A showdown between all 500 (ish) Fall Songs to ill-advisedly attempt to find out the best fall song! Fall chat along the way with four life-long fall wonks.
Hello and welcome to the B.E.E.F.O.U.T. Podcast!
This time Al B and DB take on the final stretch of the Captain Beefheart story, ranking Doc at the Radar Station and Ice Cream for Crow — the two extraordinary albums that bookend the Captain's final musical period.
Doc at the Radar Station is Beefheart sounding absolutely furious and completely alive: abrasive, weird, powerful and somehow still full of brilliant tunes. Ice Cream for Crow, recorded two years later with an almost entirely new Magic Band, takes things somewhere stranger and more spacious — a final burst of invention before Don Van Vliet sailed off into the desert and left music behind for painting.
So which album wins? Which songs have aged like fine wine, which sound like they were recorded on another planet, and where does the Captain's final period sit in the B.E.E.F.O.U.T. rankings?
In case yer internet machine isn't working, here's a few of the tracks we're looking at...Hot Head, Ashtray Heart, Run Paint Run Run, Sue Egypt, Dirty Blue Gene, Sheriff of Hong Kong, Telephone, Flavor Bud Living, Ice Cream for Crow, The Host the Ghost the Most Holy-O, Semi-Multicoloured Caucasian, Hey Garland I Dig Your Tweed Coat..etc, etc etc!!

Hello and welcome to the F.A.L.L.O.U.T. Podcast!
This week, Al B, DB and friend of facts Dannyno descend into Dave Simpson's excellent book The Fallen. What starts as a simple look at former Fall members quickly mutates into a labyrinth of ex-members, pre-Fall bands, post-Fall bands, forgotten projects, bizarre career turns and unlikely reunions.
Along the way we bump into Karen Leatham, Eric the Ferret and the manager of The Chemical Brothers, plus dozens more familiar—and not so familiar—characters. Armed with Simpson's research, fading memories and misplaced confidence, we attempt to map one of the most bewildering family trees in rock history.
We confidently announced this would be a short episode... so naturally, two hours later, we're only halfway through.
Expect stories from the book, side roads, forgotten bands, dubious detective work, no investigative instinct whatsoever, plenty of hot takes, and the usual mixture of facts, speculation and affectionate nonsense.
Enjoy Part 1, and join us at some indistinct point in the distant future for Part 2.
Now... where did I leave that Karl Burns?

Welcome to N.O.T.F.A.L.L.—the occasional side project from the F.A.L.L.O.U.T. Podcast, where Al B and DB give Mark E. Smith the week off and play a pile of completely unrelated records that have somehow lodged themselves in their heads.
This time it's U.S. & U.K.!! A transatlantic rummage through garage rock, punk, noise, outsider pop, post-hardcore, blues trash, Peel Session oddities and anything else that sounds like it should've been played in a leaking social club with a broken PA.
Featuring music from Big Stick, Mazey Fade, Unsane, Sonic Youth, Frank Sidebottom, The Drags, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Oblivians, Country Teasers... and about a billion others we've completely forgotten until five minutes after we stopped recording.
No tournament. No rankings. No spreadsheets. Just two idiots recommending records they love and hoping you'll discover something brilliant.
If you've ever wondered what Al B and DB are listening to when they're not obsessing over The Fall... this is it.

Hello and welcome to the B.E.E.F.O.U.T. Podcast!
This week, Al B and DB tackle one of the most fascinating "what ifs" in Captain Beefheart history, ranking every track from both versions of Bat Chain Puller—the legendary "lost" 1976 album, finally released in 2012—and Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller), the reworked album that emerged in 1978.
Joining us is friend of the show Max, who's here to right wrongs, spill truths and, quite possibly, make everything even more complicated.
How different are the two albums? Which songs improved? Which lost a little magic? And which versions come out on top when the dust settles?
In case your internet machine isn't working, here's the tracks we're looking at...
Floppy Boot Stomp, Tropical Hot Dog Night, Ice Rose, Harry Irene, You Know You’re a Man, Bat Chain Puller, When I See Mommy, I Feel Like a Mummy, Owed T’Alex, Candle Mambo, Love Lies, Suction Prints, Apes-Ma, Seam Crooked Sam, Brick Bats, Odd Jobs, Hobo-ism, 81 Poop Hatch, A Carrot is as Close as a Rabbit Gets, Flavor Bud Living, Human totem pole
As always, expect strong opinions, deep dives, baffling Beefheart tangents and rankings that will almost certainly upset somebody.

Hello and welcome to the F.A.L.L.O.U.T. Podcast!
The tournament takes a detour into the Last Chance Saloon, where Al B and DB revisit the song that went out in Round 2 to bring a select few back in from the cold.
Suffice to say, some questionable decision-making has somehow allowed a few absolute gems to sneak through to the next round... while others have been unceremoniously shown the door.
Who was robbed? Who got lucky? And what does this say about the voting public?

Noel's Chemical Effluence vs Black Roof !!!
Hit The North vs Taurig !!!
The Walker, The host, DB & Stu descend once more into the ruins...
T'neet the lads shovel through another mound of glorious nonsense as Noel's Chemical Effluence squares up against Black Roof, while Hit The North takes on Taurig in a battle that may or may not permanently alter the chemical balance of the North West.
Featuring the usual reckless diversions, dubious scholarship, and several opinions that should probably have remained indoors.

T'neet! B, DB and Al take a deep dive into Captain Beefheart's The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot—two albums that still split opinion among fans. Coming after the wild, angular chaos of Trout Mask Replica and Lick My Decals Off, Baby, Beefheart dialled back some of the avant-garde madness in favour of heavier grooves, tighter songs and a slightly more approachable sound. For some, that made these records a disappointment. For others, it was a beautiful left turn that produced some of the finest music he ever recorded.
The lads rank every song from both albums: I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby, White Jam, Blabber 'n Smoke, When It Blows Its Stacks, Alice in Blunderland, The Spotlight Kid, Click Clack, Grow Fins, There Ain't No Santa Claus on the Evenin' Stage, Glider, Low Yo Yo Stuff, Nowadays a Woman's Gotta Hit a Man, Too Much Time, Circumstances, My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains, Sun Zoom Spark, Clear Spot, Crazy Little Thing, Long Neck Bottles, Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles, Big Eyed Beans from Venus and Golden Birdies.
Expect strong opinions, a few surprises, plenty of praise for the Magic Band, and the usual disagreements as they try to put 22 great songs into some kind of order. 🎙️🐟

Michael also shares stories about being part of the Manchester scene in the early ’80s and the creative vibe of the city at the time.

Oh the incestuous world of Fall podcasts! In between the heavy breathing and stuttering, we found time to meet up with the gentle folks over at the W.A.T.F. pod to casually rank all 60 odd fall covers.. from Henry Cow to Screaming Lord Sutch...from Sister Sledge to Hank Williams. they'll do anything to anything...and it's a hell of a ride!!!
This all emerged after we were invited over to Gavin & Steve's gaff a while ago. There we talked about our favourite covers. Check that out here
And so....what shines and what stinks? Like we would know! More futile that usual..but lots of fun and they are super nice dudes!!
Here's a big ol' long ass playlist of all (?!) the Fall covers...
and finally...if you want to vote or throw yer opinions th eway of the show, find us on patreon and pester us there....
T'neet - A spooky(ish) detour!
We have a good old chat with Graham Duff who wrote the (as yet) unmade film "The Otherwise" with MES...and also just happened to write one of the best sit-coms of all time (and cast MES as Jesus in it) and undertake a myriad of projects including running an independent record label, recording Lee Perry, writing videos for Factory records, writing the wonderful "Dr Terrible's House of Horrible" and being a Harry Potter Death Eater! Ooh la la
He's also a genuine and funny chap and we really enjoyed the chat. We dug into influences on the Otherwise, the meaning of horror and MES's unique voice.
All in all, a gem!

T'neet! Remember a few weeks ago I asked what the best Fall drum tracks were? No? Alright, whatever. Anyway, I had a plan! Find out what the best ten Fall drum tracks were and then get Paul Hanley to come on and talk about them!! One of those things was easier than the other.
It was a delight to objectively once and for all to define what the best Fall drum tracks are. If you don't know, then listen to this to find out, because now it's been decided and WE CAN NEVER CHANGE OUR MINDS!!
Many thanks to Mr Paul Hanley. Go and buy his damn book! Buy all his books, they are great. https://www.route-online.com/blog/post/paul-hanley

T'night our commitment to actually having some sort of Fall showdown continues to be questioned we spend an hour or so with Ex-Fall (aren't they all at this point) drummer, Mr Mike Leigh. You know who is. We chat about his cabaret days, somersault myths, the madness of writing with The Fall, those Dragnet production choices....and what came next—post-Fall, post-punk, and back to the cabaret world. A proper good natter with plenty of stories and laughs along the way!
T'neet yet another entirely necessary detour from the main competition. Yet again we are in the MES solo/collaborations bracket. This fourth and final set of songs means that we have finally listed to every Fall and MES track out there (probably!). This episode features more stuff form Panda, Pander, Panzer & Post Nearly Man, lashings of Von Sudenfed, some Inspirals, Elastica, Tackhead, Edwyn Collins, Ghost Digital and a dash of Blaney. Enjoy!!

Again! No! YES!
A third (and thankfully) final trip into the bits of the Fall's catalogue that didn't quite make it. We dig into mislaid covers such as Grooving with Mr Bloe, Jack the Ripper, Louie Louie and Drop out Boogie, early "gems" like Race Hatred, Stepping Out, Sten Gun Rock and You Don't Turn Me On.. and the endless bonus tracks from the Reformation 50xCD reissue. Suffice to say, though there were maimings , name calling and tears, we all came out of it a little older, a little less wise and hankering for the days when "Age of Chang" was the worst it got.
Label this one Complete ists only.
