I don't understand why so many people have an issue with the interviewer. This is one of, if not the best Mark E. Smith interviews I've ever seen. Mark was having a great time, Ian was brilliant.

The way he delivers the line "I must be the only Manchester musician who doesn't play golf" is SO Partridgeqsue. We should probably note that Coogan being a Manchester lad was influenced in his comedy by The Fall.

I was once outside Piccadilly Station listening to a busker when Smith and his entourage suddenly appeared and in full on argument mode. Smith stopped arguing with his entourage and said to the busker" Hey, your a pretty good guitarist do you want to play guitar in The Fall"? and the busker replied "NO"!, and Smith replied "Why not" and the busker said " Well, because your crap and I cant stand your whining and moaning" There was a bit of alcohol assisted arguing by Smith but the busker just got on with his next song and sounded Smith out. I and a few others were pissing ourselves laughing.

ian is funnier than people give him credit especially in this interview, always forget he is performing a journalist. That astrology bit is gold. RIP MES! changed my life after seeing the middle class revolt tour. never felt so much kinship/family from any audience, everyone danced at the fall shows.

Seen The Fall and Mark Smith more than any other band . Deeply Vale free festival... What an honest ,switched on guy... He had Charisma. He had crazy lyrics. He was a genuine original individual. Live at the witch trials is up there with the best... Very funny guy. Very intelegant. Pushed the boundaries of music. Band on the wall. Etc etc. He was a real great frontman. Really spontaneous. Can't say enough good things. David Fielding. Love to all. Xx

He's not drunk. He talks with a lisp because of his previous drug habits. He's not vulnerable-- he's rich and he continues to turn out records, and remember he also agreed to do the interview and could walk out at any time.

Let's roll it back even further to when he fronted Nation of Ulysses, a truly rad band that put food on the table for so many others who were later influenced by them. These two have/had their flaws but one can't help but be a massive fan of their work (at least I can't).

Svenonious is great. He might come off as a bit arrogant, but that's part of his schtick on this show. And he is definitely not ignorant in the least. I love MES and The Fall to death, but sometimes his fans just get so worked up about him. These are two great musicians talking to each other.
