someone at work mentioned it but couldn't remember the venue. in my excitement i completely forgot that you don't check twitter for 'prolapse'.

Aww yeah. Anyone know how big the venue is?

Trying to guess how soon I need to work out whether I can go to this...

!!! TONIGHT !!!

At this btw and excited

well jeal

Was great. Especially 'Flex'.

so great. i've missed them

Really really really great.

nottingham tonight!

Brighton last night was fantastic. An absolute joy to put them on. Lots of Leiester in that room for a Tuesday on the south coast.

Semper fucken eadem!

Saw them supporting Mogwai at the weekend, they sounded fantastic and went down really well... except for bloke standing next to me who turns to his mate and says "what the fuck is this? This is the worst shite I've heard in my life [glances at me] you like this shite?"

Nottingham gig was a huge amount of fun, glad they've been so well received

Something new from Michael Derrick. Bit weird, bit mad, bit low quality.

this is good nonsense

Ack one ticket for gig tonight at Oslo in Hackney but I can’t go.
Any takers? You just need a dice account and I’ll send it to you.
If you’re a London ilxor just buy me a pint sometime (probably greater than face value as things stand so maybe a half).
Ilx mail works - slightly busy afternoon but post here and send a mail and I’ll try to make it work.

oh that sucks. I am going tonight but already have a ticket

Do they plan a new record?

they had studio time booked but was scrapped due to lockdown, no doubt they'll get back to it at some point
saw them in Leicester the other day, as good as ever live, played all the "hits"

Mick Derrick has a new record out, as National Screen Service, “A New Kind of Summer”: https://nationalscreenservice.bandcamp.com/album/a-new-kind-of-summer

Wrong Mick!

!

Mick Harrison, sorry.

I like the little ditties you write musing about imaginary numbers. Maybe you should team up with rock librarian god and leather trouser wearer, Stevie Twee (the sad hedgehogs have split, due to arguments about whether they should cover 'Let the sunshine through Your Anorak' by C86 favourites 'Cellophane'). You could be the next Morrisssey and Marr!

working a job at the moment catalouging zines, and obviously there is a lot of c86 / indie pop fanzines in there. have come across one titled: 'let the sunshine through Your anorak'and this is the only use of the phrase i can find online; was this post from the enigmatic fanzine author?

some guy who runs a metal/noise label in Glasgow posted on his Instagram stories today that the biggest disappointment of 2023 was the bloke from Prolapse being an abusive dick at Mono in Glasgow, and all the bald blokes in the audience did nothing about it.

what's all that about? as far as I can see Prolapse played at Mono in 2022, not this year. maybe it was one of them solo? or was this guy completely unfamiliar with Prolapse and took Tina This Is Matthew Stone seriously? couldn't find anything about it online

they played Mono in October last year, maybe that's what he's thinking of?
when they recorded Tina in the studio for the 1st album the producer really thought they were having a fight and hitting each other in the vocal booth
they recorded a new album in Wales this summer, should be getting released next year

I think that's probably what happened, bit embarrassing for the guy tbh, I think he's older than me, I'm sure he probably doesn't have as much hair as he used to

I saw them in London last autumn and the worst thing that happened was their t-shirts apparently stinking of fish because they'd been sat in a lock up somewhere for 25 years. I bought one and it did not smell of fish fwiw
