Waste some time.
A project of disturbed commitment. Love it.

Doesn't really appeal, to be honest. Even a short story by one of my favourite stand-ups, Stewart Lee, doesn't fill me with hope. A book of MES' short fiction, that'd be great, but this hasn't got much to do with what I love about the Fall. If it turns out better than average, let me know. I see it's a penny on Amazon, so I can invest that much for even one good story.

It's no live, uncensored webcam in MES's rehearsal dungeon, that's for sure.

After I read it again (might be a few months), I can mail it to you.

I always appreciate a new book. Thanks. Only if it's recommended, of course, it's a long way to post.

If it's MES and a bunch of hack actors, it's The Fall.

Mark E Smith in 2015.
"But you can’t even watch TV in peace these days. There is a lot of peer pressure to watch certain programmes. It is like, ‘Have you watched Game of Thrones Mark?' Why? Should I have done? You are a social leper if you are not up to speed with the latest ridiculous episiode. The wife goes, ‘The rest of the band have got Netflix Mark.’ I just say go and live with them then. You even have to pay £50 to watch football on the box these days.

I can't even describe how much I'd love spending nine hours in a Salford Wetherspoons with him.

The thing is he really has a point in someways. With all the technology available it just seems to make us more stupid. Now we can call up on our mobiles whenever we like and connect through Facebook/Twitter and fuck knows what else, no one bothers to actually talk to each other but instead just send text messages and pics of the bosses secretary bending over the fax machine.

Eh, I'm not so jaundiced. I'm not saying there are no negative consequences, but it's still communication. As well, there's less gatekeeping via Internet communication, which is a positive development.
