Shall I say that the voice was deep; hollow; gelatinous; remote; unearthly; inhuman; disembodied?....so ancient that I trembled at the manifold signs of immemorial years.On every hand were the signs of neglect and decrepitude...But I do not fear him now, for I suspect that he has known horrors beyond my ken.
They could have at least gave him a bloody torch to read. I would say he could hardly see that book in the dark. His voice sounds like William Burroughs when he does the American accent. Someone should add some beats and remix this.
At last, i now understand, if only my teacher had been so eloquent and sober. Drink yourself fitter! If the Small Faces were still around you could do a bit of reading for them.
Mark how Mark reads, such that fairly fairly bleeds meaning meaning to and lays such that thus what were freely before you. Also: my scairdiest Lovecraftwing eva!
Who the hell produced this?! The shit Xmas decorations, the cheesy roaring fire and leather chair, MES changing outfit midway through the thing! Hilarious!
Seriously, I just watched it again. He's wearing the same zip up thing the whole time. In fact I know I'm sure I think I'm right. Watch it again, randomly and not in any particular order.
Mark E Smith speaks very clearly and eloquently compared to the folk of County Clair in Ireland. Luckily my Irish friend translated for me. Oddly, the later and drunker we all became, the easier it was to understand what was being said.🤩💎

I just love everything mark e smith does, just thought I'd say that
Being a foreign student learning english and having this as listening comprehension exam
Miss you, Mark
i saw the Fall play in Sydney the other night, didn't understand much of what he said then either but i loved every second of it.
The bollox. I love this man.
When he announced what he was reading for a Christmas selection, I laughed out loud :)
best thing on youtube.
I could listen to Mark E. Smith all day.
Many thanx indeed what a great man he was.
Someone put this to music, at least 3 Fall songs worth of material here
Back here for Christmas 2022 🎄
R I P Mark E
best thing on youtube bar none

This is actually a great H.P. Lovecraft story. If you don't like M.E. Smith reading aloud you might still want to read it.
Excellent. Many thanks. Hanley.

The odd bit of H.P that I can make out sounds great as read by M.E.S, a Cut-up, doubly bizarre. Yeah remix now. 👌 .
god bless the beeb for giving us weird shit like this. "next up: gary glitter reading vladimir nabokov..."
Well this just might be the weirdest combinations of things I love.
Pity the BBC didn’t bother their arse using a sound man. RIP Mark.
"...he's such a good old man..."
Hoots!!!
it's definitely Mark E Smith, he turns the microphone and speakers around half way through the performance. Vegetashhhhhhhhhone
a very peculiar specimen-ah! ;)
Genius
I love the american accent that would encroach every so often!
We could prolly cut this up into an entire The Fall record. MES and The Fall live on here in Chicago. FWIW.

yes ..they must have cought him in a momentary lapse of weakness and these were probably as rare as hell!!!!
Decided to keep her locked in the Eric
😂👏❤️
Give him a bag of speed, for fucks sake.

what episode of Garth Marenghi is this?
when the Licence fee was well spent
listen to the mics being switched

It's such a shame all you non-northerners can't understand him when he talks/sings. The man is a lyrical genius
Mark E Smith is wasted on some people and they are usually Southerners.
The NWRA, folks.
some of us ain't even english
I love him to bits but he is starting to look like my Nan.
Who the hell produced this?! The shit Xmas decorations, the cheesy roaring fire and leather chair, MES changing outfit midway through the thing! Hilarious!
Mark uncomfortable with his seating position all through out
Seriously, I just watched it again. He's wearing the same zip up thing the whole time. In fact I know I'm sure I think I'm right. Watch it again, randomly and not in any particular order.
i cant understand a single sentence
but he can't do up his zip
Ha, ha, Latch Key Kid!

I have no clue what the hell he's saying...

Fairly good reading apart from when he tries to deliver lines in an "American" accent.
I think you're wrong. In fact, I think I know you're wrong.
It's funny that a brilliant writer of lyrics reads like a primary school kid
Sayno 2badblow he was drunk
Is he Drunk??? This is a joke right?
Alan Bennett's lost his touch...
This guy has the reading ability of a 12 year old.
ozzymandi he can read. He knows exactly what he is reading, he just isn't reading for the audience.
He doesn't care, neither should you
Some people can read at bloody lightspeed in their heads but can hardly speak even to a friend
Is this a joke ?
This guy cannot read.
neither can he sing but we still love MES
