Hey there, fuck face!

You know that part in Hercules where he has to kill the Lernaean Hydra, but every time he chops off one head, two more appear?
Trying to listen to The Fall’s complete discography kind of feels like that.

The Classical by The Fall from the album: Hex Enduction Hour

The Classical | The Fall

I remember hearing that during Pavement’s early days, they would cover this, and Stephen Malkmus would end the song saying, “he hates us, he hates us”, in reference to Mark E. Smith. I always thought that was hilarious.
 

The Fall by Beat Happening from the album: Beat Happening

The Fall | Beat Happening

“we were walking along the street
and i fell down, and you said to me, you said,
‘calvin you’re my guy with incredible blue eyes
but i’ve got to live my own life’”

This is probably my second favourite song by Beat Happening. I’m not sure why I like it so much. But then again, I’m not sure why I even like Beat Happening so much.

Here’s a neat (ugh) band I stumbled upon today. If you like bands influenced by The Fall, definitely check them out.
