Gosh-lo, algebraic numbers is gay you know. Solvy polly-wolly-nomials in countable one-to-one-tee with nature's numberings. Veg Tak, Nej Tak! Atomkraft oonst Nordsk.

There's some videos featuring various members of Prolapse at the "History of life" event in Leicester 10 years ago over on the video page at www.sorted-records.org.uk . See Scottish Mick interviewing a little boy about monkeys !

Hot news from the Ming Mang Mong camp. Not to be outdone by Scottish Mick's stint as manager of the Haggis Collectors, Geordie Mick 'pulls the strings' behind his own Newcastle/Noo York creation, Ming Ping. The Milli Vanilli influenced sexy synth pop duo, (that Mick found in a chance encounter when on a quick flight over to play golf with Jimmy Nail at Tupper Lake) have been persuaded by the Mickster to do a cover of both Coldplay's 'Yellow' and Prolapse's own 'Fear of Teeth'. Mick has clverely booked them in for a week of gigs around Leicester, to riase their profile, and he intends to join them onstage for encores at every one for low strung bass action!

For those interested the website is here:-

I heard it on the grapevine that Geordie Mick has started a one man Bobby McGee's tribute band, calling it simply "The Geordie McMick's". They are due to play a garden party in Leicester very soon. Be there or be square. Rumours are that GM is also growing a moustache as a tribute to Wee Jimmy as well.

Other Prolapse related news, Scottish Mick is spending all the profits from the ceramic monkey selling business. He's now changed his name to 'Emperor Fabulous' and has taken to dressing up as The Hemulen from Finn Family Moomintroll, starring in a amatuer dramtic version of November in Moominvalley (the sad one). Sadly it is unconfirmed at the present time as to who is playing Toft or Snufkin.

Did anyone see 'Who the Fu*k is Scottie Mick' on BBC 3 the other night.
It was a warts n all doc profiling the turbulent career of an out of control ceramic monkey maker.
His ardent followers think he is the best thing to happen to pottery since Clarice Cliff.
He could break big,but tabloid tales of drunkeness and an on-off relationship with supermodel Moomin Moo Moo
have caused concern.

I just bought Backsaturday for 50 pee in Cancer Research on Kilburn High Road! Even though I already own it! I had to rescue it! It's great!

I didn't see the documentary, but I've got it on tape.

I heard it from you know who that Sorted Reciords are going to release an unoffical Ming Mang Mong compilation of the early stuff (liscensed from Tufty Club Records). Tracks include the famous "Theme from Ming Mang Mong", "The Flaming Zip", "In Search of Beans", "Like rubbing crab juice on Reg Varney (Is there order among imaginary numbers?)", "Measure vs calculation", and of course "Elementary Proofs". Also included will be a limited edition dvd, although this will only consist of a 3 hour diatribe from Geordie Mick, waggling his finger angrily at the camera, berating everett true for a bad review of a prolapse live gig written in Melody Maker in December 1994.

― Super Hans, Tuesday, 6 September 2005 15:26 (eighteen years ago) link

The projected title of the album will be Ming Mang Mong: Consuming All The Milk (2004-2005). It is so far unknown to everyone whether Kesh will be getting royalties for his maths lyrics.

― Super Hans, Wednesday, 7 September 2005 08:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Although Sorted have persuaded none other than Peter Unprounouncable Name from Heavenly (and later Marine Research!) to write a forward for the inlay of the album, to explain just how Geordie Mick 'consumed all the milk' when he came to stay at the Heavenly house.

>>Consuming All The Milk

― Maddy "Mad" McMadMad, Wednesday, 7 September 2005 16:53 (eighteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

The Sorted album has been put on hold after Dave Dixey received a cease and desist notice from Mongoose, Mongoose, Hat and Partners, the law firm representing "Kesh" Mongreilf. The one time milk depot clerk for Express Dairies had instructed his solicitors that he had seen "all the milk" and it was lots; more than a derelict indie wastrel could consume in a month of making tea while listening listening to Slowdive/Yes/Red House Painters. Even macaroni cheese wouldn't do it.

― Sir David Sane, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 13:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Did anyone see the reformed Happy Mondays on Top of the Pops tonight ? Bez looked like Turk dancing to I'm backing Britain at the Tube bar.

― Flora Mineshaft, Sunday, 2 October 2005 18:04 (eighteen years ago) link

And according to the 'biggest selling records' thing on T.V. last night, Ken Dodd, Tony Christie and Engelbert Humperdinck were amongst the most popular singers evahh.

Looks like Turk was right all along...

i've hread a rumour that Ming Mang Mong are playing the Sorted 10th Anniversary Show on the 6th at the Charlotte, Leicester ... i hope so cos it would add some class to a bill that includes The Ceramic Monkeys, Sophies Dalliance, El Hoggo Bongo and the Smooth Cigars, Nigels Pickled Leg, "Bleeding Face" Kesh and the Tearless Eye, Ghostface Sleepa, The Sinking of "The Able Fairgreul", The Mad And The Smiley, I'm Fucking Off to Gothenberg With All Jimmys Money To Open A Retro Furniture Shop etc etc etc.

― is Ned the head of Pi Face Records?, Monday, 3 October 2005 03:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I hear that Kesh Mongreilf, tired of sighing for not getting his royalties for the Ming Mang Mong lyrics, has formed his own band that will play the songs he wrote the words for, calling it simply Ming Mang Mongreilf.

They are due for a short set on stage at the Sorted fest, and rumours abound that they will have a face off with the orginal Ming Mang Mong in a big daddy/giant haystacks stylee, except instead of wrestling they will use their guitars as weapons and try and 'shoot' each other with each others plectrums! The winner (to be decided by Sorted Supremo Dave Dixey) will get to release a limited edition 10" album on Sorted in the the new year.

Geordie Mick for one, is positively trembling with excitement (or it could be really bad cider induced hangover).

― Gender Brenda, Monday, 3 October 2005 11:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Why has no-one mentioned T.C.R.?

That tape's worth a fortune now. One went on ebay for £51 recently.

Scottish Mick has taken a break from flogging cermaic monkeys and has now become a fisherman counter in Oslo. He has his own coracle, which he is very proud of, taking to calling it "Egi" or "Ogi" depending on whether he is listening to the Krankies or Neu on his walkman at that moment in time.

His job is to make sure none of the fisherman fall in off the riverbank, and save them with the help of his coracle if they do. So far 3 fisherman have fallen in, one of whom was bizarrely Harvey Williams! (ex Another Sunny day, Field Mice)

And here is a picture of Mick and his lovely Coracle

weirdest rumour i've heard is that there is going to be a Prolapse float at the next Berlin Love Parade. Scottish Mick is growing his gay moustache again after arranging to meet up with someone from the Gay City Rollers for some "armpit fun"

kjøp deg en hyggelig nye 'coracle' fra micky derricksons coracle buttiken og få en kerammik aper fri!

Scottish Mick har en salg for hans butikk , " Kingston av det Gynge " selger av mange av hans ceramic apekatt under pari pris. Han har fremstilt ettall med en foto av geordie mick's ansikt opp på , og skal sende den å seg idet en aprilsnarren!

― Edna Spunge-Larson, Monday, 24 October 2005 00:45 (eighteen years ago) link

jeg ville gerne købe en coracle fra butikken. Er det et flot billede af Geordie? Jeg også sælger noget plastisk væsler og lækatter in min butik i København. De koster fem kroner et stykke.

Those nice people at Sorted Records ( http://www.sorted-records.org.uk ) have put up the video of the Inside ov a butchers shop live at the Rough Trade shop. This was a gig featuring Scottish Mick and members of the Freed Unit, which was invaded by a gun wielding maniac who threatened to shoot them all,(I didn't think they were THAT bad.) an incident which made the national press at the time.

I know how you feel. Imagine my predicament that time Geordie fell off stage singing "Theme from Ming mang mong".

It's alright for you, he hardly ever even bothers to tune me up nowadays, I just sit here in the back room, collecting dust with the Catherine Wheel and Ride 12 inches.

― Geordie Mick's self righteous sense of indignation, Thursday, 8 December 2005 14:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Apparently Scottish mick's coracle has a hole in it so he's just goin round in circles in an oslo fjord, sinking very gradually. Even Harvey Another Sunny Day couldn't help, although he did write a song about how he couldn't get any girls, which didn't help the Scottish one much.

Hear Hear ! I shall be seeing in the new year dancing naked to "Pointless walks from dismal places" as usual.

― Gordon Thring, Monday, 19 December 2005 20:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I prefer the italian flag, but agree that nude is the only way to listen to Prolapse.

― Ralf Hutter, Monday, 19 December 2005 20:30 (eighteen years ago) link

I like to fondle my Prolapse while thinking of Geordie Mick and listening to "Back Saturday".

hey kids, start jumping up and down like idiots!
the longawaited Prolapse/Pastels collaboration might be coming sooner than you think!
after a high level summit over the xmas period, Scottish Mick was quoted as saying "aye, its gonna be crackin. me an the Pastels ur gonnae record th ultimate c86 song. ahm gonna drink fizzy ribena oot a jug, sorta like th Thirteenth Flair Elevaters but mair twee. wit? gonnae gieus a pint?"
Stephen Pastels statement read thus : "keep that drunken oaf away from me or i'll set Aggi on him. got it?"
