Mark Edward Smith (5 March 1957 – 24 January 2018)

“Tributes to artists often end up being more about the person writing them, but MES provided me with an alternative education, looping me into Camus, and Arthur Machen, and William Blake, and Can, and dub and old garage punk and rock’n’roll. I saw the Fall 52 times and without MES my life would have been utterly different and nowhere near as much fun. What on earth are we all going to do with ourselves now?”

Hold on tight, everything’s changing again. The only thing that never changes, is that everything changes.

So I started Autumn playlists on multiple platforms, because you never know when one of them is going to go down. I’ve been trying Apple Music, I’m not sure it’s quite ready. But I do love Josh Homme’s marvellous Alligator Hour.

As always a full comprehensive playlist for the long gone summer is here on Whyd, and Autumn has already begun.

Wand – M.E.

The Fall – Black Monk Theme Part 1

William Onyeabor – better change your mind

Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes – Get Out (And Let Me Cry)

Courtney Barnett – Pedestrian at Best

The Polyversal Souls – Goin’ In (feat. Afrika Baby Bam)

 

The Platters – My Prayer

Nadine Shah – Fool

The Bohicas – Swarm
