#87A - Levitate (1997) - SIDE A Jul 15, 2025

Show notes

Why elevate, when you can Levitate? (so much less work!) And that's exactly what we get from The Fall in 1997. This big-top attraction is not for all, but it's definitely for these lads. Join us for one of the most enthralling albums of this era, LEVITATE.

#86 - The Fall at Glastonbury (2015) Watch-along [Patreon Preview] Jul 08, 2025

Show notes

[PATREON PREVIEW:] MES has always had a contentious relationship with the Glastonbury festival. But 10 years ago, The Fall were invited, and they definitely showed up. To celebrate The Fall's 2015 performance, the lads sit down for a bonus watch-along of this high tension set. Grab a couple packs of Spangles because this is a popcorn double-feature that is not to be missed.

#82B - The Light User Syndrome (1996) - SIDE B Jun 10, 2025

Show notes

The lads get to the bottom, the very bottom of this Side B of The Fall's valuable entry into the catalogue, The Light User Syndrome. Weird tracks are assessed with force. Who is your MES 'man'?

#82A - The Light User Syndrome (1996) - SIDE A Jun 03, 2025

Show notes

The band is sporting the 90's chic on the cover, but let's see whats being offered on the inside. 1996's full length from The Fall is, no doubt, something to be reckoned with. We need them all, and we are the best. *Quote at the beginning of episode is from Steve Hanley.
