For FALLSOUNDARCHIVE007 we asked The Hard Quartet (Matt Sweeney, Stephen Malkmus, Jim White, Emmett Kelly) to list their favourite Fall tracks. But their answer was simple...
“The Hard Quartet could not fathom making a list of favorite songs by the Fall, but in our discussions one thing was clear: as youngsters, none of us were the same after hearing “Slates”.
And so, HQ says “If you wanna do a kid a big favor, give them. . .SLATES”
You heard the guys - go forth and listen to SLATES
The Hard Quartet -- Stephen Malkmus, Matt Sweeney, Emmett Kelly and Jim White -- packed Union Pool's patio for a very sweaty edition of Union Pool's free Summer Thunder series.

Something you can do in a strange Dutch city: find out whether Eddie and Alex Van Halen grew up there-and if they did, go find the house they were raised in. This is a thing Bob Dylan does when he’s on tour: finds out what great artist grew up in whatever town he’s in, visits their childhood home and sees what they saw when they were forming as humans. So that’s what the fuck I did. Found the Van Halen’s house and vibed hard. The experience ruled, I’m sharing it with you. Cuz Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen rule.
