Re: Borderline gig

Yup!  The Fall's another one for me on the sh1t list Philip, so can't  
help you!
My advice would be steal the CD's back and get a refund.  Then  go out  
and buy anything, ANYTHING else, including Robyn Hitchcock if you have  
to! ;o)
On the plus side though - your son could be playing James Blunt  
(cockney rhyming slang if ever I heard it) so at least he's in the  
right musical lane, so to speak... (although, when it comes to The  
Fall, that lane would preferably be the outside one on the M25!)
...I'll get me coat.

PS - Chris, you're gonna be there on the 31st or I'll tell everyone you  
like The Bee Gees... Oh.

Help, please.

My son plays The Fall.  Morning, noon and night.

Actually that's an exaggeration.  He doesn't get up in the morning.

It's awful.

But weirdly, now and again, I'm reminded of the BAs.  Though on close  
examination, the ill-played guitars and the bitter monologues  
immediately  remind me that I am not in Bristol here.
I seem to have bought him a boxed set of BBC sessions for Xmas which  
seem to go on for seven hours.
Seven hours.

So, my question is this:  what ten or so tracks should I listen to so I  
can learn to bear this torture.
Thanks

Philip
