Did anyone see the little piece in Mojo magazine where he talks about
sixties weirdo band the Monks?

Check out the entry in Wikipedia -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monks - where they mention the song's
the Fall have covered.

The Monks are playing London this week -
http://www.dirtywaterclub.co.uk - and it is sure to be a memorable
evening. I don't know if Smith will turn up to the gig on Thursday
(does anyone know if he's busy elsewhere that night?) but I know he
will be travelling to Germany to appear with the Monks at the weekend
of the 21st/22nd.

If you've not heard the Monks before I recommend everyone checks them
out - if you like the Fall or the Velvet Underground or just have an
interest in plain weird music, you can't not like the Monks.

Scroll down to the bottom of the entry on Wikipedia and you'll find
some links to video clips from German tv in 1966. Amazing stuff!
