Can turn naughty
Love the Val Kilmer name drop
That’s great to hear, thank you.he's alright, same as always, really, just not in the mood for dissensus at the moment.
I prefer 'Black Secret Technology', but come on... Also a bit weird to tack that on the end in general.Oh, one last thing - AGCG's 'Black Secret Technology' came out almost exactly 5 months before 'Timeless', it didn't quite have the same promo budget behind it, but it's legacy seeps even further and deeper than 'Timeless' - and is perhaps, on the quiet, the most influential electronic album of the late 20th century. Just sayin.
My girlfriend used to go out with a guy from The Fall at one point. After he left, he and some other good musicians (some probably ex-Fall I think) formed a band and she saw them rehearse a few times, she said it was really tragic to watch them, all technically good but without MES there was no spark from them at all, the band was depressingly mundane.Mark E. Smith's a bit like that too. I dunno that he got good performances out of his bands, but he somehow made them all sound like The Fall.
I believe it. He was the one constant in that band and he couldn't play anything himself, read music or anything, had 60 or 70 musicians pass through the ranks and yet they always sounded like The Fall.My girlfriend used to go out with a guy from The Fall at one point.

In the book MES says that he will work with a guitarist, say, and suggest changes and tweaks and so on until the tune is finished. He says that at the end of that process in actual fact he (Mark) has created and written the song but cos of that kind of mutual process the guitarist would think that he had written it himself... he also said that the same guitarist thought he had written I Wanna Be Your Dog cos he'd kinda learned it from MES in the same way. Of course there is no way to know if that is true or not but it sounded plausible the way he said it.
I've been giving this some thought and I'm not sure it really means anything. It sounds cool, but what's the actual difference? You've still got one direction for past, one for future. Unless he means all times exist simultaneously and are layered. That doesn't account for time progressing though. It's like taking a giant elevator instead of a train. You're still just moving in one direction or the other along a line. Also, what is there you need to 'punch through' if it's aligned vertically that you don't have to when it's aligned horizontally?"The secret of time travel is that time aligns vertically, not horizontally - Sun Ra knew that, Philip K. Dick knew that, and I fucking know it - so you've got to stop worrying about moving back or forward and learn to punch through up and down."
