Re: Julian Assange

I confess to being a little surprised by the content of many of the comments. Throughout history, the worst tragedies have occurred when the majority of people blindly believed what they were told.

Re: 1980 Sandinista! and all that jazz.

I thought I would prefer the 12" mixes as I love the experimental side of the Clash but honestly, the 7" are brilliant. More focused and condensed, really cool to hear.

Re: The Fall car jammin

https://youtu.be/r7tUQ-JAgf4 Is it me or does this sound remarkably similar to Car Jammin? The intro at least anyway..... Definitely similarities. Just can't see The Fall copying The Clash. So maybe just coincidental. The drum part is very very similar and that first chord hit too. But yeah, just a...

Re: The Fall car jammin

Well The Fall were notorious for "borrowing" other peoples ideas, whether it was Iggys or even Spinal Tap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-eBFYXNP2M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8M_98vMHSU&pp=ygUOdGhlIGZhbGwgZWx2ZXM%3D So its not hard to imagine Paul Hanley playing the Car Jamming - groove and ...

Re: Give 'Em Enough Rope Redux

To me the Sound System remaster was a revelation and almost a new album since I only had an old CD version.

I cant wait to dig into this to hear this album with different ears once again.

Thanks for your generosity, audio-wizardry and general awesomeness.

Re: 12 Lesser Clash songs vs Cut the Crap songs Poll 2

Dirty Punk however only adds embarrassment to the cringefest that is CTC.

Re: Don Letts solo Album coming soon

I believe that if Mick was involved, they would say so in every single piece of promo for this album.

Or maybe Don wanted to avoid too much attention?

Anyhow how do people here rate the music? Theres some Songs in YT.
