If Music Could Talk

Any one care to post some good Specials songs? I only have a superficial familiarity with their music. Any other TH stuff too for that matter. Their entire first album is one of the best of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Specials_(album) But this song is the one that grabs even the casu...

Like everyone I’m shocked. What a shitty piece of news, especially at this time of year. Terry Hall was perfect in The Specials front line, and made a lot of fine music in his own right later. Condolences to his loved ones. What more can you say? Yes very horrible timing, 2 days off from Joe's 20 y...

I have a soft spot for this song cause I liked it when I heard it on the radio when I was 5

I've told students before that the huge, massive, colossal flaw in the right's claim that there's a left-wing conspiracy, like, everywhere is that actual left-wingers couldn't organize a bar trivia night without falling into pointless factionalism. It'd be kind of neat if the left were as united an...

With the dust settled, and without the shock of the new, US North stands as one of the ultimate Strummer/Jones compositions. I love it but it makes much more sense as two shorter versions. The length is probably my favourite part. Each to their own mate but I don't think the repetitiveness of that ...

This is good. I laughed. Then I had to fight the urge to critique satire.

As a Gen Z kid who barely got into the clash 4 years ago, I envy those who got one of these certifications. Joe was ahead of his time coming up with the idea for Future Forests; nowadays all the high-profile artists/celebrities are doing stuff like this to curb their carbon emissions. It’s a really...

Almost 20 years, must be a decent size

Hello, I'm glad it's not severe. I've often wondered how many people have had COVID and not tested/been aware/thought it was a cold. Get well quickly! I would say by this point a lot of people would have. When I had it I had a headache for a few days and then a quite mild cold, the kind that just m...

Took a bit of effort but got this downloaded. Those file hosting sites were pretty scammy. It's got no track numbers so defaults to alphabetical order, and the post itself is alphabetical too, so hard to put it into a more logical order. For example there's live Pogues tracks but they're not all to...

Thanks mate. I'm still getting through listening to it. I think When Pigs Fly is my favourite so far. Wreckage in the Ravine is the biggest surprise, but also because there was that much genuinely different material and it didn't make 002. Bizarre.

Hey Marky, is this designed to sit in conjunction with other albums? For example did you deliberately not include stuff because it was already on official releases? Sorry if it's a dumb question but I'm not familiar with all the nuances of Joe's catalogue.
