This is a cover, Fall chums. And I like it because it lays bare the (ironic) pastoral nature of the song. And the fact that Mark’s vocals are so fast and clear and very hard to deliver.

Would have chosen Monocard for yesterday’s #FallFriday. Has the “At my peril and at my demand Monocard/From Prussia and Chiswick” lyric. Only other Prussia lyric is in Theme from Error Orror, which has a similar mileu and feel. Wonder if this was a conscious thing.

The last group + Elena on imperious, stripped back form allowed to breathe for the first half of this song and then Mark kicks in because the dry cleaning fluid erased the brain so far.

Too late for #fallfriday, but a few albums turned up today to replace my missing vinyl.

1. Dragnet, original pressing, super expensive, very very good condition. For keeping.
2. Dragnet, reissue on novelty vinyl. So I don't have to play the original. Came with a Rowche Rumble 7" (of which I also own an original)
3. Perverted By Language, one of my absolute faves. Reissue - didn't have it on vinyl before, just CD

The collection is almost back to where it was before the batch of 12"s went missing. Actually, it'll be better once the last few arrive, because I've filled some gaps.

I love this song because 1) Mark is obviously drunk but absolutely holding everything together, 2) It’s the first outing of the gargling tar sound effect, 3) It’s really profound and 4) It’s a straight down the line rip-off of I Want More by Can.

@richardcarter Y‘know he wanted to do a song with The Fall – his episode on the Oh! Brother podcast is really good – but ended up with the Wonderstuff 🤷‍♂️

(That might do as my #FallFriday starter: I think Shift-work would have been the album out when Dizzy was no. 1, so let’s go for the very underrated title track:

)

Pretty sure I’ve done this before (because it is a great song, and a stellar example of the inbetween-albums-and-singles Fall genre), but adding it today as I discovered I’d set it as the alarm on my phone at 6.35 this morning.
