from Beat Motel Zine

Get the full show notes at beatmotel.co.uk The Fall shouldn't really need an introduction. But are you sure they are the band you think they are? For this episode of The Beat Motel Podcast I'm joined by writer Mark Beaumont-Thomas and we discuss the story of Mark E Smith, The Fall and most importantly, the music. The passing of Mark E Smith appears to have inspired many to take a fresh look at The Fall. Many are realising that the appeal of this band is broader than they thought. So this episode is a look at why The Fall aren't the scary band for elitists you might have thought they are. There is a TON of extra info about The Fall on this page, so make sure you scroll down.

Explicit BLOOD ON THE TRACKS Season 4: The Brian Wilson Story iHeartPodcasts and Double Elvis In 1966, Brian Wilson planned to follow up the Beach Boys' groundbreaking album Pet Sounds with an even bigger musical statement. He was writing a teenage symphony to God. That album, Smile, was never finished. Instead, Brian slowly unraveled, as the pressure to make something profound weighed heavy on him. He worried that he wasn’t good enough. He worried that he was a failure in the eyes of the record company, his band, his peers, and his own father. He thought his house was bugged. He thought the music he was making conjured some strange voodoo that had a disastrous impact on the real world. He became paranoid. He self-medicated with amphetamines, hash, and LSD. He held meetings in his swimming pool. He imagined people who weren’t there. And eventually, in 1967, he went off the proverbial deep end. Did the real Brian Wilson ever resurface?
