Well, I've found something to agree with Louis P on. I can remember
seeing the Fall live at the Huddersfield Polytechnic (in 1980, I think)
and they were brilliant then. They sang something that seemed to go
'Yeah, Yeah, Industrial Estate' (you had to be there) and Mark Smith
sort of spasmed about, a bit like Jarvis Cocker does now.
