You know that thing when you really love a band and see them many times and once fly half way round the world to watch them play a bar in St Kilda and then 25yrs later they buy your records?well yes exactly that. What a bloody lovely thing x

As they return from a 26 year studio hiatus, Prolapse speak to Derek Walmsley about the benefits and pitfalls of defying the 90s mainstream, self-sabotage, empathy with the downtrodden and the growing spectre of mortality

Predictably Krankenhaus was utterly epic

The Popty Ping Recording Company @poptypingrecds.bsky.social · Aug 25

How on earth did you find that ?

The Popty Ping Recording Company @poptypingrecds.bsky.social · Aug 23

I wore mine in Toronto this past weekend and my son was like, "Do you wear a Popty Ping shirt everywhere we go?" (I have 3, so kinda yeah.) And then I told him how one day there will be a Christmas one, and I'll buy that too. (When's that one coming, btw?)

Now there’s an idea. I’ll ask the art department @danielorton.bsky.social ?

like great radio? (I genuinely do). BBC 4 extra currently has the original 83 version of When the Wind Blows (the radio play version of the Briggs book) on BBC Sounds. starring Peter Sallis & Brenda Bruce it's a world away from the same voice as Wallace / Grommit.

Sounds ideal. I suspect I’d mostly wander down the hill for lunch in the pub and back up again!

The Popty Ping Recording Company @poptypingrecds.bsky.social · Aug 19

I'm guessing you're literally almost on your own in a field for a couple of days?

I've done the Green Man Sugar Loaf Mountain also! I'm genuinely really looking forward to getting to Muncaster.

That hill is the only downside to a lovely pint in Ravenglass. good luck...

It’s a year since we released @campfiresocial.bsky.social ‘s They Sound The Same Underwater so we’re going to start posting a bit about the lp to remind those of you there’s 25 or so copies left to snap up….

It’s hard not to applaud this it did make me smile x

The Popty Ping Recording Company @poptypingrecds.bsky.social · Aug 15

Since we’ve got 1k followers probably seems wise to repost this. We put new bands on 7” vinyl releases. They’re all bloody brilliant and they’ve all gone on to bigger and better things. See this thread to understand / here more x

How could anyone forget them or their jumper….

In more new music news, I reckon Cliffords to be the best thing from Cork since the Frank and Walters (or maybe Fight Like Apes). I really like this, track down their 12" if you can, it'll soon prove a smart financial investment

any of you lot going to Sea Power's Krankenhaus festival this year? x

The Popty Ping Recording Company @poptypingrecds.bsky.social · Aug 14

Currently hammering this by Men An Tol. Basically it’s what happens when teenagers are brought up on both Oasis and great Folk music Not enough bands with Mandolins I reckon.
