The Fall: No Bulbs

Track of the Week - 30 May 2021

A couple of weeks ago the light in our oven went out. I know, first world problems.

We didn't have a spare so Mrs Tea at Johnny's ordered a new one. I replaced it this week but the light still refuses to work. So we still have no working bulb in the cooker and the inside of the device remains in darkness.

The bulbs in The Fall song I've chosen this week are of the room light variety. Mark E. Smith is hindered in his quest to find "a belt in the early morn'" because of the lack of light.

No Bulbs is from the group's 1984 EP Call For Escape Route. I know I bang on about The Fall a lot but this track is immense. Go on, have the near-eight minute version. I spoil you!
