During The Roots whirlwind European tour, ?uestlove found time to swing by the BBC Radio 1 studios and talk to Giles Peterson. Listen to the interview where ?uesto talks music, politics, and… The Dixie Chicks?
Another audio interview treat, this time with Jazzy Jeff. Since the 45 minute interview ended up being too long for print, we get the mp3s and the actual audio. Listen up as Jeff dishes on Will, Philly, New York rappers, Jive, Hollywood, Skillz, his favorite DJ, Serato, and more.
Fresh off the road, Roots guitarist Capn’ Kirk made a celebrity appearance last night in Brooklyn. I ran into him at a Burnt Sugar concert, his old band, where he sat in, one of five guitars, and TORE it up (of course).
NYC, after you watch The Roots perform this Saturday at Rock the Bells, and after you make sure to stop by the Okayplayer booth, you’ll be just about ready for the after party. Good thing we think ahead. DJ ?uestlove at the Hiro ballroom, nuf said? That’s right, eff a high school reunion, this will be WAY more fun.
