If Music Could Talk

Great article! Their mutual appreciation is quite cool. Thanks for posting.

From the great Trouser Press magazine, which is back in (limited) online business. Apologies if everyone already has seen this:

Thanks, Marky and C1ashCityRockr.

Maybe that Rough Trade site is where I got mistaken idea about the cassette in the deluxe version. They say "Cassette (previously unheard and unreleased U.S North (Basement Demo)."

Pardon if these are obvious: *Unfortunately I slept on pre-ordering the deluxe set. Amazon says it's got nothing, and the shipping from the Ignition folks is more than $50? Will Amazon have it again/is there another buying option for deluxe in the U.S.? *Alternately: The 2CD with book is available h...

That sounds right. There certainly are lots of blues songs that share chord progressions. It's still kind of cool that a genre-breaking funk rock band and a genre-breaking punk rock band both landed on this same sound and came away with their own great songs. Thanks, TeddyB.

A thousand pardons if this has been brought up elsewhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGJXKd_BMvY&index=7&list=PL6F302F6CA24FC1C4 George Clinton and Funkadelic.

I imagine everyone's heard of this already, but just in case: the Joe & the Pogues album gets released as a 2LP set on Record Store Day.

I think it took a lot of confidence for a one-time punk growler to really nail that kind of wide-open vocal ... and I think he lost that confidence for awhile after the Clash broke up. H...

In case anyone out there ends up in the same boat I was in re: downloading the 2000 Strummer World Service radio shows, the program I used to convert ogg to mp3 is SoX Wrap:

It works! Thanks very much, CDS.

Thanks, CDS -- I'll check it out.

I've been able to download the '98 and 2001 Joe radio shows (and a big thanks to all for having them posted) -- but I have had troubles trying to get the three World Service 2000 radio shows: I download them from MegaUpload to my Mac OsX and open them with Unarchiver. But when I click on the opened ...

I'm also one for old-fashioned trades of DVDs. I'd be happy to trade and/or burn copies for folks in the U.S.

Nice -- thanks for posting that.
