I had huge respect for The Fall even though I didn't always love their music. MES was a unique and original character, and the pop world needs more like him. I'm not going to attempt a Top Ten Fall Songs, even though there a good few in my collection. But it seems only right to play this one today: a cover, yeah, but he made it his own (though being thoroughly uncool, I still prefer the original).
The video's great too.
Lovely words Rol
ReplyDeleteAnd for the umpteenth time....you’re not uncool. You’re just unique...and hugely appreciated for it.
Oh, go on, JC, let me be uncool. It's what makes me unique!
DeleteA great choice Rol.
ReplyDeleteGreat song and yes, great video.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it! Why would it be "uncool" to prefer the original which, c'mon, is FAR superior to this cover?
ReplyDeleteTherein lies the mystery of "cool". ;-)
DeleteYou're so uncool!
ReplyDeleteNah truth is you sound not unlike the great Anthony H Wilson here who once said something like 'I'm not sure if I'm a fan of The Fall's music, but I'm a fan of The Fall'
Ironically, I have a similar ambivalent reaction to Mr. Wilson himself.
DeleteMy God, who am I following?!
DeleteYou have to wonder...
DeleteTop video.
