If Music Could Talk

Hahahaha. Don’t know if this has already been posted or not. “We tried reasoning with her and she just kept responding that she was a member of this “KISS” army.”
Which one are you Heston?

Hot take: Flowers of Romance is the best PIL album.

Fascinating book.

Thank you again, guys, for your kind words! The article is really great written (and edited)! I‘m still overwhelmed by the response... I know of a bunch of small indie labels who do vinyl pressings. I’m not sure whether it would breach copyright (90% sure it probably would) but something like this ...

As this is a GEER thread I'll leave this here. https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/thin-lizzy-rock-legends-box-set/ I’m mighty tempted but I’m afraid my CD collection mostly collects dust these days. I have the complete funhouse sessions boxset for example and it’s kind of nice and pretty to look a...

DMX was a big presence in my high school life and would pop up in grand ways (usually involving high school friends) in the years since. And Then There Was X was one of the few hip hop records I bought before really doing a deep dive at the end of high school and the big singles from those three al...

Interesting bit at the end there about Joe not liking braggadocios rap music. I wonder what he thought of NWA and Public Enemy. He bigs up Run DMC during the 1984 Scargill show. Dunno if they fit the bill for braggadocio rap. Hello, I wouldn't think any of the groups mentioned are considered bragga...

I suppose logistically there were two alternative routes. A single album packed with killer tunes that the critics, however hard they tried, would have found difficult to fault. I'm sure they'd have nitpicked anyway, about thinness of the sound, thematic subjects, or whatever else might occur to th...

They shouldn't bomb the cities or the people, but they should bomb the nuke facilities they are building. Iran is a terror sponsoring state that is currently supplying weapons that kill U.S. soldiers and they want Israel and the U.S. wiped off the planet. They must not get nukes at all costs. Iran ...

It was my first Clash album after becoming a fan. I think all I'd heard at that point was hitsville and bankrobber so had no real idea what the clash should sound like. Pretty much loved it unconditionally and then moved onto the other stuff. As for reception, I'd wonder how they were ever going to...

I'm curious about this. Was there a huge backlash? Seems like most people embraced it. Those who were more close minded probably got off board with them after LC anyhow. Still I could see S! being hugely jarring just the same. I know for me personally it took years of fandom and maturity for me to ...

Just found this pretty interesting. Supposedly from Don Letts archive.

San Fransisco is a wealthy yuppie shithole dystopia. If you ever want to see wealth inequality in action, there you go. Not quite at the level of Hong Kong and people sleeping in cages but headed there...
