How Manchester Was Madchester?
Screwing around on Google brought up a total gem--a 2004 dissertation on the Manchester/Madchester scene. Dave Fawber's How Manchester Was Madchester? The Geography of the Madchester Scene details Manchester, and of course, Madchester. If you're interested in the scene at all, you MUST check out the pdf. There's even an awesome schematic linking bands, nightclubs, and record labels. Wow, so effing cool! Check out the pdf here.
