Thievery Corporation is one of my favorite music artists and they are iconic cultural figures here in DC. Thievery Corp has a new album out called "Radio Retaliation." They sat down with Jambase for an interview.
Their response to a DC question describes perfectly the environment that I reside in and the Dbags I rip on Mac G's World.
Living in D.C. you're right in the thick of American politics. What impact does that geographical location have on your daily life?
D.C. is a surprisingly nice and beautiful city; with perhaps more diversity than any I've visited in the U.S. - only Toronto seemed more culturally diverse. This international flavor certainly piqued our interest in global sounds and travel from an early age.
At a local used book and record shop, I often find collectible Brazilian records and other gems. On the down side, it really is Hollywood for ugly people. The people in power are some of the slimiest individuals you can meet, and the young people who come to D.C. to work in politics are so fucking naïve it's startling.
