Apparently The Fall cancelled a gig last week. Read on the net the following... "A mate of mine says (on good authority I may add) that while The Fall were playing Newcastle recently, MES was in the foyer of the temporary hotel (where he or the 'band' were staying ), when he was hovering around the other hotel guests "asking for a light". As there seemed to be not many smokers in the immediate area, Mr. Smith made his way to the main doorway....as he reached the pavement, he slipped on some ice and fell, fracturing a bone and as he lay there......only to be noticed by a passerby who tried to lift him up, who then dropped him again- breaking whatever bone in another place!....." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2004 18:14:12 -0000 From: "Keith Astbury" Subject: Re: [idealcopy]...WIRE ripoffs > The *ENTIRETY* of that bloody Menswear single,(Who??), the name of which > escapes me. The one that comes to a dead stop with something about "Breath > deep-aahh" in the lyric. What the f*** was it called......erm..... I'm probably in a minority here, but I liked Daydreamer (and Being Brave for that matter). At least Daydreamer had the right influences... > Did they take the name literally, and return to selling bad suits at 'Man at > C & A' or summat? ;-) You should play the High Street band name game. See what band names are above the shops. I set my kids the challenge once - I don't think they ever found the Menswear one, though did spot Cameo (Ladies Hairdressers)...
