Was a pleasure to be invited to do a mix and chat with Steve Pringle, who among other things authored a book dedicated to The Fall’s vast discography You Must Own Them All. Steve’s regular Mixtape episodes have featured guest visits from the likes of David Gedge, Thurston Moore, Steve Shelley, and Fall alum Eleni Poulou, Rob Barbato, Paul Hanley, Martin Bramah, Simon ‘Ding’ Archer and Keiron Melling, so needless to say it was an honor to be included in this show. Rather than going on about The Fall, Steve outlined a number of themes from which I picked a fitting track to fit. Though of course I picked out one Fall tune. Thanks so much to Steve (and Steve Shelley and Eleni for the props).

Very honored on my Berlin visit last week to stream live on Eleni Poulou’s excellent Elope program on the wonderful community radio Cashmere. Eleni (who we know from Organza Ray, Nohe Noshe, and The Fall among other projects) has kindly shared radio shows annually with me for the last few years, broadcasting together live for the first time was a thrill to say the least. Thanks to Eleni, all the fine folk at Cashmere, Hilary, and not least Guapo The Dog for his patience and contributions. Here’s to a future one live at EVR sometime!

Formed in Leicester, UK in 1992, Prolapse were the perhaps the antidote to the flag-waving, nostalgic Britpop infusion to that decade; a chaotic, repetitive, sometimes dream-pop-leaning unit fronted by the duo of Linda Steelyard and Mick Derrick, whose presence and sometimes opposing chemistry heightened the clamor and contrasts going on in the music. After some amazing records, they called it a day in 2000, sporadically regrouping for gigs in 2015 and 2022 before full-on reuniting last year to produce their excellent new LP I Wonder When They’re Going To Destroy Your Face, out right now. With members’ interests immersed in the DNA of such musical bastions as Can, The Fall, Wire, Branca and even Throbbing Gristle and Faust, Prolapse’s full-on rock trajectory live and on record has been nothing short of powerful, and their return to UK stages in October is met with high anticipation from still-dedicated fans. Tune in Wednesday, October 15th 4-6pm ET as EVR’s Brian Turner traces the lineage with Linda and Mick and catches up on lost decades and a new era for the band.
