EGOTRIP LAND | 'ROCK' MIXTAPE REUP COVERAGE

Nice to see EgoTripLand posting and linking up the 'Monkeys Rock' mixtape the other day. Means a lot, a great magazine turned website and 'The Ego Trip Book Of Rap Lists' is, still, a classic. If you've not got a copy, grab one from here.

BACK IN THE DAY | IN THE CITY MUSIC CONVENTION | PRE-EVENT PROMO BROCHURE 1993

Went for an excellent meal at Mr Coopers Garden Restaurant tonight which is located at The Midland Hotel, Manchester and so brought back various In The City memories - below are page photos from the 'In The City 1993 promo brochure' - kinda defines it as well as anything can... 

Spot anyone you know...?

LOFFEL POSTER ARCHIVE | 2012 - 2014

Not for any particular reason but after putting together an archive of various Eighty Six posters, I thought I'd do similar for Löffel, the irregular Sunday afternoon session that takes place at The Spoon Inn, Manchester.

A selection of posters from the first Löffel through to the next, Sunday November 30th.

Next one first for clarity...

 

& here's some audio from the last one...

Löffel | Sunday November 30th | The Spoon Inn Chorlton Manchester M21

So after somewhat of a hiatus, Löffel returns to The Spoon Inn for a late autumn session on Sunday November 30th. Expect a very lo-tempo soundtrack of folk, dub, electronics and various other musics that fit in-between. 

DJs will be Jeffo from Eighty Six and Tom from aA. 
Free in as ever & starting around 2pm. Not sure on the finish time as yet.  Facebook event thing here.

The Spoon Inn's excellent food and drink menu will be available all afternoon. Think coffee, cake, beers and snacks... 

As an audio guide, here's the recording from Löffel last July...

NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM | GREENWICH LONDON | PHOTOGRAPHY

Whilst in London the other day for MozFest (more on that to follow), I popped by the National Maritime Museum, located in the nautically-themed Greenwich, for a quick look round - photos below...the sea is history...

 

 

Also, as it's Greenwich, passed by the Cutty Sark...
