The Curse Of The Fall
I've got a feature in today's Guardian which leans towards the human costs of my search - a car, my health, my girlfriend. I still shudder at the aesthetic costs - when I saw The Fall at Leeds Fforde Grene, I was sporting a hideous curly perm that had gone wrong. I blame the influence of Terry Hall's Fun Boy Three-era barnet for that one!

K. K. Burns Babe
Not literal - Karl's always been "Karl Burns"
Directory enquiries put an 'E' in...
Any self-respecting Fall fan would know it's "the gruppe" not "the group"
!
ps
b) That would be anal mate! :)
my budget didn't extend to Germany! My first car didn't get past the M62.
"Gruppe/group" will both do really, you're right. The verboten word is "band"
Actually there were a few I drew the line at, including the "Stuart" who appeared before a live TV audience (but not a proper gig), and the assorted roadies/loons/road managers who read lyrics on encores etc. Stuart Estell was the exception to that cos it's such a great story.
I am a recovering Fall obsessive (it is 173 days since I last heard any of their music). Your Guardian article has set it off again! GRrrr
Dave's fate is in the book.
