Greetings listeners.well after a long lay off re-posts will begin at some point this week.maybe even as soon as tomorrow.i know it's been a while but hopefully there will be semi regular postings happening.Apologies for those of you waiting for re-posts you have requested, yours will be dealt with first i promise.so keep watching and i'll see you this week at some point.Gracias!!

Repost requests

2 people have left repost requests for Ranking Roger and Captain Sensible.I know i definitely have the RR set and i probably have the CS one also.BUT im away at some point from tomorrow and wont be around for a month or so but i will get on it as soon as im back.Please remind me around the end of August and ill get on it.thanks very much

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!

Atlanta 79

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!

MIXED AND MASHED

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!
