Description

We return after a break to discuss The Fall and the redoubtable Mark E Smith, with a focus on the celebrated 1985 LP, This Nation's Saving Grace.

Gav has never paid too much attention to John Peel's favourite band - until now.

What does he make of the album?

Are The Fall music or anti-music?

What were Mark E Smith's influences?

Was Brix Smith the real genius of 1980s Fall?

Can you really rhyme 'wrath' with 'bombast'?
