Good Morning and this would be Sunday I believe…and guess what it’s not even raining this time. First things first in my previous post I reference an interview with Alan Miles via the See it Loud site and in the most amateur styling I forgot to include the link – thus you’ll find it here and sorry about that mistake. I’ve got a Clash Cup planned for later tonight and also warmly encourage you to forward questions for the Charity Director over at Strummerville - Trish Whelan that we’re going to be interviewing for the blog (read more about that here).

Quick blast from Carbon Silicon first, per the update on their site and Tony James’ sporadic twittering a new 4 track EP is fairly imminent entitled ‘What Are You Thinking’. More news as we get it but its fair to say that CSi are in a vein of productivity which is really good to see.

My back hurt a bit the other night after playing football and I wished I lived near South Woodford (East London if you’re not from the smoke) so I could pay a visit to see Terry Chimes and fix my back. Notice I said near South Woodford and not in it, as most of East London is simply a good place to get your face smashed in, or so it was during my youth. Needless to say my back is fine again now and my thoughts of moving to E18 have eroded as quickly as they arrived.

I saw ‘Alice in Wonderland’ with the chap who plays guitar on the Mick Jones/Shane MacGowan Haiti charity single yesterday. I don’t mean I watched the film with Johnny Depp but that I watched the new version of the Lewis Carroll book yesterday starring the actor/guitarist. I’m not a film critic but if that moveit was an album it would be Sandinista! – all over the bloody place but essentially rather good. Note to self – a six year old still crap themselves at the site of a pretty imposing dragon. Spinner.com put together a fun list of songs ideal for an Alice In Wonderland soundtrack although I think they should add ‘If music could talk’ based on my review. Spinner also weigh-in on the Clashrillaz rumour that is getting to be a bit silly now.

Finally for you a quick interview with Don Letts from the Yorkshire Evening Post. I imagine Letts along with other notables will be arriving in Austin this weekend so I’d expect to hear more from the filmmaker with his finger on the Clash pulse. Oh…we also raced past 400 strong on the facebook page for the blog – thanks all

Lots of other short things to get to over the next 48 hours so please drop back in.
