Wilson & Womersley

Self-promotion corner: I have the lead article in the current issue of Loops, on the topic of Hulme and the ritual sacrifice of its Brutalist architecture to New Emerging Manchester, drawing heavily on Liz Naylor's excellent Manc counter-history Various Times, which Zero should be putting out later this year. Also the Ex-Hulme website was also very useful indeed. The pieces on science fiction music, the inability of Sonic Youth to die and Prince side projects are all very very good.
