This week's show is all in tribute to Madchester legend, acid house and pioneering bassist Gary 'Mani' Mounfield of the Stone Roses and Primal Scream, and the way he changed British music forever, bringing his elements of dance, rave and neo-psychedelic basslines to indie music. Mani forever.Albums we heard music from: The Stone Roses (1989 self-titled debut album), XTRMNTR (2000), Evil Heat (2002) and various early Stone Roses singles and remastered live performances that can mostly be found on the deluxe version of the debut album. Also worth checking out from the second album Second Coming is the song Love Spreads. RIP to a genuine British music great and a true Mancunian. 🍋Find this week's show playlist here.

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, I caught up with Jasmine.4.T outside the Baby G in Toronto, the venue of the first show of her first North American headline ‘Tranarchy’ tour! We talked musical influences, Manchester, trans joy, solidarity, her debut album You Are The Morning and how signing to Phoebe Bridgers' Saddest Factory label "changed her life" (Lucy Dacus' words, not mine!). This was a fascinating interview and I'm grateful to Jasmine for her time and thoughful answers. On radio, we broadcast a slightly shortened version of this recording for time, here it is in full.Songs played on the show: Elephant, Woman.The site Jasmine mentions where you can donate to Yulia's cause is freeyulia.com.Touch that dial and tune in live!
