Joe was the one who wanted to do a rap first.

...and paul had his spoken word vibe.

i just remembered 46664 long walk to freedom, does it belong to the streetcore era? did joe ever actually record that? My only recollection is a performance by Bono & co. But - yes - I'd completely forgotten about it's existence. I remember Mick singing it not Joe? true that. got one with mick as w...

I agree in a larger sense—that "savvy cynicism" is its own kind of cosmopolitan smugness—but it's not unfair to be skeptical of shallow cultural dabbling, especially if it's just about status (being hipper than thou). It's not what Joe was trying to convey, obviously, but it's not hard to read thos...

I think Trash City deserves to take it all ultimately, but I voted against it for weird gut reasons.

been eating out of the trash can?

I remember reading Strummer mixed the album by seeing how it sounded on cassette in a car radio. It has sounded bad on every format I've heard. Joe's voice is like a distant gurgle. Yep maybe Joe should not have produced it himself. ehm, would josé unidos have done a better job with the production?...

she's really tired.

remember getting a cd of CTC and then got another one a few years later. had some changes in the artwork. i can see the busking from movers and shakers. but it's grasping concepts. lyric wise: crazy how strummer could go from ginsberg narco on CR to kerouac dumbness on CTC and then his down to earth...

and try to remember them great nostalgic beautiful moments when they actually had fun making them chants.

Mormons!

what you call a prostituted mormon?

Chuck's proto-punk thread says, "Fuck you, I was pretty bad!" It did at least provide a modicum of joy as brief as the most brief(est) thing. Never letting Chuck forget it is the real joy. You see there was joy to be found. I come here for a few reasons firstly it was for The Clash chat etc. I come...

I meant by men. I should have clarified! I agree though, excellent. Red Angel Dragnet? Should have gone with the Ranking Roger version, as his delivery sounds far better suited to the vibe of the song. Whereas Paul sounds like he's reading the lyrics off a sheet for the first time ever -- which may...
