The Cribs Attacked By Mark E.Smith
Despite the apparant bonhomie at last night's Mojo Honours List 2008 award ceremony, The Fall's Mark E. Smith is alleged to have physically attacked Xfm favourites The Cribs. It seems that he wanted the photographers all to himself.
According to reports that circulated around the Mojo Awards, The Fall's frontman didn't take too kindly to The Cribs attempting to pose for a photograph with him.
The Wakefield trio had presented Smith with the Maverick Award and the foursome were ushered into a room to have their photo taken for posterity. It was at this point that Smith is alleged to have attacked The Cribs, pushing the band off the podium as he demanded that he have his photo taken on his own.
Earlier in the day, Nick Cave told Xfm that Smith should stop snivelling. Having been told that Smith was of the opinion that Cave should never write another book (Cave is planning a second novel), the Bad Seeds frontman responded by saying:
"Have you read [Smith's autobiography] 'Renegade'? It's sad. It's one of the most whingy, whiney and snivelling things I've ever read in my life.
"He's not a curmudgeon but he snivels and moans and whines. I love him very much but he snivels. He should reach for the tissues!"
