Mark E. Smith likes The Wombats

a syndicated Q&A by the Liverpool Music Week people:

Mark E Smith – The Fall
The creative force behind seminal band The Fall since its inception back in 1976, Mark E Smith has earned a reputation as a formidable frontman. While developing a line in often incoherent, absurd lyricist (with his cryptic delivery riding those abrasive guitar grooves), thirty years of performance haven’t detracted from his appeal. He now joins the likes of Goldfrapp, Black Kids, Martha Wainwright, Vampire Weekend, Mystery Jets and Dizzee Rascal for the sprawling MTV Liverpool Music Week.

How are you?

Okay. I’ve just found out that it’s International Fall Day today. Nobody thought to tell me any earlier.
Looking forward to the Liverpool Music Week performance?

I am. The Fall hasn’t ever been a ‘festival’ group. We’re more of a club band so this works for me in as much as what we’re doing is part of a load of stuff that’s also going on around the same time. And loads of younger bands are on too. That’s good.

What young bands do you like?

My minds gone blank now. I do listen to a lot of stuff: I get sent a lot of new shit. And I watch some of them on that daft show on T4. You know: where they get the chance to play or talk in between that girl going on. Some of them sound all right. There’s that one band from Liverpool who are pretty good. The Wombats? Yeah, that’s them.

I'm too drunk to read all that now, but the fact that he likes The Wombats doesn't surprise me. The man has gone senile a long time ago.

Further proof that he's a tosser

The Wombats are the definition of shite.

Kill The King-ah!

Nah, we should all kill the likes of Johnny Borrell first. I'd let MES live, so he can read me bedtime stories whilst not wearing his false teeth.

Liverpool Music Week has been shite this year. As if I had to tell you that. Last year was actually pretty okay, we hosted the likes of Scroobius Pip and Okkervil River. The city has fallen victim to all that sort of studenty UK indie wank that the NME fawns over, I suppose.
