Video – Mick and Paul recording together! (very short clip)
Hello all – I’ve only time for a short post today but it stands to reason that it’s a short video clip to go with it. I’ve got a few other little bits and pieces also so stick around after the video if you’d be so kind.
This video isn’t earth shattering (I wish it were) – it’s no longer than a 25 second clip but there is more than a bit of a buzz for me knowing the two of them were putting down their guitar parts at the same place at the same time. It is something I’m sure Damon Albarn (who is my age) was very quietly and secretly just getting heaps of pleasure from, I mean he’s only human. Of course I refer to the Gorillaz new album on which they will feature and the fact that Damon’s project take video/music as art to the highest extreme it’s exciting to know a cameraman was there that day – i.e. we can almost surely count on seeing more in the weeks ahead when the album gets released. The clip is below -
In other news – I’m cold today for no apparent reason and pissed off that Arsenal bought no new players.
Otherwise a few short snippets so your trip today was worth more than a 20 second video clip:
Most Def blog gives us his take on The Clash and more specifically the relative importance of London Calling. No updates from the Carbon Silicon site since before Christmas after promises of more contact from TJ – hoping we’re not slipping back into a silent spell lads? Quick moment of silence please as today marks the 15th anniversary of the disappearance (and presumed passing) of Richey Edwards of Manic Street Preachers. One of those strange sad tales that never will provide a conclusion to be understood. I will say that from 1992-1995 the band provided some of the greatest music of that decade and were amazing to see perform live, if you’ve never invested time with them I encourage you to do so when you can.
Speaking of anniversaries North London’s own John Lydon turned 54 – if you feel like spending some time with him and his videos here’s an easy link to save on typing. One of these days I’m going to write about him at length…I just need to find the right tact.
Finally – song of the day that I felt like sharing – Spoon “Sister Jack” - a reason to like Texas….now how often do I write that?
Sorry for hasty post and somewhat over dramatic blog post title- talk soon I hope!

[...] band, which is due out March 9. And this little clip — brought to our attention by The Clash Blog — confirms that not only do both Clash vets appear on the same track, they actually recorded [...]
That song reminds me of some track by another composer which I really enjoyed hearing , but I can’t remember which :-/ does anyone happens to know what artist I’m talking about?
The very first time I heard it, there was a quick tinge of Portishead to my ears…
