The "set" only consisted of one song, "Carnage". Which lasted about 21 hours. The cd also consists of only "Carnage", a long version and a short version. Though the copy I have certainly isn't live.

I seem to remember it getting reveiwed in the album section of the NME and getting 0 out of 10. So that's them and Stereolab then. Maybe there should be a "Who got 0 out of 10 in the NME" thread.

Havoo my friend jeremy used to have a fluffy little rabbit called flopflop but it died cos of the horridness of noisy guitars.

"Akin to the weasel" was about scottish mick's imaginary pet weasal, who was called Jeremy and featured drummer Tim on backing vocals for the first and last time.

― turk - ham on hand, Tuesday, 17 June 2003 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

The rumours true, Dave Jefferies gets 14 oz per hour, we've got Geordie Mick and his bongos (and famous fez), playing at the next event. (We're only giving him 11oz of the dead flea shit tho' ha ha )

― Columbian Skunk Mine Owner (flowersdie), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 11:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Turk is that actually you? Still involved with Beatglider? I'm sure I saw their name on a forthcoming gig listing somewhere...

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't talk to me about Beatglider!!!!
After ALL THE MONEY I SPENT!!!!!
And now DJ Jason Basin is leaving the TUBE BAR!!!!!

God I love prolapse. 'Italian Flag' was bloody great...didn't like ghosts of dead aeroplanes much though. Can't believe i've found other people who like them as much as i do...

― Kate Jane Connolly (fixitgirl), Thursday, 19 June 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Kate, you're a fool - while The Italian Flag is indeed great, Ghosts Of Dead Aeroplanes is BETTER. So ner.

And Turk, I'm sorry if I've caused you any anguish - just an innocent enquiry ;-) - I'm a Tube Bar alumnus '96/'97 vintage, see?

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 19 June 2003 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I've just spent a good few minutes trying to remember what the name of their song 'Deanshanger' was. I was getting it confused with 'Panshanger, a district of Welwyn Garden City where some of my friends lived around about, coincidentally, the time when 'Deanshanger' came out.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Thursday, 19 June 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Deanshanger is a village in Northants, UK that Pat and Mick from Prolapse used to frequent when doing archeology digs. They also used to go round the charity shops there so that Mick could find yet a another ceramic monkey to stick on his "toy wall".

― Derrick McDerique (flowersdie), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 09:38 (twenty-two years ago)

My nephews mates granny had a pet monkey who set fire to the curtains with a lighter.

― sid moony, Tuesday, 24 June 2003 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard a rumour that Geordie Mick has auditioned as bassist on Simon Le Bon's new solo album. Remember, you read it here first kids!

― Boris Vian (flowersdie), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 14:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Mick and Pat are moving to Scandanvia together and are forming a band called olag the great. They have recorded a hard house tune called "viking boyz" with legendary producer Ben Keen and the girl who used to be in Tiny Too.

― sid money (flowersdie), Friday, 27 June 2003 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Linda has got into watchmaking (but only as a hobby)and drummer Tim was involved in a freak accident involving an umbrella and a pair of kitchen scales. Sorry.

― sid moany (flowersdie), Friday, 27 June 2003 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Freed Unit gimp Jeremy (son of) Peel is recording an album of
Prolapse covers playing only the tambourine with his 'sock monster'.

the Field Mice were unavailable for comment.

― john hogg, Friday, 27 June 2003 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I've heard that S. Mick has tried his hand at producing, and has engineered The Haggis Collectors (two bored 14 year olds from Ayr)new single, a cover of the Ligament Blub Brothers classic "Big Shoe Boy". It's out in October on Pickled Egg.

― Sid Meany, Sunday, 29 June 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

my grandmother was telling me about her prolapsed rectum last week and for a moment I disassociated to this thread.

Dave Jeffries new Aztec/emo/transvestite influenced outfit "The Salt" are currently working with my nephews mates grannys monkey as producer, at Bogsheds old studio.Honestly.

― sid moony, Tuesday, 1 July 2003 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― sid mangy, Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― DRS, Thursday, 24 July 2003 16:00 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― Edward Fizzy, Friday, 25 July 2003 16:11 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― Gillian Mope, Wednesday, 30 July 2003 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I like how this thread keeps coming back.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 15:46 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― Patrick Thistle, Thursday, 7 August 2003 08:53 (twenty-two years ago)

just takin a break from mah pigeons to tell ya that scottish
mick is plannin to start a Stockholm Monsters tribute band called
the Oslo Ogres.

― John ****ing Lambie, Thursday, 7 August 2003 09:13 (twenty-two years ago)

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-two years ago)

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.

― sid moony, Tuesday, 30 September 2003 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

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-two years ago)

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.

― Mog, Tuesday, 30 September 2003 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

― Winston Churchill, Monday, 13 October 2003 12:06 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

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

― Colonel Poo, Sunday, 17 December 2023 01:23 (two years ago)

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

― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Sunday, 17 December 2023 01:47 (two years ago)

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

― Colonel Poo, Sunday, 17 December 2023 01:53 (two years ago)

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

― Colonel Poo, Sunday, 17 December 2023 02:01 (two years ago)

nine months pass...

saw them last night and… it was a lot of fun! well, esp the first half. donald skinner had a funny turn or something, and carried on playing sitting down and some of the oomph and chaotic energy went out of it. i was like… don’t you want to check he’s ok?

one of the new songs v good. the other… needed practice.

then due to engineering works which it wasn’t clear were happening i ended up in bromley at half midnight. ;_;

― sur le pont donkey kong (Fizzles), Friday, 27 September 2024 16:44 (one year ago)

I was going to go last night but Melt-Banana were playing in Brighton and I opted for the gig that didn't involve hours of travelling (sounds like that was a good idea re engineering works). hoping due to the recording of new songs they'll be playing again next year

subsequently learned that the guy I posted about last year who I think grossly misinterpreted their stage performance is in Coffin Mulch who I saw a couple of months ago and are really good, and can confirm that he isn't in fact bald

― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 28 September 2024 03:37 (one year ago)

I was in the support band (Kylie Monologue) for the London date. They were self adminttedly a bit rusty. New stuff sounds good; not a major departure. Guess they will be back over when the new album comes out next year.
