Nabeel says: This week on The Basement Nick bigged up the upcoming
Wednesday show of Shadow, His Mos Defness, Latyrycal flow and
televisually crunked MCs and beats. Unfortunately my partner is unwell
so I cannot attend the St. James function (that's the theatre not the
infirmary). My playlist included a minor Syd Barrett tribute and some
feelings on the Middle East crisis, UK Islamophobia and Islamophilia,
Zidane's headbutt fallout, and the Conservative party leader in the UK
saying that Hoodies weren't all bad and that we needed to understand
them. They were real people like everyone else behind those hoods, not
just hip hop thuglifers. Aah, how sensitive. Anyhow, you can read more
on some of these topics at my blog
Topical Ointment.
Most importantly, my track selection was made up of tunes that banged
and hummed as well as being topical. The Basement also had a guest
Sunil Narshai, writer of The Customer Is Always Trite, a short film
that is part of the Homegrown: Works on Video programme in the
International Film Festival. He seemed a radio natural, took to the Mic
like a Brooklyn bomber. Nick and I also chatted about some of the films
we'd seen already. More of that next Saturday. Keep it locked on 107.3
Base FM.
