I Spend Hours Looking Sideways / by Tim Lane

I’ve been obsessing a bit today over “Frightened” by the Fall. Maybe it’s the riced cauliflower, broccoli florets and cheese sauce. Maybe it’s the full moon. Maybe it’s the margaritas #margaritafriday.

Maybe it’s because “time moves slow when you count it.”

Mark Edward Smith (5 March 1957 – 24 January 2018) was an English singer and songwriter, who was the lead singer, lyricist and only constant member of the post-punk group the Fall. Smith formed the band after attending the June 1976 Sex Pistols gig in Manchester[1] and was its leader until his death. During their 42-year existence, the Fall's line-up included some 60 musicians with whom Smith released 32 studio albums and numerous singles and EPs.[A][2] —Wiki
