It's about time we had a Fall-related playlist...
I recorded this in a hotel room in Future Inn, Cardiff Bay, the same place where I recorded my interview with Gavin Watts for his We Are The Fall podcast (who will be the guest mixer on next week's episode).
It was a very good day: a pleasant journey in the sunshine, accompanied by a playlist of perfect length, and an excellent curry at one of my regular haunts, Zaika.
It's a selection of Fall and Fall-related tracks that I had a lot of fun putting together - I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed compiling it.
