I found an old NME interview with Mark E Smith, Nick cave and Shane MacGowan last night, you probably know it. Found it on 'The Quietus.com'

Heartwarming tale in this week's Popbitch:
"There was this other group warming up, and they were terrible. I said 'Shut them c*nts up!' And they were still warming up. So I threw a bottle at them." – Mark E Smith on Mumford & Sons

F-Folding Money was taken from the Marshall Suite album. Along with Extricate, my favourite Fall album.
I seem to recall that British Sea Power back when they were known as "The Decline of..." supported The Fall at Concorde 2 once. Now that was a fabulous gig. Can I just add that I never quite got the support act that used to accompany The Fall in the latter years. The Video DJ chap who made ultra-slow mixes of Elvis songs. 5 minutes of that and it was retire to the bar until Mark and the band came on.
And one other thing - MES may have looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp but he pulled the ladies. First Brix and then that very lovely keyboardist who used to run the fan club (I may have misheard that bit).

And this snippet of an interview that he did a few years back encapsulates the man perfectly.

Wasn't Brix his 2nd wife?

He was married three times. Brix was his first marriage, then to Safron Pryor who ran the fan club and his last was to Elena who played keyboards and ended in 2016.

Here's MES take on Brighton, from the very excellent, hilariously vicious 'Renegade':
"I'd rather have Riley back in the band than live there"

Quite excellent.
Blackpool, only MES could possibly prefer Blackpool. Exactly what I would expect from him, good work!

I got the impression that he was at his happiest with a woman behind him. I rarely remember a late gig or no show when Elena was around and similar with Brix. Left to his own devices however and it was a very different scenario.
I was reminded of this today.

RESCINDED
At work last night (a pub) one of the regulars came in and told me to put a song on ....(yellow card) ..... bought me a drink ...... (yellow card rescinded*, request indulged)...
2 minutes they said....

Now I like 'Pavement' a lot. BUT.....

*"rescinded" is possibly the most M.E.S. word I can think of.
"Rescinded"
But sometimes people can be utter cock.
