Imagine losing the three weakest songs on London Calling (for me Lover's Rock, Four Horsemen and Revolution Rock) and replacing them with GotW, Groovy Times and I Fought the Law? You'd have an absolute beast of an album on your hands.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

That and the fact that even you can't believe BNC is one of the three weakest LC songs.Heston wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 9:39pmI still love it but something has to come in the bottom three, and it is a cover.

The Clash Zone was great. Here is a version of it from 20005 courtesy of the wayback machine site.

This brings back memories as I visited it regularly to swap cd's (and cdr's - for those old enough!).

My favourite CCS article/'toon is Why Me and The Clash Couldn't Be Pals — total classic.

Re: Clash City Showdown Revisited?
Just re read Who Did What.
I remember enjoying reading it when it when it was up on the website back in the day as I had no idea on most of it. Remember being impressed how Chris worked it out.
No mention of Lost In The Supermarket which I always used to think was a Mick song for obvious reasons.

Re: Clash City Showdown Revisited?
Are the "obvious reasons" the fact that Mick sang it? Cos otherwise everything in the lyric points to Joe's childhood. I never bought this theory that Joe wrote it from Mick's point of view.101Walterton wrote: ↑10 Jan 2020, 3:29amJust re read Who Did What.

Re: Clash City Showdown Revisited?
I seem to recall there was dispatch where you really made the case for Mongrel Rock, but I couldn’t seem to find it in the book. Was it only online? I checked obvious sections like the CR, live Clash, and music theory ones, but I either flipped right by it or it wasn’t put in the book.

Be cool if you went on Higherside Chats and did an interview just about The Clash
