Grant Brissey has done many great things for the world, and creating the Line Out tag Fall Video of the Day is one of the greatest. A place where we can all stare at screens to find collected Fall videos! A place for us!

And today! Today is old mushmouth's birthday! Born on March 5th, 1957 to a working-class family in Broughton, Salford, in Lancashire, England. Mark E. Smith recently stated to the press that he didn't like any of the songs on the Fall's last record, Ersatz GB. Apparently next month's 243,532th Fall record, entitled Re-Mit, is going to be much better. But how would that guy even know? His brains are oatmeal!

Below you'll find a live version of "I am Damo Suzuki" from 1985. The song is probably about Smith's love for Can, and the riff is totally swiped from "Oh Yeah" off of Tago Mago. Of course, the Fall will always rule. Though I'll always rue the day that I shelled out $30 to see them in 2003. What a debacle!
