the only band that matters thread
to do this proper i should emded the first 15 seconds of "this is radio clash" as the mechanism to start this thread.
the band is in the r+r hall of fame
joe strummer is dead
there's a dozen or so documentaries out there
sandinista = their middle period
please chime in.

- Always a pleasure with a visit from you.
Am I the only one who have no clue what this post is about ?
- Besides these guys:
certainly an interesting time to catch "the clash". although there is just no getting around the fabric of THE MUSIC was ushered out of the band with mick + topper exiting. highly encourage viewing the r+r induction comments contrasted with the rise and fall of the clash documentary. things just don't add up and maybe distance between the two points in time has all to do with it.
while i have a buttload of clash recordings i still fall prey to my library catalog...a 2 disc set called the clash hits back was in stock so i grabbed it and have been playing it around the clock at the expense of my other pick-ups. i mean you play 2 discs of the clash and then give likke li a spin and you go right back to clash and return the other to the library.
i mean, krrriiiiiiiiiist. who starts off a song like "this is radio clash"??? who else constructs "ghetto defendant"??? as emotive as "let me tell you about your blood, bamboo kid. it ain't coca-cola, it's rice." is, the music to "straight to hell" is equally vital.
there is so much to the clash and its just sitting by the side of the curb these days. there really only is one band that matters. clink.
but in playing the X card, you've opened a whirling dirvish within a whirling dirvish.
!!!
i caught X 2x and would see them again in a heartbeat. just heard a live outtake recently - just a few tracks by them recorded in the past few months (the satellite radio channels love this added programming) and John prefaced one song as a source of individual pride - it's endureance truly resonates with him. SEE HOW WE ARE.
what really could use some exploring in these parts is the connection to Chris D and the Divine Horsemen era. if i recall, this was a bunch of dark catholicism set to garage quality music. am i wrong???
