I was interviewed by Radio Sinus today… Never heard of them? Well, that’s because you’re probably not a pupil at Anders Ljungstedts Gymnasium in Linköping. Or Ljunkan, as we in the know call it. Yes, I was down with the kidz of Linkan at Ljunkan.
As I was led through the corridors of the school to the studio, I felt both old and jealous at how full of amazing things their school was: Enormous computer rooms, fully equipped radio studios…. If I remember my school correctly, I think all we had was one VHS player that none of the teachers knew how to use and even if they did, there was never a telly to connect it to.
So there I was in the studio with a couple of student radio DJ’s… They were quite good, with a decent banter… and I was desperate to impress them. Sad really, but I’ve found the older I get, the more important it is for me to fool myself that I can still rap with the yout’.
I got off to a good start with excessive use of the word knulla (to fuck) and I could tell they were impressed by my swearing… then I told them about pirate radio stations in London, run out of someone’s bedroom and I exaggerated how much I used to them when I lived in Hackney… Then I asked if I could choose a tune…..something British … and I suggested Dizzee Rascal who they had never heard of!!! HOW COOL AM I???
Too cool for school radio, THAT’S how cool!
