Clash-y 'Natter'

OMG! I just gasped. Wow, that is teh shiznit. I definately must get my hands on that.

And ditto the previous post, never heard of 'Rockers Galore'.

That dvd looks like it'd be awesome.


Me & my guitar teacher were talking about the clash today... well, he's never heard of them and he was like "So they're like the sex pistols? Power chords? Isn't their lead singer dead?"

Anji:

I did actually. Cant remember what it is though.

I own.

I don't remember what Rocker's Galore is! I'll have to re-watch that part & tell you all.

I know they had a sort of. . . rarity album thing by the same name. It had a funky van/bus on it. There were a lot of interviews I believe. I don't know anything else though.

EDIT: ^ Indeed you do own.

Electric Buttsecks!:

I own.

I was #5 before.

Revolution Rock:

Wow, just wow. Nothing like utter disrespect for the Almighty Joe Strummer.

K. SO. I checked. Rocker's Galore is a reggae- Mikey Dread thing, with Mikey on vocals. I almost think he made it up off of the top of his head. Well. Anyway. There you are.

You should have bragged about it.

So. While I was out lurking today, I happened to stumble upon a copy of Spin. Devoted nearly entirely to punk. There's a little thing about the Clash in there, a big photo of Mick & Joe playing and a little article in Mick's words. It's pretty neat, I'd say.

There are also reunion type things of the key people in the London, New York, & LA scene. I don't know anything about LA, but the NY & London ones are pretty informative.

EDIT: Upon closer inspection, it also had and section on essential pub rock which included the 101ers.

Bittersweet.:

Eh, I'm not a bragger.

I saw that and STILL haven't gotten to read it.

It's really short. Maybe if I become technologically adequate I'll be able to scan it in.

The end is my favorite part. Mick says something along the lines of: "It was called new wave in New York, right? We all thought that was a new hair style. . ."

That's great.

Redemption song was in the ten best rock biographies (or something like that) in The Independent the other day

Amen to that, that book was fucking INCREDIBLE.

True that.

Bittersweet.:

True that.

I'm gonna reread it after I read the new Replacements book and finish Stepen Colbert's I Am America (And So Can You!) It definetely seems like a book that needs to be reread.
