Big up Rat, Kenny, Peanut etc.
Container Drivers is one of my favourite tracks off (probably) my favourite album by The Fall.

Itās just a classic nod to rockabilly with some wonderful and very northern vocals. Canāt go wrong there. I really like the video they did for Perverted by Language which is essentially a mashup of music videos and an interview. Thatās actually what got me into The Fall (specifically Wings and Eat YāSelf Fitter).
Fall videos are great. I like the one for Edinburgh Man.
Edit: apologies for derailing the live-ness of this thread
They were such a great band. Only managed to see them once, great gig apart from MES singing half of it from the dressing room after wandering off stage halfway through
Saw them most years for a very long time since MES would book the Glasgow shows himself and do them whether they were on tour or not, but one time I saw Von Sudenfed and he did the entire show from the dressing room. Heād said in an interview he only did that band because his missus liked Mouse on Mars.
Vaguely relatedly Iām at a fifth birthday party in the same building Iāve previously seen Throbbing Gristle and Einsturzende Neubauten in. So far this hasnāt been as good, but thereās been a lot of screaming and Iām pretty sure things will get broken so similarities could arise.
Edit: Wrong thread. Whatever.
New Neubauten single is good. Come down and see them in September!
You worked at Mo Wax?
Always loved Mo Wax. If I ever part with all my vinyl Iāll be keeping that particular chunkā¦
Opening with Schizophrenia! One of my favourites!
Itād have been on the Sister tour, so good move to start with the opener, but Iām pretty sure they started opening with Candle when they were touring Daydream Nation. Probably already sick of Teenage Riot before the LP even came out.
They were such a fantastic band around that time. I saw them in 1988 with R***man and they opened with Teenage Riot. I saw them again in ā89 with Mudhoney and according to tāinternet they opened with Brother James.
Marc Maron interviewed Thurston recently and itās a really interesting talk about early sonic youth. His book is meant to be a decent read too though I havenāt checked it out yet
That was the first abum of theirs I bought. Streets on Fire soundtrack influenced!
Moshpit for Touch Me Iām Sick was intense.
