this, from Popbitch...

The Fall are on Jools Holland's show next week.
Mark E Smith is the only artist in the history
of the show to have a clause in his contract
inserted to state that Jools will not play
boogie-woogie piano over any of his songs.

One would certainly expect so. Quite unbelievable I still must say, that the Fall will actually be on Jools Holland. Although, indeed, Scott Walker was apparently on the same show in 1995 - though I never saw that.

I've got a tape of Scott's performance. He did 'Rosary', it was quite intense. He did not look like he wanted to be there. Surprise surprise.

He was also conspicuously absent from the 'opening jam', heh heh.

the air/phoenix performance from years back was one of my fav live tv performances...

The Fall site reports they delayed taping after Mark E. walked on and off the set during the songs (new single + I Can Hear the Grass Grow by the Move), and that he called fellow guest that day Robert Plant "cunty". Anyone know a BBC America sched for Later?
