Joe Strummer - Live on the Jools Holland Show

This post is a great joe strummer and the mescaleros mini show recorded live on the jools holland show sometime back in 2000. its 4 tracks  (well technically 5 if you count the opening 'jam')and features 2 tracks from the clash and 2 from the mescaleros. really good sound quality so i can only assume this was taken from a video rip or something like that. anyways thanks to reggie for this, its a really nice addition to my clash/joe strummer collection. so please listen, enjoy and then leave a comment.you know it makes sense.dont forget to include repost requests etc in the comments too or if there is anything in particular you would like to see you only have to ask.thanks very much.

Morning all.This post combines the ruts live at strathclyde university and the freerange demos from 1977.

UK Subs - Punk can take it !

Evening all. Ok bit of a story behind this post.Ive been reading an excellent book while i was on holiday in Galway last week called "The palace and the punks" by Tony Hill. Its all about the ups and downs of a club called The Grey Topper. Based on personal recollections and interviews with musicians who played there, people who went to and worked there, it is a wonderful picture of life and a story a lot of us will be able to connect with and remind us of our youths. A very warm and a lot of the time laugh out loud funny story (wait till you read the one about adam ants jacket!!) it is a wonderful read and i highly recommend you buy it. You can get it on amazon here the palace and the punks in paperback and kindle versions at a very good price. Anyway there is a wonderful story about the UK Subs and it mentions a short film called "Punk can take it" directed by Julian Temple. Id never heard of it before so i asked Camden Dave what he knew of it and whether he had it. Lo and behold here it is. Its directed in a mock wartime public information style and features a mix of live footage and staged pieces too with guest appearances from the likes of Ed Tudorpole etc. When released it apparently played as an opener to the film Scum the brutal prison film with Ray Winstone. So its over to you guys to watch, enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!!
p.s dont forget to check out the book you wont regret it
Punk can take it!!

Penetration - Race Against Time re-post

ages and ages ago someone requested this(i think!)so here it is and here is what the wonderful P5 blog http://thep5.blogspot.com/ had to say about it.

"On this date in 1980, Penetration released their third album, Race Against Time. The A side consisted of demos made between 1977 and 1978. The B side were live tracks recorded between 1978 and 1979. The album was made to look like a bootleg because of contractual issues with the record company and the fact that the band had disbanded a few months before. The punk band, fronted by Pauline Murray, was from Newcastle, England. "

so there you have it.please listen enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

good morning campers,time to rise and shine!for breakfast today we have this offering from mr.strummer and his merry men recorded live at londons town and country club way back last century in 1989.its got a good mix of clash songs and l.r.w songs too.

i actually could have gone to see this as i'd come over to london on the ferry from ireland to see the ramones at the t+c club,seeing posters for this and thinking i could go and see them as well but er.....forgetting probably because of way too much consumption of cider.but anyway its a great gig and brings back memories of a great few days in london for me.actually if anybody has the ramones at the T+C on the 9th October '89 please,please get in touch,that would be super fantastic.anyway listen to this c.d to start your day(if you are in the same time zone as me!)enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!
