The Fall and Faust

The box office has been open for nearly a week now and The Fall and Faust have been selling like hot cakes. I have just finished reading Mark E. Smith's autobiography Renegade. I can't recommend it highly enough. You get a real feel for the man and it's also very funny. There are some very interesting insights into how he works as a song-writer. He's very much of the 'you just have to get on with it' school of thought which is really reflected in how productive The Fall have been over the years. I saw them live at the Carling Academy in London in 2005 before I moved to Cork and I was completely blown away by how electrifying he is as a performer.
