got tinnitus Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 I heard the rumour; thanks for confirming! CHCH show? Saw them early 1980's in the CHCH Town Hall. Hillarious scene with 600 or so mohawks in front of the stage. All smoking (in a non-smoking venue).
got tinnitus Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Bah! Just Auckland..... Who is going to start a Facebook "Bring The Fall to CHCH" campaign?

Guest Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 The Dunedin hi-fi dealer Totally Wired is named after a song from The Fall.

got tinnitus Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 MES autobiography Renegade is worth a read. Er, then again if you are not a MES fan, maybe not.....
got tinnitus Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired. I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired. Can't you see? A butterfly stomach round ground. I drank a jar of coffee, and I took some of these. And I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired. I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired. Life leaves you surprised. Slaps you in the eyes. If I were a communist, a rich man would bale me. The opposite applies. The morning light. Another fresh fight. Another row, right, right, right, right. And I'm Totally Wired. JJJust Totally Wired. I'm Totally Biased. Totally Wired. You don't have to be weird to be wired. You don't have to be an American brand. You don't have to be strange to be strangled. You don't have to be weird to be wrangled. But I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired. JJJust Totally Wired. I'm Totally Wired. My Heart and I agree. My Heart and I agree. I'm Irate, Peeved, Irate, Peeved, Irate, Bad State. Bad State. Cos I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired. JJJust Totally Wired. Totally Wired. And I'm always worried. And I'm always worried. And I'm always worried. And I'm always worried.
