Ten Tracks by the Clash

The album that changed me the most is the US version of the Clash's debut. In terms of punk, most people are quick to talk about just how amazing the Sex Pistols were and how much Never Mind the Bollocks....is an important record. While I agree it is a significant album, to me the Sex Pistols were more about aesthetics while the Clash's career, which has many albums and not one, has more weight. The Clash encompass an experimentation in music. It was just punk, but it was ska, reggae and dub too. I think I am more content with the Clash because their is a whole lot more to their catalog. The Pistols had their moment. And in some ways, they were more of a cultural phenom then technical musicians. The Sex Pistols live in the myth of Sid and Nancy. And the Clash is a reflection of the times in England. The racism, the lack of jobs, the living in run down houses. The Clash will always be the most important band to me. I may love Depeche Mode more in different ways, but I never forget how the Clash altered my being.

You should watch the Clash documentary Westway to the World. I think you might like it.

Hourglass

I should have posted these a week or two ago. Now that I have fully processed Dave Gahan's Hourglass; I am in love with it. Here are my three picks, the more upbeat songs.



The single of the disc, Kingdom.





True story, Dave recorded this album in New York City and on this track, you can hear a cop car go off for like half a second. He decided to leave it in the song. I kinda like it in there. It fits. And this is an amazing song.

Endless



Sexy, sexy, sexy. That is all.

Deeper and Deeper

Depeche Mode should name an album "Songs About Bondage and Domination."

I Just Wanna Celebrate

Tuesday marks the day for both the new Wu Tang album. Which leaked and I somehow never got a copy of. And Tuesday is the release for Ghostface Killah's new album, The Big Doe Rehab. So, I give you;







Celebrate by Ghostface



Also, Superbad comes out on DVD Tuesday. Grab the soundtrack too. It's amazing.
