In Wichita Falls, Tx, the falls on the Wichita River. No, it's not a "real" waterfall, it's manmade because the city got tired of hearing people say "where's the falls?". At the top of the hill, behind the falls, is the cemetery. To the left of the falls, is the interstate. Yeah, a real serine place, huh?

Niagara Falls, Horseshoe Falls, in Ontario, Canada
The Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls, as most of it lies in Canada, is part of Niagara Falls, on the Niagara River. Approximately 90% of the Niagara River, after diversions for hydropower generation, flows over Horseshoe Falls. The remaining 10% flows over the American Falls. It is located between Terrapin Point on Goat Island in the US state of New York, and Table Rock on the Ontario side of the falls. According to official U.S. Geological Survey maps approximately two-thirds of Horseshoe Falls is located in Ontario, Canada with the remaining one-third in New York, United States of America.

Niagara Falls, Ontario province, Canada country, North America continent
July 11th 2014
I was lucky enough to see The Fall on nine occasions (the tenth was cancelled owing to Mark's ill health). I didn't feel a single memorial photograph was enough to remember the man and the band that meant so much to me, so over the next few days I will upload one photo from each of those gigs (in no particular order), along with the relevant set list. There's a lyric quotation with each one too - not necessarily from a song that was performed at that gig, but just one that meant something to me, or made me laugh.
Islington Assembly Hall - 5th December 2012.
Set list: Irish / Hot Cake / Strychnine / Grey / Hitman / Cowboy George / I'm Not from Bury / Cosmos 7 / I've Been Duped / Spider / Container Drivers / Weather Report 2 / Blindness / Theme from Sparta F.C.

Niagara Falls, Horseshoe Falls, in Ontario, Canada
The Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls, as most of it lies in Canada, is part of Niagara Falls, on the Niagara River. Approximately 90% of the Niagara River, after diversions for hydropower generation, flows over Horseshoe Falls. The remaining 10% flows over the American Falls. It is located between Terrapin Point on Goat Island in the US state of New York, and Table Rock on the Ontario side of the falls. According to official U.S. Geological Survey maps approximately two-thirds of Horseshoe Falls is located in Ontario, Canada with the remaining one-third in New York, United States of America.

I was lucky enough to see The Fall on nine occasions (the tenth was cancelled owing to Mark's ill health). I didn't feel a single memorial photograph was enough to remember the man and the band that meant so much to me, so over the next few days I will upload one photo from each of those gigs (in no particular order), along with the relevant set list. There's a lyric quotation with each one too - not necessarily from a song that was performed at that gig, but just one that meant something to me, or made me laugh.
Koko, Camden - 1st June 2011.
Set list: Cosmos / Hot Cake / I've Seen Them / Strychnine / Muzorewi's Daughter / Cowboy George / Bury / I've Been Duped / new song / Funnel of Love / Greenway / Chino / Psykick Dancehall / Weather Report / Wolf Kidult Man / Mr. Pharmacist / Reformation

28th April 2015. Mark E Smith RIP. Found these while tidying up my phone, thought I'd add them to the ones already on flickr.
Remember when you needed three caps of speed
Just to to get out of bed
And now you're on ecstasy
Hilary, oh Hilary
With your daft African pop
And that wine you call bull's blood

I thank the lord that you still don't live next to me

Extricate is the 12th album by post-punk band the Fall. It was made immediately after bandleader Mark E. Smith divorced guitarist Brix Smith. Brix's departure helped define the sound of this album: her background vocals and relatively pop-oriented guitar, which had become mainstays of The Fall, are noticeably absent in this release. Track listing:
01. Sing! Harpy
02. I'm Frank
03. Bill Is Dead
04. Black Monk Theme Part I
05. Popcorn, Double Feature
06. Telephone Thing
07. Hilary
08. Chicago, Now
09. The Littlest Rebel
10. And Therein...
