We're still catching up to the depth of their importance here in Manchester. Pete Shelley has a lovely mural in his nearby hometown of Leigh. Not sure why there's a Thomas Pynchon muted posthorn. There's a great book by @hanleypa.bsky.social - but don't let him catch you calling 'em 'the' Buzzcocks!

Buzzcocks Bookclub. If you want a deep dive into this wonderful band, read these two books, lose yourself in the albums and then turn up at Horse + Bamboo, Waterfoot on 19th March to see Steve Diggle chat with Paul Hanley and his brother Steve. Thank us afterwards.

Adam Buxton is the guest on the latest Oh! Brother podcast. He gives a full account of Mark E Smith's appearance on the Adam & Joe show, plus his life in TV, radio and podcasts, much of it soundtracked by The Fall. There's a treat at the end when he asks the brothers about Fall songwriting sessions.

NEW SINGLE!

Wondering why haven't you heard anything from the forthcoming HOUSE Of ALL album "Inklings" yet? No need to wonder anymore: they've now consented to make a first track from the album available for you to hear on Bandcamp Day, so here it is!

Here you go, an original 1982 Kamara Records vinyl copy of it, signed by @hanleypa.bsky.social and @stephenhanley6.bsky.social and given to me in the mid-90s when I was about 16 by their brother Harry, who worked with one of my aunties

We also chat Prince Far I, John Peel, Tackhead and Lee “Scratch” Perry — and hear about his recent move from behind the desk to performing live. Hope you enjoy! linktr.ee/ohbrothershow

This week on the @ohbrothershow we were delighted to welcome producer and On‑U Sound founder Adrian Sherwood. Adrian talks us through first meeting Mark E. Smith, working with The Fall on Slates and Extricate, and the studio tricks (and “anti‑production” ethos) that shaped those records. (+)

In other exciting (to me) #FallFriday news, a very good pal sent me these the other day. What a legend.

PETE WYLIE - How I Didn't Get Where I Am Today

So as a treat -can I highly recommend the Oh Brother Podcast where the force of nature that is PETE WYLIE blasted and bombasted his way through this interview and then give the Brix one and the Matt Osman one a listen too- #fallfriday but in truth they’re all good .

Just listened to Mark's appearance on the podcast: fantastic, what an insight into East Berlin and ex communist countries. Completely agree Mark, music is fundamental to most/all of us.👍✊🎵🎶
