Comment:
Whilst I am unwilling to glamourise the rioting and chaos that currently reign on the streets of France, I feel it is a subject as worthy of our attention as another self-absorbed portrait of doomed romance or collection of songs about geese.Two weeks ago the French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy visited one of the suburban ghettos of Paris and was surprised to receive a feisty welcome of bottles and stones. He should know that if people are economically and socially excluded, eventually they will fight back. Instead he dismissed the youths as 'gangrene' and 'scum', implicitly condoning French society's continued rejection of the African and Arab underclasses, and the French police's ruthless brutality towards them.
The next day two black teenagers died after a police chase in Paris and the streets have burned every night since in Paris, Marseille, Toulouse, even Strasbourg. Last night in Paris alone 1400 cars were set alight. Pirate radio stations were apparently continuing to broadcast from the tower blocks and here's some songs that they may or may not have been playing.
Feedback:
nice mix, alma. very nice. perhaps these riots will open eyes and ears to the inequality of the African & Arab immigrants. sadly, in the eyes of many, the riots may serve to justify past and future police brutality and discrimination by the ruling classes.
Excellent. Love the PE -> Tricky and Rachid Taha through Nina Simone bits.
Nice mix.
If they weren't playing these songs, they should've been. Nice mix.
Outstanding! There isn't enough Linton Kwesi 'round here; that PE -> Tricky is indeed worthy of love...
This is frickin' gorgeous. Let me know if you'd like to trade.
Hey, just come across this one. Looks fantastic and, as a French student (i.e. of French rather than being French...) I feel quite ashamed that I don't know everything on here. That said, what I do know, I like very much indeed, especially the last 2 tracks, and the Clash pick.
Wow. I'm awestruck. Fantastic mix, too bad about the inspiration. I knew they'd sweep it under the rug, just like '68, as a politically insignificant blip in space-time.
