The Fall review, 1989

One of my all-time favorite bands, but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a coherent explanation why onto newsprint or megabytes. I’ve tried several times too, to no avail. Fairly certain this vintage Village Voice writeup is the closest I’ve come, even if it takes me gratuitously listing when I lost interest all of their contemporaries, not all of which I agree with anymore. Reviving it now because Mark E. Smith would have turned 69 yesterday. (Born a year to the day after Teena Marie — who knew??)
