That’s my tip too: Mark E Smith interviewed

Written by:Stephen Mitchelmore.

Terrific interview in The Scotsman with Mark E. Smith of The Fall. Find out also what his favourite TV show is (one of mine too), why Tony Parson’s is a “fookin� revisionist” (not the second word I’d use) and how he nearly became the new Dr Who.

The interviewer asks him about musical inspiration. “I�ll give you two” the great man says: “the Prestwich Evening News and the Salford Advertiser. Local papers are great for material and I love the adverts and junk mail an� that. Don�t read what everyone else reads, that�s my tip.” (Link via Cheek).
