In a bizzare twist of fate Geordie Mick has accidently burnt all his nostril hair off while trying to impersonate Ron Mael from Sparks using only a packet of matches and some "laughing gas". S'all true.

Hey Turk! The 'Glider sank without a trace, anyway. F'k'm. Has Scotia gone to Norway with Elin yet? Might be up to play at the Spread Eagle before you know it! Be afraid, youth! Love to all if you see 'em.

In a last ditch attempt at fame Geordie Mick has tried to create a whole new own genre. He takes his BONGO METAL outfit "How Many Means Bakes Five?" out on the road in September. The tour starts at the Shed in Leicester. The band all wear Fez's to "comical" effect. Keep it under your hats.

Strange but completely true. Ex Julian Cope guitarist and Prolapse Keyboard curlyhead Donald Ross Skinner has been offered a free season ticket seat (worth £650!)in the directors box at Port Vale F.C. in exchange for writing and performing a single with the team squad for the upcoming season to commemorate the "Valiants" 127th season in existence.

I like how this thread keeps coming back.

Appppparently Scottish Mick got so drunk at his leaving Leicester party that his eyes completely sealed up like Rocky in Rocky 2 (or was it Rocky 3?) He had to be helped into a taxi and guided home as he could no longer see more than 3 yards in front of him. Fascinating.

the Oslo Ogres.

Awww Nawww!!! In his new job as a Norwegian fisherman Scottish Mick has been eaten whole by a whale. He was taking time out to contemplate who he liked more out of The Field Mice and The Cure and he was going to post the results of his musings on I Love Music. Now we'll never know. Ahoo! It makes ne want to cry on my teddy bear and sing big blue bus by Choo Choo Train, in melancholic sadness.

― Dougie Freedman, Wednesday, 20 August 2003 15:27 (twenty years ago) link

Scottish Mick RIP 1967-2003.

So sad, to end up being eaten by a whale. A victim of his own deathlist really. It makes me sad, in the same way remembering drinking fizzy strawberry vodka in the park, with a girl you no longer know, listening to a tape she made you of The Fat Tulips, Cellophane, 14 iced bears, the Marigolds, the McTells and the latest Bouquet single, Blub!

Geordie Mick has retired to a rest home, called Sleeperbloke, for slightly famous ex members of mid 90's bands. He has a room in the home next door to to Neil Codling who used to be in Suede.

my blackened soul rejoices in the almost overbearing fear and despair
that lurks within the heart of the prolapse maelstrom.

I remember Donald Ross Skinner bumming the little bloke from Fantasy Island whilst singing The Spider.

I have a picture painted by Prolapse at one of their gigs (might have ben all-dayer in Kings Cross Arts Depot). And one of the hand-painted vinyl copies of 'Pointless Walks...'. Another of their side-projects was Cha Cha 2000. They are really bloody sadly missed.

― Mog, Tuesday, 30 September 2003 14:49 (twenty years ago) link

NB Scottish Mick used to do phone-ins on the John Peel show with updates on Kingstonians football team. I think at the time they were sponsored by Cherry Red, though whether this means they played in a Prolapse strip, is unclear.

I met Mick (the singer) in Paris last week and he said that Mick (the bass player ?) had just got married to someone he met in a pub in the town they used to live in (Lester I think he said). His wife's name is Doreen, and she's quite a bit older than him, but she used to live in Paris.

Scottish Mick has now joined a band with the guy from Cable but finds it difficult to break away from his famous "rants" when performing. He has also opened a ceramic monkey shop in Oslo selling all the simian pottery he has collected from charity shops around the East Midlands over the years. He often just sits there, staring at his monkey pottery, thinking about the time the little fella from Comet Gain bit him on the ear.

I met Scottish Mick in Coalville once at a Hugh Grant convention, he had whale bones sown into his y-fronts and was holding Lionel Ritchie's clay head in the air like a trophy.

Pat from Prolapse has joined a Felt tribute band called "I thought there would be bungalows for the popstars". They are making their live debut at this years Pinkpop festival in Holland.

Meanwhile Geordie Mick's new band How Many Means Bakes Five plough their way through their "leicestershire and surrounding areas" tour. The world's first bongo metal outfit play the Lutterworth Pig and Playpen at 9pm this evening.

That is all.

― Sidney Manic, Friday, 16 January 2004 13:44 (twenty years ago) link

They opened for stereolab in 1996, covering "eat yrself fitter" much to my delight.

Doesn't matter if this is true or not, but it should be.

― Liar (Liar), Friday, 16 January 2004 15:48 (twenty years ago) link

I only heard Prolapse once, a live gig on Radio One. I'd like to buy someof their records but where should I start. Are there any rareties I should be looking out for ?

― James Bellamy, Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:14 (twenty years ago) link

rarities?! just buy "the italian flag" and your life will be measurably improved

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:28 (twenty years ago) link

rarities? i suppose things like easter-eggsplotion or shared stereo...?

― AndyBarratt (shooz), Friday, 23 January 2004 16:25 (twenty years ago) link

Aaah!! Akin to the fucking weasel. Classic.

― sid, Friday, 30 January 2004 13:05 (twenty years ago) link

Get 'Pointless Walks to Dismal Places'. End of story.

― Mog, Friday, 30 January 2004 13:42 (twenty years ago) link

It is merely the start of the story. For rarieties, check out their cover of Gang of Four's "Love like the Anthrax" double a side with "When Space Invaders Were Big". It grooves like a clive barker murder spree!
