»You don't have to be weird to be weird

My faithful correspondents filled me in on the latest in old-fogey rock and/or roll:
The Fall are releasing a six-disc anthology of their Peel Sessions, and Carsickness' Chris Konigsberg has finally posted some mp3s.

Greg was good enough to give me a ride home through the rain, and kept up a constant stream of The Fall ("two CDs of their Rough Trade singles!") on the car stereo. We mused over which bands we'd like to see reunite ("Did you get tickets for Gang of Four yet?"). I actually do not care to see Gang of Four, unless you can transport me to a seedy club in Leeds, ca. 1979. Ditto Wire, Talking Heads (well, not Leeds, but CBGB or something), The Smiths. The Fall I don't mind seeing, because they're as current as they ever were.
