Interview: Bob Mould (part 5) by Matthew Berlyant

Rebellious Jukebox

This week’s list is dedicated to the long-running Manchester-based group THE FALL. They’re one of my favorite bands of all-time and recently, I’ve begun to listen to their catalog again, this time in chronological order. Therefore, I thought that this week I’d present 10 of my favorite Fall albums and add some commentary as well. I have purposely omitted compilations and live albums, of which The Fall have plenty. Some of these are essential listening, though they would comprise another list.

Interview: Charlotte Hatherley by Matthew Berlyant

I am a massive XTC fan so it was mind blowing! I went over to his house in Swindon and we sat in his garden shed writing songs with our acoustic guitars.
