The Adam and Joe Show

Vinyl Justice was a segment where we would dress up as police and interrogate a pop star’s record collection. One of the most memorable was with Mark E Smith. The only way you could get in touch with him was to get his manager to pin a message on a board in a working man’s club in Salford, and if you were lucky he would get back to you. To persuade him to cooperate we had to get him a great deal of booze and £200 in cash. It was like being mugged. Only when he had it in his hand would he play along. And the playing along involved him trying to murder us. Luckily we were dressed in riot gear so were well protected. I feel honoured to have been one of his victims.

That's really good, for all kinds of reasons.

Marc Riley just retweeted this. 'Leave The Capitol' what a fucking song.

 

[butchersapron]

Bit of unseen before stuff:

flirting, dismissing, tea ready suspicious of people who have their own ideas

 

[butchersapron]

Terry Hall a bit sinister

 

[Favelado]

Good interview.

"most of our fans are bus conductors and shop workers..."

Ah come on Mark now..

 

[Favelado]

"We had The Buzzcocks in recently..."

"Oh god. That's sad isn't it?"

 

[stethoscope]

Really feeling this again....
