Joe Strummer - Lets Rock Again! (2004)

In Lets Rock Again! Joe Strummer,the undisputed pioneer of Punk is captured in a revealing and intimate portrait. The documentary hits the road with Strummer's then new band The Mescareros as they tour their second album Global-A-Go-Go. Along the way Joe dispels his Punk persona to reveal a die-hard performer whose main objective is simple - get his music heard and break even. This memoir was shot by filmaker and longtime Strummer friend Dick Rude in the 18 months leading up to Strummer's death in 2002. Not just another rockumentary,Lets Rock Again! is a story about never giving up.


67 minutes long and the time will fly by if you enjoy Joe's music - from the The Mescareros own stuff to old Clash classics. My own personal favourite moments of this DVD are simply listening to Joe's many words of wisdom.


The DVD has many extras (not included here) so if you enjoy this then go out and buy the DVD. You won't regret it!

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.

Joe Strummer - Love Kills 7'' (1986)

The only good thing about the awful film Sid And Nancy was the soundtrack and both sides of this piece of plastic were taken from that movie. I didn't think I'd ever see a worst film than S & N until I had the misfortune to download Green Street 2 last week and watch that! That really is the biggest load of tosh I've ever seen - trust me. I'd rather attempt to watch Waterworld than watch that again.

Anyway, I prefer the B side of this personally but anything Joe Strummer is better than 99.9% of the "musical" bollox forced on us today. R.I.P. Joe.


Tracks


1) Love Kills
2) Dum Dum Club

Joe Strummer - R.I.P.

On this 6 years ago,I got a phone call telling me Joe Strummer had just died. I'm not ashamed to say, I just broke down and cried. Then I played The Clash for the rest of the day. There will never be another Joe Strummer.

And todays post

Mark Radcliffe presents an intimate portrait of Joe Strummer, one of the most iconic figures of the last 30 years.
Radcliffe was in the crowd at Strummer's last recorded stage performance, at the Cambridge Folk Festival in August 2002, and conducted what is possibly the last ever interview with him committed to tape. Featuring the reminiscences of members of Strummer's band that night, this programme captures a snapshot of this musical hero only months before his untimely death.

55 minutes long.

R.I.P. Joe
