Spent the weekend in #ManchesterUK and did a bit of sightseeing. Overall I was impressed with how vibrant the downtown area was, and I found it quite similar to #Chicago with the architecture, river front and restaurant/bar scene. #travel #uk

Castlefield National Trust railway walk. I stumbled on this beautiful place while walking around our hotel

John Rylands Research Institute and Library. Didn't get a chance to go in, but the outside was impressive with it's gothic look

Textile machine at the museum of science and industry. I didn't know that punch cards on the early machines were ancestors to modern computers

Went to see a showing of #hailtothethief #hamlet in #ManchesterUK yesterday. The show did not disappoint! Acting was top notch, ambience was on point, and the music was predictably great. Some of the Shakespearean prose was a bit hard to follow, so I'm planning to read the original Hamlet to catch up on what I missed! #radiohead

fuck it, mancunian miku. mikunian.

Hatsune Miku, standing on a Manchester Metrolink platform, holding a yellow umbrella and wearing a teal scarf and grey raincoat. A tram headed to Shudehill is just pulling up, there are grey towerblocks in the background, and it's raining. She looks happy though.

From today's Economist: "Manchester has plenty of swagger. It has the best team in club football, and is also home to Manchester United"

Sending a message to British #Cycling on the day of their AGM. They have signed a sponsorship deal with #Shell, one of the planet's biggest polluters who are opening new oil fields during a #ClimateEmergency #ExtinctionRebellion #ManchesterUK

Manchester's own Ruthless Rap Assassins. 1990 British Rap, uniquely Northern and still an album I hold close to my heart.
Around this time my passion for Hip Hop was waning. Gone was the D.A.I.S.Y. age, conscious rap was old hat. East Coast Vs West Coast, Gangsta Rap was becoming the only game in town, yet the Manchester Rap scene was probably at it's heights.
Madchester, Rave Culture, Reggae and Brit Funk collided to produce some superb hard edged political music.
1990's Killer album should have been bigger.
A sonic collage similar to the Beastie Boys' Paul Boutique beautifully woven by producer Gregg Wilson. Stark political lyrics exposing the Black British experience in Hulme but with such wonderful deftness of touch and sprinkled with humour so dark it matches the Mancunian weather.
Kermit, soon to become part of Shaun Ryder's Blackgrape project, Dangerous Hinds and Dangerous C were at the heart of the Manchester scene of the 80s rubbing shoulders with a Guy Called Gerald (on writing duties on the track B Line), MC Tunes, MC Buzz B and Kiss AMC.
It's a Killer alright!
There is a great website http://www.rapassassins.f9.co.uk/index.html which keeps The North Hulme Sound's flame alight.
There are downloads off some of Killer, their follow up Th!nk, early demos, Kiss AMC and clips from interviews in 1990.
Well worth checking out.
