If Music Could Talk

In honor of their 50th anniversary here is a colorized image of their first album, I like the B/w better. Shot just across the street from my apartment. Now where the hell is the EOTC superdeluxe?!!!!!!!

Randomly gave Pleasant Dreams some plays this weekend and really dug it. I was already very familiar with Sensation and KKK, but "Don't Go" and "You Sound Like You're Sick" and a bunch others had great hooks. The first four albums get all the attention, but there's a lot of gems in their other albu...

Greil Marcus said it sounded like a commercial jingle. But that was the point. It wasn't a pop song in the conventional sense. Its rationale was to get people to donate money. Its audience were the kind of people affected by commercial jingles. Jingles? Yep love 'em. https://youtu.be/iHPZQNtZ87o?si...

I think it depends on exactly how old you are, I'm 57, my greatest decade was really 84-94. I can't say the 80's were that great because on the underground it was pretty violent and scary. In Florida the cops would bust us for drinking and take Polaroid of us and laugh. We had everybody against us, ...

Man you guys are the best! Thank you for the well wishes, I'm gonna need them

Thank you so much, you know after 20 years on this forum I've grow to really appreciate my virtual friends and Clash Crazies! I hope we have many more year together

I'm sorry guys, I'm going through some heavy shit right now and am not able to do this, if anybody else can please do. I may be able to do it later in the summertime, and that's a maybe, but unfortunately can't do it right now.

This has to be the funniest thread of all!

I will check it out, I have some issues right now that I'm dealing with but I will def visit the collection.

Yes, this is right in the Village, so it's just a 10 min walk away. I'll speak to my wife, she's an Alumni from NYU, maybe she knows about it and how to access

Im at Newark Airport. Was quite interesting. No announcements tbough

Aw man, that's closer to it than me and my building was shaking, can't even imagine what it was like there

No, not the tepid album by Joe Strummer but a real earthquake just hit NYC! Never lived through that before, it was so scary. I don't know how people can live in California!

John Sinclair, head of the White Panther Party and also manager of the MC5, famously got a 10 year prison sentence for 2 joints

Watched that semi-recent documentary series about Lennon's murder over the last couple days. Informative to the degree that I really knew very little about the murder beyond the basics. My Beatles love never took me to that level of inquiry. That said, it was a bit flat in terms of impact. I came a...

I've used AI to remix certain albums, like MC5 Back in the USA, normally sounds thin and lame, but I found a bass stem, boosted it, added some effects to the guitars and made a the Killer album it always was and should have been.
