This was huge news in Britain today. Last night we watched a totally surreal and hillarious interview (likely only available for a few more hours) with Mark E. Smith of The Fall, who were featured on his Peel Sessions 24 times, more than any other band.
I also just stumbled across this Overload interview which I thoroughly enjoyed, and seemed fitting for a re-post. I also found this info on his possible autobiography, which was underway, but seems up in the air at the moment.
