Last Friday I was amazed to see The Fall appearing at number three in the 'most played artists' section of the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Music site. Top spots are often hogged by such darlings of the Radio 1 and 2 playlists as Pixie Lott and Tinchy Stryder, so what was curmudgeonly old Mark E Smith doing there?


The answer was simple: ´óÏó´«Ã½ Four played out 2005 rockumentary The Wonderful And Frightening World Of Mark E Smith. So on Saturday night I fired up my iPlayer gizmo (on my telly now thanks to the wonderful and frightening advance of technology known as ), and settled down to an hour of amusing archive footage, rare interviews with MES himself, and talking heads from a selection of ex-Fall members (goodness knows there are plenty of them), plus opinions from general Fall appreciators. Many would no doubt raise some interesting comments from the sharp tongue of Mr Smith himself.

Worth checking, even if you know nowt about the Fall. And if you don't, you should!
