Lyrically, I think my favourite would be "Jawbone & air-rifle,*" although musically I think "The Classical" or "Fortress." Heavily biased towards Hex Enduction Hour, I know -- but anyway.

* Or possibly "Lie dream of the casino soul."

Oh! So that explains your 07 Sep 07 - 05:43 PM post.

I wasn't gonna ask but I was wondering.

I googled the band and found this Wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fall_%28band%29

Here's an excerpt from that article:

"The Fall are an English Post-punk band, formed in Prestwich, in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Greater Manchester in 1976. Named after the English translation of Albert Camus' novel, La Chute (1956), they have released twenty-six studio albums and scored three UK Top 40 hit singles.[1] The band's work has been the subject of numerous compilation albums, including a collection of material recorded for the John Peel show between 1978 and 2004. Peel was a staunch supporter of the band, and as of 2007 they have made a record twenty-four sessions for the programme - a feat which has led to the widespread belief that The Fall were one of Peel's favourite bands.[2]

Since their inception, The Fall have been through fifty-eight line-up changes, with leader Mark E. Smith being the only constant member.[3] Smith's enigmatic lyrics and drawling delivery, coupled with the idiosyncratic and innovative music of the band, has resulted in a subtle influence on several generations of musicians."

That Wikipedia article also contains some sound files.

It wasn't just that of course; for one reason or the other the music of The Fall will forever be indicative of Autumn & 'The Impression of J. Temperance' is a chilling evocation of the urban / rural hinterlands of Northern England wherein such horrors might be all-too readily imagined - especially as the nights draw in and the early-dark draws a veil over the proceedings therein...

One aspect of Autumn / Fall is Hallowe'en, so I thought maybe something a bit darker might be appropriate here!

Oh, we have some great threads on Halloween songs here, Sedayne. Just put the word Halloween in the forum search box.

Of course, if we're going to veer off into other fall-related topics, such as harvest, Oktoberfest, etc., we have threads for songs about those, too. E.g., songs like Shine On, Harvest Moon and The Monster Mash.

... er, I meant to say "songs like Shine On, Harvest Moon and Beer Barrel Polka."
