Mark E Smith

JARV IS... cover The Fall's "Big New Prinz" from a recreation of the 'I Am Kurious Oranj' ballet set at The Barbican's retrospective on avant-garde choreographer Michael Clark.

This week in the Basement: reviews of new albums from Guided by Voices, No Joy, Dent May and Barringtone (ex-Clor), plus new reissues from The Fall and Jonathan Richman.

The Fall's influence is as deep as its discography, but here's a 15 song primer to lead you into the group's wonderful and frightening world, with one song chosen by Fontaines DC, and quotes from Protomartyr, Shame, IDLES & more.

Today's picks for live videos to watch while you're home and every show is cancelled include Hum in 1998, The Avengers opening for The Sex Pistols' final show in 1978, Tierra Whack at The Rainbow Room, and more.

Today's picks for live videos to watch while you're home and every show is cancelled include Brian Wilson's 2004 'Smile' concert film, Cocteau Twins on the Heaven or Las Vegas tour, Jets To Brazil in 1999, Rilo Kiley in 2002, and more.

Listen to new songs from Field Music, Ben Watt (Everything but the Girl), Mouse on Mars' Jan St. Werner ft. Mark E Smith, Choice To Make, and more.

Mouse On Mars’ Jan St. Werner will release new album Molocular Meditation which features the voice of the late Mark E Smith...

The American Nightmare and Cold Cave frontman offered up intriguing commentary on Low, Dead Can Dance, Daughters, and other 2018 faves, and he also paid tribute to Todd Youth and Mark E Smith...

Upcoming dates include a LA show with Courtney Barnett and a just-announced NYC show in 2019.

It's a pretty straight up cover of the opening song from The Fall's debut album, but he does it with passion and it makes for a nice tribute to Mark E Smith who died just a few weeks ago.
