This is the first of a two CD set, but I only have disc one. It’s cuts from the 1984 Clash tour–not their best, but not their worst, either. Quite a few rare songs will be found here, such as Ammunition, Are You Ready for War, and Glue Zombie. I’m too lazy to write all [...]

Haven’t spread Clash love recently, so I thought I’d throw this one up.  It’s from a show in Stockholm, Sweden, from February 17, 1984.  Audience recording, not great quality but not terrible either.  What makes it cool is some of the song choices are ones I haven’t heard often.  A few tastes then a zip.  [...]

It’s bootleg time again.  And this time, it’s the first Clash show . . . Ever!  (In the U.S.)  Or at least it’s part of that show.  Enjoy. From February 7, 1979 . . . 01. Complete Control 02. I Fought the Law 03. Jail Guitar Doors 04. Drug Stabbing Time 05. City of the [...]

I was kinda hoping I could be one of the few first who wrote about Funeral Party’s energetic, chaotic, brash and ballsy EP. And I kinda am. The “Bootleg EP” is the digital only release that announces this band’s arrival with hard guitar riffs, snarls and growls, and L.A. sound. Because “New York City loves [...]

Regular readers know I’m a huge fan of The Clash. I almost named this blog after them, but instead I chose to represent my birthhood. I’ve posted Clash rarities A to Z, Clash covers A to Z, lots of concerts, Strummer solo stuff . . . But never a post devoted to remixes and mashups. [...]

That’s the back cover of CD 2 of the Clash at Hong Kong. Cop disc one by finding the earlier post. G’head. Dig around on my site. You might find a buncha stuff y’like, dig? As always, a few sips before the big gulp. Janie Jones The Call Up Brand New Cadillac Somebody Got Murdered [...]

On December 21, 2007, Mick Jones joined Martin Muscatt (guitar), Denise “Red” Page (bass), and Allison Phillips (drums) of Taurus Trakker, for a 5-song set of Clash tunes. Sadly, my copy of Train in Vain is cut off, but otherwise this is pretty good quality and certainly good for nostalgia purposes. Plus, on Should I [...]

For set one, go here. 1. Magnificent 7 2. Wrong Em Boyo 3. Career Opportunties 4. Somebody Got Murdered 5. Brand New Cadillac 6. I Fought the Law 7. Armagideon Time 8. Should I Stay or Should I Go 9. Clampdown 10.Straight to Hell ZIP FILE

Y’all know I’m a huuuuuuuuuge fan of the Clash. And by huge, I don’t mean I’m fat. I mean I love the ornery fuckers. So, I try not to let more than a month go by without doing something to pay tribute to Joe, Mick, Paul, Topper, and the rest of the crew. This time, [...]

Last week, this blog scored bigg on Digg.com. Yet the post I did wasn’t all that different from a lot of other posts I do here. If any of you have any idea why or how the rocker/rappers post garnered so much attention, I’d love to hear your thoughts. I mean, I’m not unhappy with [...]
