2: 'Prole Art Threat' The Fall

Typical sickening, mucus commute to Kings Cross. Face jammed against plasto-glass, posed awkwardly around someone's Brompton bicycle, folded up but still a ludicrous way to take up valuable crumpled human space.

In the sort of mood that this experience engenders, a blast of The Fall from my shuffle as I get of the train is welcome. The first tune this morning was 'Prole Art Threat', from the magnificent 'Slates' EP/Ten Inch thing. And the first lines, as voiced by the character known as 'Man with chip' are 'Travelling third class on a one class train'.

I know that means two posts, both Fall-based. But you can't fake the iPiphanies, baby. Play them as they lay.
