I read in the NYTimes today that The Fall appeared at this year’s CMJ Music Marathon. They only played a short set, apparently, but they’re still around. Screw the Rolling Stones.

I first discovered The Fall on some compilation album of English post-punk and neo-new wave bands, then picked up The Palace of Swords Reversed, which was, essentially, a greatest hits album of singles from the atonal band.

All be way of explaining why, as I do the laundry this morning, The Man Whose Head Expanded is playing on my internal soundtrack.
