Viva Joe Strummer:The Clash And Beyond (2005)

This one is for Gobshyte over at the excellent http://mondo-de-muebles.blogspot.com/ I rushed this just for you mate! This 62 minute documentary on the life and music of the legend that was Joe Strummer has had mixed reviews. Some say its rushed (just like this post!) while others point out that large chucks of Joe's career has been missed out. This is true I'm afraid but that doesn't mean this is a bad docu at all. Its not. Don't get me wrong,its no The Future Is Unwritten for sure but remember this is 2 years older than that DVD so that project had more time to do a proper and much longer job. There is some great footage on here albeit alot you would of already seen (especially from Rude Boy) but some great tributes and recollections too notabally from Tymon Dogg,Johnny Green,Jonesy and Topper although I'm mystified at the complete absence of Paul Simonon. Watching this did leave me a bit sad as its clear that Joe had returned to his best with the Mescarleros and was extremely happy in the time leading up to his death. Life is cruel.


Now the guilt trip part. On watching this again,I noticed that part of the proceeds on this DVD's sale were going to Strummerville (Joe's Charity) So if you enjoyed this,then please go over to http://www.strummerville.com/ click on the donate button and give something back for Joe. They accept Paypal as well as Credit/Debit card payments so it couldn't be easiler. Alternatively,buy this DVD!


R.I.P. Joe. You will never be forgotten.

The Last Testament - The Making Of London Calling (Video)

Found this bugger on Soulseek a couple of years ago. A very interesting documentary if you happened to like The Clash (which everyone did) about the making of a certain album. Input from all the band including the late great Joe Strummer (R.I.P.) Credit to this should go to whoever ripped it in the first place. So if you have a spare 32 minutes 27 seconds and theres sod all on TV,then you know what to do!

Maximum Clash : The Unauthorised Biography (2003)

This was Keith Rodway's audiobook about legends The Clash. In fact,I believe its the only audiobook about The Clash. Its a good listen if you don't mind an audio documentary about one of the best bands the world ever had. You might not agree with some of contents or the annoying background track but theres worse ways to spend 55 minutes of your time. Features interviews with the band as well.

Just in case you didn't get it the first time. This is NOT music. Its a talking book about the Clash.

The Clash - Gates Of The West (US Demo) 7'' (1979)

Again,nothing you haven't heard before just a different format. Gates Of The West and Groovy Times,as you all know were on the Cost Of Living EP released back in 1979. Can't be too many of these knocking about so Clash fans might wanna grab it.

Won't be about tomorrow as I'll be Stamford Bridge soaking up the atmosphere as Chelsea FC hammer Manchester City (he hopes)


Tracks


1) Gates Of The West
2) Groovy Times

The Clash - This Is England 7'' (1985)

In many peoples opinions,the last great Clash song and if thats too strong a word,then the last "good" one. Probably the only really decent song on the much critised Cut The Crap album. R.I.P. Joe Strummer.




Tracks



1) This Is England
2) Do It Now

Mikey Dread & The Clash - SPK - Bankrobber@ DSRR (Year = Unknown)

I wanted to post something by The Clash but is there anything out there that hasn't already been posted already? I doubt it very much. This is a mix of the Clash and Mikey Dread, a home made job by someone on the old WinMx site in the DSRR reggae room which I downloaded several years ago. Its over 25 minutes long and I love it. If you don't like
Armagideon Time or Bank Robber then its probably best you don't download it!

Posted in memory of both Joe Strummer and Mikey Dread. Two great artists. Both very sadly missed.
