Joining us this week on Oh! Brother, Manc music scribe Mick Middles. We dig into the DIY fanzine boom - spilling ink on buses, dodging bricks from Teds at the Electric Circus and writing for Sounds. (+)
This week, Tommy Crooks joins us to talk art school, painting, Provence, East Lothian, and the chance meeting with Mark E. Smith on Leith Walk that led, somehow, to The Fall. (+)
Along the way, we get into first hearing “Totally Wired”, Craig’s exit, Lucy Rimmer’s letter, Brix’s last gig, rehearsals in Levenshulme, Cardiff with Super Furry Animals, recording Levitate, the US tour, and the final meltdown at Brownies. (+)
