The N.W.R.A. scoort hoog, maar niet genoeg voor een podiumplek. Ik plaats een nieuwe, maar stem gerust nog op dit nummer, misschien gaat ie nog wat meer risen.

Een 8.

En ook nog een 8,5 voor Totally Wired en The NWRA.

Klinkt goed trouwens zo'n kerstborrel... Ik zou mijn oren niet geloven denk ik als er bij ons ineens The Fall werd gedraaid, laat staan gecoverd.

Misschien wel het meest liedjes-achtige liedje van The Fall is dit Blood Outta Stone, wat klinkt als een cover van een obscure sixties-parel maar toch echt van de band zelf is.

The Fall deed goeie covers, vaak een stuk energieker dan de originelen. En altijd eigengereid.

Altijd? Nee, één keer bleven ze dicht bij de originele uitvoering met alle gevolgen van dien. De keuze voor het nummer maakt MES sympathiek, maar voor de rest...

A Day In the Life krijgt weinig handen op elkaar. Ik snap waarom...

Op de B-kant van Hey! Luciani stond dit charmante liedje. The Fall en charmant? Het kon soms dus wel!

Mooi die eensgezindheid en ook mooi 7,5 rond voor dit übersympathieke miniatuurtje. Maar ik ga wel een hele andere kant op

Van een van de minst gesmaakte langspelers met veel nadagen-geroggel komt deze track. Onbehaagziek en weerbarstig, en dan duren die 10 minuten lekker láng. Enjoy

Wordt op gelijke waarde geschat als een New Face In Hell, niet verkeerd.

In 1983 ging The Fall touren in de US en daar ontmoette MES Laura Salenger (Brix). Zij werd zijn importbruid, maakte MES glamoureuzer, The Fall toegankelijker (en volgens sommigen waaronder mij ook beter). In elk geval was de periode met deze Californische glamourpoes, die serieus kon gitaarspelen en songschrijven, de meest succesvolle.

Ook al zal je dat op basis van Hotel Blöedel nog niet zeggen. Het eerste levensteken van Brix op plaat (Perverted By Language) is dit merkwaardige door haar geschreven en onvast gezongen liedje, met de glijdende synthklanken en demo-achtige kwaliteiten. Het eerste nummer ook dat ik ooit van The Fall hoorde, en ik werd flink op het verkeerde been gezet.

Hotel Blöedel is zeker een persoonlijke favoriet en ik maak van de gelegenheid gebruik om daar een andere favoriet op te laten volgen. De top 10 zal ie niet halen maar dit stylish filmpje gaat vast wel iets helpen. Overigens kent City Dweller een van Smith's betere, beeldende teksten.
Get out of my city you mediocre pseud and take those red tight bastards with you!

Alles kan: City Dweller op 9. Met slechts 6 stemmen overigens, de lijnen staan nog open voor dit nummer.
Hotel Blöedel zakt een klein stukkie.
