#RIP Mark E. Smith. Gobsmacked. What a void left in music. Though I daresay his work ethic will still see him putting out an album a year for the foreseeable future. http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/6778 #Fall

  #NME's "Pop Summit" 1989, w/ Mark E. Smith, Shane MacGowan and Nick Cave:
  "SM: They just want to interview three high-brow loonies.
  " MES: In that case you should have brought your mate Joe Strummer along.

    From Rock's Backpages this month, an infamous NME pop summit from 1989. James Brown and Sean O'Hagan took Mark E Smith, Nick Cave & Shane MacGowan to the Montague Arms (RIP) in New Cross. Great merriment ensued... (republished 24th January 2018)

    I read this in the #NME at the time. Good time to be into music. The #Pogues and Brix-era #Fall at their peak, a decade's worth of punk, post-punk, and indie to mine, and beer at $2 a schooner ($1 at happy hour).
