Name dropping, a mescaleros update, baby fashion
Good Day ~ A few Clash updates as I’ve been spinning a little finding time to write. I know a lot of people like the Global A Go Go page – and I’ve just updated it. Lovely to see how much of the globe is covered and the UK/US total traffic is really close – a difference of less than 50 visits. So come on England or America..!!
Been thinking of adding a gallery page or audio (mp3) player to the site….not sure which has more value to you lot? I might even bore you with some of the other bands I’m keen on. Speaking of other songs, I wanted to hear this based on the title - ‘Joe Strummer’s House’ - by a chap called Rozinante. I’ll let you make your own mind up, a tribute, a warning sign, name dropping? You decide.
If I had some friends who had a baby in the house I’d now know what to buy them. Cut the crap comes to mind….but almost adorable.
Joe and the Mescaleros
Six years since the ties with the Mescaleros were effectively cut short it’s great to see Martin Slattery and Antony Genn making music. The Hours new (2nd) album See The Light is getting great press and I like all I’ve heard. Please check out their page – and also the video interview therein where inevitably Joe Strummer is briefly discussed. I’ll hunt down the album and provide more info soon, in the meantime they are doing alright supporting u2 of all people. Unofficial rumour that a live Joe Strummer and Mescaleros album might be in the works, will keep you posted.
There’s been a lot of polls on the blog lately so with some interest I had a look at this one for ‘Best Clash Album’ and although the result doesn’t shock me the winning margin does. Wondering if our results here would be similar.
Right, bed time for me (3am…crap!) and more to follow.
