Lady Sovereign, Live on 1xtra December 6, 2004
I just came across this Lady Sovereign live session on BBC's 1xtra, wanted to share it. It's about 25 minutes, a great chance to hear her in her natural element on radio, freestyling and talking over tracks. It should sound familiar to anyone who has ever listened to a garage/grime pirate radio show, although this one is on the BBC and is completely legal. My personal favorite thing is the shout outs to people who texted in. Not sure why, probably because I only use text messaging and dream of a day when phone calls have been abolished. The grime kids seem ahead of the curve on that, substituting texting for the tradional call into the studio.
Not much to add to this set, it really just makes me wish that I could come up with more pirate shows and grime tunes. If you have anything or know where I should be looking, holler at your bol. Love the freestyle about looking so young and not be able to get served, funny stuff.
-Grab the Electric 6 tracks that Who Needs Radio? has put up, including a cover of a Peaches song and a Peaches cover of Electric 6's "Gay Bar." I am sad to say that I don't know much about Electric 6, but definitely plan to remedy that. This is also a nice chance to get ready for our next grrl power focus...
-Peaches, Pound for Pound favorite, legend, one of the greatest of all-time. We'll look at her new album, some her remixes, her older shit and a surprise or two. Be excited.

The download has expired - any idea where it was on the 1Xtra site? I can only find an interview.
Good work with the Peaches stuff, by the way!
