The BBC have posted a video of Mark E. Smith reading H.P Lovecraft's The Colour Out Of Space. Yes - it's storytime with The Fall.
“I’ve been a fan of HP Lovecraft since I was about 17," reveals the
band's venerable frontman. "I chose to read this story because it’s very unusual for him; it’s not like his other tales. They are usually about people who live underground, or threats to humanity - which I like as well - but The Colour Out Of Space is quite futuristic. He wrote it in 1927, which is weird.
“I’m writing my own book at the moment," Smith added. "It’s supposed to be my autobiography, but I’ve put a few short stories in it too. It’s out in April 2008. My stories are very much like Lovecraft’s actually. Everyone wants me to write about dark and doomy things, like my lyrics. But some of my stories are quite cheerful.”
