A Nickel Bag of What?

A blast from the past performed just recently. Ish comes with all new lyrics which as anyone who has been following Digable's live performances knows, has been somewhat of a tradition with this song since the beginning. Far into 'the zone' and thankfully it has been recorded and uploaded for posterity. A shame that no one has yet uploaded footage of the SP tracks which were said to have been performed at the beginning of the show. Take note!

Excellent piece on SP by Dave Segal in Seattle's The Stranger newspaper: The Rise of Afro-Eccentricism

Video

The first Shabazz Palaces video is the mesmerising Belhaven Meridian directed by Kahlil Joseph.

I am curious to hear what others thought of all the symbols. Apparently it is a homage to the classic film Killer of Sheep from 1977, so I will track that down before putting any thoughts down.

Radio Show

Shabazz Palaces will be on KEXP at 8pm pst tonight (Sunday 25/10/09) for a whole hour. Listen live: http://www.kexp.org/

My finger is poised at the record button, in case you miss it.
