Re: Pic of Joe and Ari Up

seems probable. never seen it, from wikipedia: The constant presence of punk music led to Ari experimenting with it herself, learning to play the guitar from the Clash's Joe Strummer. By the late 1970s, the Slits were touring as the opening act for the Clash. Ari Up's love of reggae led the Slits in...

Re: 12 Lesser Clash songs vs Cut the Crap songs Poll 8

I want to hear someone argue DIAS over 3CT. And I don't dislike DIAS. One is the best song on a bad album, the other is the worst song on a good album, and yet there's still infinity in between. DIAS doesn't give me a headache, which is more than I can say for anything on CtC. I'd pick the live or ...

Re: EET Week 2023

Did the shark sight piranha or what? I want to get EET! I think I have an idea for some polls. I take the worst 12 Clash songs (in my opinion) and pit them against the 12 CTC songs. Just see see if there is a worse Clash album than CTC lurking out there. yes, please. this one is pretty crap - prote...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

pretty fab modernistic graphic design on them gitanes from france .

Mr Dread, echoing what has previously been said here. Thank you for your skills and hard work. Gallop Your Donkey would have been a hit single if released in 1989 in the UK.
yup, thanks marky. gallop your donkey is mesmerizing, was confused at first and didn't gasp it was all your work.

Re: Earthquake Weather Redux

I did some skimming and sampling and I think you've made this unsightly, unloved child of Joe's a lot more presentable, even, perhaps, likeable. :cool: This version really does make it a much better listen. :approve: Just saving us from having to hit "skip" on *that track* made it superior! :lol: I...

not great images per se but i'm still a sucker for burroughs and ginsberg since i was young. not that i find everything about the beat era to be true or valid.
Ginsberg is an advocate for paedophilia. Horrible man.
i know. he was a member of NAMBLA. no good.
