Here's a cool clip of the Fall on the Jools Holland show, playing a medley of "Pacifying Joint" and what is alleged to be a cover of "I Can Hear the Grass Grow" by the Move. Courtesy of WFMU's Brian Turner, who describes it thus:

Under giant hulking letters spelling out "Fall", Smith warbles, barks, tampers with his wife's keyboards, and is, in other words, great. The band's lumbering, repetitive din quickly takes command of the BBC set and for seven minutes takes it outside the parameters of your average-act-promoting-new-hit-on-TV, and no doubt that both the audience and fellow guests all knew something quite different was afoot that day.. Allegedly there was an off-camera advisory from MES to Jools to "not join in on any boogie-woogie piano" and fellow guest Robert Plant supposedly got called "c***ty" out loud. Ah, Mark.

Great shit - I wish they showed that show in the U.S.! I remember there was a version of it on years ago on NBC for a short while.

Is that really his wife, or is it his granddaughter? wink
