ECHO
CHAMBER - WORD BEAT POWA 2
BROADCASTER COMMENTS: Week
2 of the KFAI Spring Pledge Drive and the doctors
of dub put together a heavy, heavy show!
First off, we did part 2 of
"Word Beat I Powa", our annual dub
poetry/poetry/spoken word special. From our pal
Planet Jackson (from On the Wire , BBC Lancashire)
we had 2 cool poems from dub poet Benjamin
Zephaniah (including the hilarious "Talking
Turkeys").
From the Jamaican dub poets Royal
African Soldiers we received a history lesson
through Ginsu's telling of the "Glorious
Past." One of LKJ's dreadest tracks ever,
"Five Nights of Bleeding" kept the dub
poetry thing going.
Then we returned to beat poet Jack
Kerouac for a few excerpts (with Paul Haig's
"Cinematique" providing some jazzy
background). DJ Swiss added the trippy poetry of
Tarwater (with the track "Lower Manhattan
Pantoum").
One poem we repeated from last
week was "Never Here", by e.g. bailey.
Rounding out the "Word Beat" was one
great Jamaican "toaster" that we missed
last week, the incomparable Big Youth (backed by
some heavy Twilight Circus).
On top of this we had a bunch of
new music from Up, Bustle, & Out, Finn the
Giant, Doctor Echo/Who Knows, Messian Dread,
Maimon, The Storytellers, Cherine Anderson,
Natural Black (w/ Twilight Circus), Luciano,
Library Science, and more. Finally, we got a taste
of the Mad Professor live show (at Martyrs' in
Chicago), as recorded by the TurnTableTerrorist of
Echo Beach (WLUW-FM).
Dread....beat...and Dub!
