T'neet!! We are thrilled to chat with Daren Garret of Pram, The Nightingales, Pubic Fringe...and, natch, The Fall!!! (plus many many more)...

As you are hopefully well aware, Daren ushered in the splendid late era double drummer line up form about 2013-2015, playing on Sublingual Tablet as well as The Remainder and Wise Ol' Man EPs.

He's a lovely, lively chap and regaled us with many a tale from his time in and around TMF...well worth a listen!!

Here's a plylist of a good chunk of Daren's musical gems.

T'neet! Remember a few weeks ago I asked what the best Fall drum tracks were? No? Alright, whatever. Anyway, I had a plan! Find out what the best ten Fall drum tracks were and then get Paul Hanley to come on and talk about them!! One of those things was easier than the other. 

It was a delight to objectively once and for all to define what the best Fall drum tracks are. If you don't know, then listen to this to find out, because now it's been decided and WE CAN NEVER CHANGE OUR MINDS!!

T'neet we were lucky to be able to sit and have a chat with Spenser Birtwistle about his two stints on the TMF drum stool.

The lad has seen a fair bit of the world! What a journey!! From Jangle Pop Peel gems, to creating "the first indie dance record", losing a guitarist to the Smiths, taping up Hooky's drum machine, writing a top ten for Black Grape, Sacking Craig Leon, Rob Gretton supported Dub excursions, Wembley with the Roses, Twisted Nerve, that ill-fated Tucson Corkscrew and 911!!! Heck of a chat with a heck of a chap!<...

T'night our commitment to actually having some sort of Fall showdown continues to be questioned we spend an hour or so with Ex-Fall (aren't they all at this point) drummer, Mr Mike Leigh. You know who is. We chat about his cabaret days, somersault myths, the madness of writing with The Fall, those Dragnet production choices....and what came next—post-Fall, post-punk, and back to the cabaret world. A proper good natter with plenty of stories and laughs along the way!

T'neet yet another entirely necessary detour from the main competition. Yet again we are in the MES solo/collaborations bracket. This fourth and final set of songs means that we have finally listed to every Fall and MES track out there (probably!). This episode features more stuff form Panda, Pander, Panzer & Post Nearly Man, lashings of Von Sudenfed, some Inspirals, Elastica, Tackhead, Edwyn Collins, Ghost Digital and a dash of Blaney. Enjoy!!

T'neet! Fire and Brimstone!!!

While we're on our break between regular seasons, joined by pod faves DannyNo and Max, we decided to indulge ourselves in our first annual Monks Off!!

We pitted all the songs from the Monks seminal LP "Black Monk Time" (plus the singles) up against each other in a battle for their very souls!! 

And along the way we do give TMF the odd mention or five.

So join us to objectively what the best Monks song is...and remember ...our decision is final!!! Until next year!!!

T'night. we deviate from our normal path and are blessed to have Una and Julia from Poppycock to talk about the new Poppycock LP "Magic Mothers". 

The album is chocka with top tunes spanning jazz, post-punk, acid folk & indie pop with nods back to Una's past in the Fates, The Blue Orchids and of course, TMF!!

We touch on some heavy themes along the way as we delve into the meanings behind the songs and discussions the importance of community, the need for hope and the magic that surrounds us.

We hope you e...
