“Fall fans will deride this product” – Messing up the Paintwork: The Wit & Wisdom of Mark E Smith (ed. by Tom Clayton)

"Messing up the Paintwork does two salutary things: (i) there is a sense among Fall fans that, even in death, MES was not as appreciated as he should have been (there's an irony here) and so there should be books about him, even if they are not entirely very good and (ii) the presence of MES throughout the book is a delight, of course. How could it not be? How could it not remind you what a hilarious, curmudgeonly, out of step, wayward genius the man was?"
