*OK, full disclosure. Saw them supporting Flaming Lips in what 2002? 2003? & couldn't see what the fuss was about. Next time, and every time since - bang on.

But then again, I've been following the Fall for over 20 years, as opposed to 5 or 6 for this lot. And I've only gone silly about it in the past couple of years (ooh, shall I go on holiday to Montreal? BSP are playing, so why not? Fly down to New York to catch 'em as well? Oh go on then.)
Love The Fall as I do, a fair few of those 40 odd shows have been a below par, one or two bloody dire. These boys (and lady) though - never let me down once. Genuinely never less than stunning.*

It's crying out to be performed on the Aran Isles, isn't it?
Now I think about it, is that where the Father TedHeads go for TedFest (if they still do that)? Now that would be a spectacular meeting of minds.
