This page is a resource for bastard lazy journalists and music reviewers who've got to write up articles on the Fall group but don't want to have to listen to the records, and all (life being too short for that sort of crap).

See some notes on the fundamental Fall Review guidelines for help on an introductory paragraph. Or have a look at some published examples.

See below for randomizable descriptions of Mark E. Smith for use throughout your article.

(note: You should not consider it poor form to refer to him as "a curmudgeon" more than once. In fact, your piece may even be seen as light weight if the 'curmudgeon to total words ratio' is less than 1/25).
