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!
Brilliant episode. Thanks for the kind words. I'm surprised you missed out bum gravy in your discussion of bands with terrible names. Also a mention of Craven Faults in relation to Prolapse is always a good one x

The guy from briefly famous Leicester band Diesel Park West got me into Moby Grape.
Should someone let the @heraldscotland.bsky.social know?
Haha!
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.
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

Was he actually playing?
I was watching in the pub with my dad (armchair supporter) 😉
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?

“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
My year-end piece is up, a bunch of writing and some lists. Featuring, as it was always going to, @prolapseband.bsky.social
