Imagine being stuck in a lift with Mark E Smith and one of the Davies brothers

Assuming such facile contrivances actually have any value, who would be the US MES? Beefheart? David Thomas?

Also, am I the only person on earth who likes the Fall, has about 30 of their albums and doesn't know or care about ANY of the lyrics?

who needs to understand the lyrics? you just make up your own from the words you can pick out of the rubble running from mark-ah's mouth.

also, it depends on what Davies brother MES is trapped in an elevator with, you know. You might join MES in beating Dave to a pulp when he started to go off on his metaphysical malarkey.

my guess: MES = pro-Dave but anti-Ray

does smith have siblings? it is kind of hard to imagine him even having parents!!

(if influence existed i might cite mes, on me: howevah usual caveats apply and this wd just prove i am bobby gillespie after all)

I heard he has a sister.

MES's sister is called Caroline, and she works for The Fall's entourage. I managed to blag a Fall t-shirt off her at a gig in Manchester a few yrs ago. She did the felt-tip cover-art for their 1980 "Grotesque" LP.
