Michael Derrick IV of Prolapse fame

We have taken the chaos ball crown from the rangers

Ha! That's great - an honour. Actually a bit of a coincidence. I reactivated my old ipod yesterday, put it on random and your solo album popped up. Sounded great!

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.

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?

Ian Mathers’ 2025: I’m tired, I am dead/If you live it, then you love it Prolapse by Geboren Wustmann It’s funny how often we make decisions that have an outsized effect on our day-to-day lives in a way that feels (in retrospect) terribly casual, even flippant. For...

“At the beginning of 2025 I was inspired on the spur of the moment by friend and excellent music/culture writer Tom Ewing to adopt his scheme of listening to one new-to-you record every day of the year,” writes Ian Mathers. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8051889... @ismathers.bsky.social

‘New Rose by The Damned is often said to be the first punk single, but Ubu’s debut preceded that by almost a year, and the first releases by Joy Division, Wire, Magazine and PiL by considerably more than that'
