Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Glastonbury 1999


the last posting for this evening is Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros at Glastonbury in 1999.this one is taken from a (probably)bbc radio 6 re-broadcast in 2003(i think).anyway its 12 tracks long and features a great mix of clash and mescaleros faves.joe is on great form and dedicates 'rock the casbah' to an ex-drummer of his you may have heard of.the sound here is brilliant and sounds fantastic on either good speakers or headphones.so you really,really have no excuses in not playing this loud,enjoying it and then leaving a comment on it.thanks!

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!
