The Clash - Atlanta 2.10.79


this is another show from the 'take the 5th tour'.The tour swings down south into Georgia and Texas but without the Undertones who left after the Toronto gig. The band and particularly Joe were excited and inspired by playing in the southern states for the first time. Money problems continued; with Epic not coming through, the road crew were particularly difficult with drastic measures needed by Johnny Green and Baker.Pennie Smith was at the gig taking photos; one at least is credited to Atlanta on the back cover of London Calling.so this is a great sounding gig but with an edge to it.i cant explain what but listen for yourselves,play it loud till the neighbours threaten to call the police,then turn it down and leave a comment.thanks!

Beastie Boys - Mixed and Mashed


My tribute to the late great MCA Adam Yauch.its a compilation of mashups etc featuring,the clash,joe strummer,depeche mode,the ramones etc etc.theres 14 tracks in total including one which isnt a mashup but is the hard to get single 'rock hard' which samples back in black by ac/dc so it almost is.anyway whilst listening spare a moment to think of Adam and his great contribution to music from punk to hip hop and so much in between.R.I.P MCA
please listen,enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

The Buzzcocks - Finsbury Park 23rd June 1996


Going through a hard drive today looking for a documentary on the film director George Romero,i found this(couldnt find the documentary though!).anyway this is the buzzcocks set from the sex pistols finsbury park show in June 1996.i haven't listened to this show in years and on a day like today whilst the sun is vaguely shining,this is the perfect set to listen to.9 tracks in total all taken from what sounds like an FM broadcast (i might be wrong).I was at the show and listening to this reminded me what a great day it was.The buzzcocks are on top form here and the sound is superb.get it on your listening devices now and crank it up.then please leave a comment.thanks very much!

The Ramones - Barbarellas 1977


this re-post is one recorded by the Ramones at the legendary Barbarellas club in may 1977.i was told this was a soundboard recording but on further listening im thinking it isn't but probably a very good audience recording.anyway,its a great early UK show from da brudders ramone and one that's going straight on the eyepodd when i can find the cable for connecting it to the computer.anyways you all know the score when it comes to Ramones shows and this one doesn't disappoint.so please listen,enjoy and then as a new years resolution leave a comment.thanks!

The Phantom Chords - Unreleased album


A lot of people have been visiting the blog for this particular post ,so here it is in all its reposted glory.
the following info is from http://www.wikipedia.org/ ."Following the 1989 breakup of The Damned, Vanian, guitarist Roman Jugg and bassist Bryn Merrick formed the Phantom Chords with Brendan Moon (guitar) and Clyde Dempsey (drums). In 1990, the debut single by the band ("Johnny remember me", a cover of a Geoff Goddard song) was released in the UK.
However, although an 11-track album (including "Johnny Remember Me") was written, and Polydor planned to release it, this did not happen, and only two one-sided acetates of it exist."
this was a great band who i had the pleasure of seeing live at the borderline in london in about 1994 ish and a great gig it was.they played a lot of their original stuff and if memory serves me correctly a damned cover or two.so now its time for you all to listen,enjoy and leave a comment.thanks!
p.s ive also included the 'b-sides' from the 12" johnny remember me for you all to enjoy!

The Clash and friends cover Louie Louie


hi all.ok id better explain a bit about this post.whilst listening ages ago to the clash version of garage punk classic 'louie louie' i remembered i also had several other versions of this track.i had ones by iggy pop,motorhead,the beach boys,the kingsmen,richard berry,black flag and so on.i thought it would be a good idea to try and compile as many other versions as i could.with all the ones i found this posting could easily have run for several postings,there are so many out there!ive put the ones i liked the best including all the ones mentioned above.theres some great instrumental and easy listening versions here too.so anyway if you like this song and like me youre a bit of an obsessive nerd(my wifes words not mine!) then youll love this.so here you go with 27 (yes 27!!) versions of one of my top 3 alltime favourite songs.sit back, listen, relax and enjoy this compilation of a proto-garage-punk-reggae-easy listening-headbanging classic.then leave a comment.thanks!
