Showing scant regard for particular dates, but nevertheless wishing to respect the phenomenon that is Mark E Smith, the wizards come together to celebrate the great man’s 60 years of life and musical genius.
To assist them in maintaining the degree of accuracy they are rarely, er, rightly synonymous with, they have hauled in a proper journalist and all-round Fall expert in the form of Getitntothis‘s Will Neville. They also forced him to create a quiz. The bastards.
In this first part, of thankfully only two (Part Two is now available here), you get to hear how both Chorizo Garbanzo and Rebel Rikkit discovered The Fall and a whole bunch of Fall and Fall related music. And some terrible impressions. So, tune in immediately here and there:

excellent – shall see the man in bristol in november after cancelled gig in march when i thought he’d met his maker – he certainly inspired my more drug fuelled man singing in badger suit moments- the man has a beautiful way with language just wish you cld hear it more at gigs – not having teeth can be a problem i guess-
long live the king no one harder or more productive
fall heads roll and unutterable particular favourites but the man’s a wizard of course so many masterful moments
not as celebrated as bowie but just as influential
[…] history with them due to my guest appearance on two Fall-themed Trust The Wizards podcasts (listen here!), I decided that I must have first encountered them by buying the 12” of their second session […]
