I've just had the back shaved down to a "number 1" so the velcro effect keeps it in place rather nicely

I saw the Fall in Edinburgh, they were only on for about 15 minutes before Smith stomped off because his mic wasn't turned up high enough. End of gig.
I ended up outside with a small group of people arguing with the tour manager - my arguments were entirely made up of Fall lyrics (although I was very very drunk and was probably making far less good a job of it than I remember!)
Meanwhile, my mate had crawled under the stage and ended up out back sharing a spliff with the band, Smith included.

I decided to visit their room, where they had a pile of chairs piled behind the door
their tone was snotty and offensive
so I called them, people like that really get on my nerves
to relax I called my cat

I was a prat to buy it in hardback the day it came out, though - it only takes an evening to read.

I like the song-by-song commentary. It's like 'Revolution In The Head', only not like 'Revolution In The Head'.
