This is fucking adorable: The Fall - band  :D

Good article about the corporate media's cozy relationship with indie-rock and punk nowadays. Perfect Pussy was used as an example but that's just one of dozens. http://adhoc.fm/post/consensus-perfect-pussy-say-yes-love/

When I think of St Vincent I think geez XMU overplays that lady.  I do like her first album.  Never heard of Chris Ott either. 

Edit:  Did a search on Chris Ott and nothing came up other than linked in links.  Who the f is he?

Cool documentary on the recording of Blondie's Parallel Lines currently running on the Smithsonian Channel.

Are there two bands named the Fall?  Are they from different countries? 

Don't forget there are two Nirvanas…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_%28British_band%29

The British Fall have been around almost 40 years.

OK. 

British Nirvana started in 1965, twenty plus years before Nirvana of Seattle started.

See also Bush:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_%28band%29

it depends on who owns the rights to the name and where.

There's also Ceremony.



But The Fall are pretty much an institution at this point.

I have an excuse to put this here now.

It took them a good 24 hours to figure out how to block me. It was fun while it lasted.

I don't get why this one would be a problem.  Sure Bruce is called by his last name a lot, and sure he is the most famous of anyone with that name.  But, I don't see why a band cant call themselves Springsteen.  What about a band called Jackson?  or Dion?  Or Buckley?  Or Diamond?  Or Wilson?  Or Jagger?  Or Duff?  Or Simpson?  Or Spears?  or any last name?

It's not a problem. I just thought it was funny. A friend of a friend is in that band. And the timing with this Fall thing was perfect.


Also, Springsteen did it on purpose because they also find it funny. "The Fall" just seem unaware of the existence of an established band with that name.
