Year Zero, Broken PCs and Dutty Dubstep
We live in tumultuous times friends. Many evils assault our eyes and ears, not least the heinous lyrics of Hip and Hop, Gangsta Rap, or so an old racist Tory historian David Starkey would have us believe. As I sat watching the interview unfold I wasn't sure if I was more amazed at what Starkey had to say for himself, or how the rest of the studio kept their cool. Both other guests, Dreda Say Mitchell and Owen Jones.
What scares me the most is that in the current volatile atmosphere words like his will find ears ready to listen. One of his classiest remarks: "Listen to David Lammy, an archetypal successful black man. If you turn the screen off so that you are listening to him on radio you would think he was white." This is appalling on so many levels that it boggles the mind.
In other disinteresting news. My PC has decided to take a small tumble off the cliff of good health into the sea of unworkingness, and is now stuck in the lagoon of OHFUCKIT! Seeing as I have zero funds, I'm currently using an extremely old, slow and clunky laptop. This is not ideal.
The world might be coming down round our ears, but there's always time for a glitchy dubstep mix. Check it.
