The prompt is KinkyHappy Mondays, “Kinky Afro” from Pills 'N' Thrills And Bellyaches (1990)
Holy #Madchester, how could I NOT cite this one?
#ShaunRyder, the driving force behind #HappyMondays, has had his ups and downs - musically, more ups than downs imo - but this track, and the whole album really, is vintage Shaun, and the group's best.
Try and sit still - I dare you!

Listening to a BBC Sounds podcast, "The Rise and Fall of #Madchester", has got me back into the music of the #StoneRoses.
That in turn has got me back into playing #BassGuitar. Which has made me realise that my little fingers are far too puny to hold down fat bass strings.
So I'm trying to use my grip strength trainer with just my ring (for balance) and little fingers.
Anyway, I can recommend https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0ftp7pt?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile as a listen.

Craig Charles and Shaun Ryder with a smirk in their voices speaking of the time in the late 80s when everyone stopped fighting and chilled out, for a specific reason that they can't mention on air...

Was Mani the heartbeat of Madchester or did his influence go even further? Let’s talk legacy, basslines, and why his impact still echoes today. Join the debate and share memories of the Stone Roses’ iconic bassist. #Music #Madchester #BassPlayers #MusicHistory

Sans aucun doute, j'ai détesté le second album de #TheStoneRoses à sa sortie, en plus, je n'avais pas pu avoir de place pour leur concert, complet 3 mois à l'avance, donc tout était fait pour que je n'écoute plus jamais ce disque. Et puis... en fait, il est juste très bon. Bien meilleur qu'un paquet de merdes sorties à la même époque.
Bref, j'adore ce disque.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nu5YLoaxHc&list=PLHTo__bpnlYX4u_3tkQjDJn4ueOST5JLT

Just was made aware that the #StoneRoses innovative #BritPop bass player Mani passed away. His fluid & funky Rickenbacker 4005 basslines helped form a unique sonic perspective, adding dance floor sensibilities to their psychedelic pop pastiche, that helped make their early records so refreshing, influential and successful.
Gary "Mani" Mounfield's "baggy" style of string plucking is clearly noticeable on records like "She Bangs the Drums" and "I Am the Resurrection"...The Stone Roses' split in mid 90's after the 5 year drug addled wait for only their 2nd album, and Mani soon joined another key UK scene band, Primal Scream where his work was lauded with NME's tongue in cheek "Godlike Genius Award" in 2007. He stayed with #PrimalScream thru 2011 and later he reunited with the 'Roses on some 21st century farewell tours and recordings.
The Stone Roses'very first break thru music videos in 1989 were shot far from their #Madchester home base, thousands of miles away in the Canary Islands on the volcanic landscapes of #Lanzarote...and Mani can be seen with the lads backing up the hazy #AcidHouse era arrogance of lead vocalist Ian Brown in the clips shown here.
Here embedded in the linked page they are performing "Fool’s Gold” and “I Wanna Be Adored,” ...

Mani would have been going on a spoken word tour, of his life and experiences, "a brilliant story teller"
A tragic loss

"Just another Saturday afternoon in #manchester" - Tony WIlson
"The birth of rave culture. The beatification of the beat. The dance age."
Also, A Guy Called Gerald's 'Voodo Ray' is an undersung #acidhouse classic, amazing vocalists here.
