Favoriting Brian Turner: Playlist from September 6, 2016 Favoriting

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

Favoriting September 6, 2016: w/ special guest BRIX SMITH-START

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!


Brix Smith Start returns to Brian Turner's show a little more than a year after his marathon 6-hour radio extravaganza on The Fall, where the band's former guitarist and former Mrs. Mark E. Smith first appeared on WFMU. Since then, Brix has released her memoir, The Rise, The Fall, and the Rise (Faber Books) chronicling her American upbringing and eventual relocation to Manchester to help guide the 1980's version of The Fall into a new realm and higher public profile. The book documents her rollercoaster period of success and turmoil before landing on her feet in Britain's TV and fashion world (and a recent cameo in the Ab Fab movie!). Last month, Brix invited Brian to visit her London home she shares with her husband and her pugs Pixie and Gladys, where they sat down and talked about her long strange trip, and current return to rock with her new band The Extricated. We'll also be playing some Adult Net, live Extricated, and more live Fall material.

Also, so interesting how social media have changed one's perception as a fan. I remember reading about Steve Hanley's book launch on Twitter and seeing The Extricated form pretty much in front of our eyes!

Chris Mohr:

Marc Riley says Fall fans are "-whoa-"? Hmph. What's that even mean? Hmph!!
Avatar 5:12pm
Brian Turner:

I think he means they are a severely attentive to detail lot, so it's gutsy for Brix to get out there and take on the history. History is a big element/non-element in the band....

Pretty rich & amazing discography by '88. It's been a while, but I don't remember anything that deep in Phila on that tour.
Avatar 5:44pm
Brian Turner:

Yeah, rare for the setlists to dip back beyond two albums before the one they were touring. Thefall.org site is an incredible resource for documenting every single gig --- can look at that thing for hours. Once in a while there's a surprise oldie.

Marcia Scofield is totally blasting against Hanley this whole gig, I love it.

I saw them once in 2003. After several attempts. They were great

Brian Turner:

I showed up at Brownies the night after the fateful '98 gig with the bustup and exodus of Burns and Hanley at last - there was a sign on the door that said "The Fall cancelled Mark E. Smith is in jail"
  5:54pm
s/buh:

That site looks amazing. Just went in to spot check, found the setlist for a gig I saw in London 12/82. Whole set is there + gig flyer. I don't remember Eton Crop at all, but Felt were great & Danse Society too (surprised me).
