Maybe not essential to your rock 'n roll collection, but definitely essential to your Clash collection. This is Joe Strummer growing up, playing songs that were his stepping stones to The Clash. This band is how Mick Jones met him and the rest is history. There are some great songs on here, but a lot of it is just Joe Strummer just revving up to be in his creative explosion, only a few months away. I have one vinyl of theirs, repressed unfortunately, but I definitely recommend this CD over the vinyl, there's more here. Get it HERE!!!

Clearwater Ahead, Indeed

Some great news everyone!

For one, I got a new iPod for birthday, which can hold, like, a million times as much music as my last one. So I am quickly trying to fill it up, and it's fantastic!

Secondly, I got my CD drive fixed, so I have also been spending hours upon hours of the last month or so uploading albums, collections, and videos. I have an awful lot uploaded already that will be making its way onto the blog soon.

Spread the word of this blog, because I'm deliberately trying to get things out there that you won't find elsewhere. The Mark E. Smith documentary is a perfect example of that!

I am also currently trying to get the entire 15-CD set of Hank Williams' Mothers Best radio recordings downloaded through a torrent. It's been over a week and so far I'm at 58.5%, and right now it's in dead water. As soon as I have it up here, so then will you. They just released, this week as a matter of fact, a 3-CD set of select recordings from those, but that's only 3 CDs out of 15. I would happily buy the 15 CD set, quite frankly. However, they're not giving me the 15, so I'm getting it where I can.

Thank you all for the comments! Every comment is one more reason to keep doing this! Thanks again!

I found out about this band through The Smiths. I was reading about a song called "William, It Was Really Nothing," and supposedly the song is about the lead singer of this band. I had never heard of The Associates before, so I figured they were worth a listen. This is the only album I've heard so far, but so far I like them an awful lot! So, if nothing else, this is a good introductory album. Enjoy!!

Television - Summerstage (06/16/2007)

Disc 1:
1. Introduction
2. 1880 Or So
3. Balloon
4. Venus
5. Little Johnny Jewel
6. Prove it
7. Frustration

Disc 2:
1. Glory
2. The Sea
3. Persia
4. Marquee Moon

This band should really do some international touring as a reunion project. For one, so I can finally see them play live. Secondly, there are so many bands doing it, but Television is one of the few bands that could pull it off without it being embarrassing. This bootleg proves that they still have it and that they still can rip on guitar like no other, and why so many bands are failing at trying to mimic their sound and their chemistry. With limited space on my hard drive, I don't keep bootlegs unless they're either of a special nature (like The Greedies bootleg I posted a while ago) or they're just really fucking good. This one is both. Get it RIGHT HERE!!!

Hello kids! Claudius is back! We're going to start with something different, but amazing nonetheless. I don't own very many jazz records, I'm slowly easing my way into the genre on all fronts. This is so far one of my very favorites, along with John Coltrane's "Ascension" and "A Love Supreme." In case you're wondering which one is Mr. Jamal, he's the pianist, and he will blow your mind. Get it HERE!
