F.A.L.L.O.U.T.P.O.D.C.A.S.T. EP167: The Saving Grace of TNSG! An Interview with Michael Pollard

T'neet we’re chatting with Michael Pollard, (one of) the artist(s!) behind the cover of This Nation's Saving Grace. We talk about how the artwork came together, working around The Fall, and how the sleeve ended up becoming one of the band’s most iconic images.

Michael also shares stories about being part of the Manchester scene in the early ’80s and the creative vibe of the city at the time.

F.A.L.L.O.U.T.P.O.D.C.A.S.T. EP160 : There's No Turning Back! Ranking the Covers with the "We Are The Fall" Boys

Oh the incestuous world of Fall podcasts! In between the heavy breathing and stuttering, we found time to meet up with the gentle folks over at the W.A.T.F. pod to casually rank all 60 odd fall covers..  from Henry Cow to Screaming Lord Sutch...from Sister Sledge to Hank Williams. they'll do anything to anything...and it's a hell of a ride!!!

This all emerged after we were invited over to Gavin & Steve's gaff a while ago. There we talked about our favourite covers. Check that out here 

And so....what shines and what stinks? Like we would know! More futile that usual..but lots of fun and they are super nice dudes!!

Here's a big ol' long ass playlist of all (?!) the Fall covers...

and finally...if you want to vote or throw yer opinions th eway of the show, find us on patreon and pester us there....

F.A.L.L.O.U.T.P.O.D.C.A.S.T. EP159 : Duffoween! Talking "The Otherwise" with Graham Duff (a sort of Halloween special)

T'neet - A spooky(ish) detour!

We have a good old chat with Graham Duff who wrote the (as yet) unmade film "The Otherwise" with MES...and also just happened to write one of the best sit-coms of all time (and cast MES as Jesus in it) and undertake a myriad of projects including running an independent record label, recording Lee Perry, writing videos for Factory records, writing the wonderful "Dr Terrible's House of Horrible" and being a Harry Potter Death Eater! Ooh la la

He's also a genuine and funny chap and we really enjoyed the chat. We dug into influences on the Otherwise, the meaning of horror and MES's unique voice.

All in all, a gem!
