Smile

THE FALL on the tube channel 4 - 1983 "Tight faded male arse Decadence and Anarchy He said, he smiled Something to dance to A certain style SMILE" Perverted by Language is a 1983 album by The Fall. It was the first Fall album to feature Brix Smith, then wife of Mark E. Smith. * Mark E. Smith – vocals, piano, violin * Craig Scanlon – guitar, vocals * Steve Hanley – bass guitar * Paul Hanley – drums, keyboards * Karl Burns – drums, bass guitar * Brix Smith – guitar & lead vocals on "Hotel Blöedel"; backing vocals on "Eat Y'Self Fitter" One of my favorites. They still had the raw bite I love, later lost but then regained. The everchanging line-up made for many problems as Mark E. seemed to be just a little difficult. But hell, he's a damn genius and who would'nt put up with it. Great stories of his public humiliation of band members to find on line.(usually drummers)
