There is a 'tribute' column in Private Eye this week, a sort-of message from the afterlife. It's touching that they did it, it's not something they've done often if at all before. Obviously it's terrible, but hey.

"Re-Mit", which I probably haven't listened to since it was released really sounding good this AM.

As a mark of respect for the great Mark E Smith we’ve displayed Grayson Perry’s ‘My Heroes’ with MES’s portrait to the fore. In Studio Ceramics, Room 142, The Lydia and Manfred Gorvy Gallery, V&A. #markesmith #markesmithrip #TheFall #GraysonPerry #ceramics @V_and_A @Alan_Measles pic.twitter.com/jhRNuxhfZc— Alun Graves (@alun_graves) February 14, 2018

Barry Sheen is on the other side iirc. (April Ashley and Aubrey Beardsley also, according to Wikipedia)
There's one of Johnny Vegas' teapots in the same room.

Huh, track list drops "Green Eyed Loco-Man" - which seems like a real loss!
