This was my favourite gig of the time in Oxford. This an unused photo of the night (I think). It was the night after The Fall played Salisbury, which was also an amazing gig for the time, when they were in total disarray. Anyway.. @prolapseband.bsky.social @derrymick.bsky.social in 1999.

Jesus Christ

Partick Thistle, Partick Thistle was a Prolapse demo lyric and I got hit by the ball twice in a game there once I attended with @derrymick.bsky.social So definitely hoping they keep winning at Firhill.

🏺Ship burial i Oslo! @derrymick.bsky.social has worked out that there used to be a boat grave where the medieval Kongsgården was later built. Great project management by me. www.niku.no/2026/04/nye-...

Worlds worst flip-through. I found out a neighbour who passed away last year was on the fringes of the Fluxus group. I was invited to buy his LP collection and was blown away by how our tastes converged, right down to the DVDs of The Clangers next to Kenneth Anger. Currently hauling from the van:

@derrymick.bsky.social @prolapseband.bsky.social Saw the brilliant Prolapseon Birmingham last week. The gig brought back a flood of memories of why I fell in love with Prolapse and thier amazing live shows!

I spy @ineeddirection.bsky.social & @wilgy.bsky.social 😃👀

It was brilliant gig in Birmingham. My ideal Prolapse was right there. I went absolutely wild during the closing Flex. I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, but take care of your leg, Linda. Cheers!

Still Hate Thatcher.

That's the gig of the year sorted, the rest of you can stop trying now. Fantastic to have @prolapseband.bsky.social back in Birmingham for the first time since 1999. (Although I have seen them elsewhere in between) Good to see you again @derrymick.bsky.social and thanks for the setlist.

Thanks to Trump’s tax giveaways, Ticketmaster’s parent company paid $0 in federal income taxes last year, and made over $145 million – while overcharging Americans for concerts, sports, and more.

Well done Celtic!

Should someone let the @heraldscotland.bsky.social know?

I haven't seen one of these so far today, so what the hell. I was 25 last time put a new Heavenly @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social @skepwax.bsky.social LP on the deck... I think this outdoes the 26 year Prolapse @derrymick.bsky.social @prolapseband.bsky.social gap from last year 😜

@derrymick.bsky.social hey mate, new fan here, I thought the music was over when Mark E Smith passed away but not now.

3. Prolapse - The Fall of Cashline youtu.be/NwxzD1S7TDg?... I saw them 30 years ago when I lived in the Portsmouth at the apex of BritPop when @derrymick.bsky.social showed a better world was possible, they've perfected colliding vocal and angular guitar prolapse2.bandcamp.com/track/the-fa...

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it. He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America. Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?
