Re: Strummer Deep Cuts
Have I said on here that I work at a bookies now? We had a guy smoke some spice out the front and then he had an immediate fit, vomited, then ran up to a group of hoodlums and punched at them, then smashed up a car, then had another fit before passing out. I think it was then that my curiousity around it was sated.Heston wrote: ↑05 Oct 2017, 5:49pmA very casual one, haha.

I can hear the STH vibe in Yalla, but no, it just never grabbed me.

I'm strictly a hash man, and down to about 4 joints a week these days. I suppose spending about £1.50 a week on drugs can't be that bad, can it?Silent Majority wrote: ↑05 Oct 2017, 5:53pmHave I said on here that I work at a bookies now?

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Yalla Yalla. What a fucking song. One or two of the live versions are utterly sublime.

Re: Strummer Deep Cuts
Get Down Moses was another song I heard live before it was released. Not sure what gig it was from but unless I am imagining it wrong it sounded very different to the recorded version?
I had very high hopes for the recorded version and thought it was going to be full on gospel in the same vein as Sound of the Sinners.
I like the song a lot but thought from the early version it could have been much better.

Re: Strummer Deep Cuts
"Yalla Yalla" is simply superb and the mix of keyboards, synths, bass, drums, and a guitar with that E-bow running through it is awesome and the lyrics are brilliant to boot.

I like the live B-side version of X-Ray Style more than the studio version!

Re: Strummer Deep Cuts
Hands down, "Get Down Moses" is my favourite from the Mescaleros period. There's also something satisfying for me that it came out after he died, emphasizing that he still had a lot in the tank.101Walterton wrote: ↑05 Oct 2017, 10:17pmGet Down Moses was another song I heard live before it was released.
