Smith as looking like a "wizened gargoyle" these days - thus my subject line. Anyway: Aaron Mandel (if he's still here) referred in his blog to the latest Fall album _Fall Heads Roll_ as being rather a disappointment. I'm notoriously bad at predicting which Fall albums I'll ultimately like (I initially liked _Are You Are Missing Winner_ for reason I can no longer fathom; I was initially cold toward _The Unutterable_ even though I like it a lot now) - but on a few listens, I like this one reasonably well. My main complaint is on two related things. First, there's something about the production that's a little too clean. Everything - particularly the guitars - should be a bit noisier, more clattery. And maybe that bit of orderliness extends to the absence of one of those obnoxious, freeform noise tracks - you know, the ones that lack even a riff, that are generally regarded as filler (and are) - but the ones that somehow add a flavor to an album that, I realize now, make the Fall the Fall. Thoths?

My older sister worked at a Licorice Pizza at the time and came home with it one day. I remember some big flap about how they pulled all the albums and rereleased with a far tamer cover to the album. And interestingly, I noticed on last visit to my sister's that she bought a turntable again, after years without, and had dug up all the albums she and my bro-in-law (who is 5 years older) own. A collection of history on original vinyl. It's not much, 200 or so albums, but man, it's like walking through a 1965-1975 time capsule.
