The Fall - This Nation’s Saving Grace (1985). R.I.P. Mark E. Smith. We lost one of the most important cult icon of music today. Can’t begin to describe what this man stood for and what impact he had on music artists that came after him. A man with a singular vision and talent that never died out during his long career. So prolific that he released 32 studio albums in his 30 long years as The Fall. Not single one of those albums received any significant commercial success but he made music for not anybody but for himself and to those who understood that weird world of Mark E. Smith. You didn’t have to be weird to enjoy and understand his music, all you needed to do was just be ‘totally wired’. Not even first month of 2018 has passed and we already lost two very important icons. Very sad month...#thefall #markesmith #rip #totallywired #culticon #postpunk #thisnationssavinggrace #totallywired #bombast

#LiveAtTheWitchTrials #TheFall ... a dangerous LP for me to play. This is their first LP and it's the beginning of a long journey that now, unfortunately has an end. Whenever I'd play this album, it would start me off playing all the others I had. I started doing this around the time that #ImperialWaxSolvent was released. Now it's an automatic trigger to the muscle memory to listen to it all again, always finding new songs that I hadn't really listened to and to track the influences of other band members, internal problems and toe-dipping into different styles and genres of other music to be transformed into a 'Fall' track or album. This happened again today when I had a hankering to listen to 'Frightened'. somewhat an MES treatise. I'm up to #ThisNationsSavingGrace and have 38 LP's to go. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2DHLPBJjiM/?igshid=vsonmz5iv3lr
