The 'I will not rest until dragonboy owns London..

[dragonboy]

...actually that did ramble on a bit towards the end. only a little bit  ;)

Hateful...sounds a bit like The Pogues at the start. Didn't Joe Strummer sing with the Pogues for a while when Shane was AWOL one time?

Great track!

He did. And he produced one of their albums (Hell's Ditch I think).
Keep it up Andrew. This is fun  :D

HEY SUSAN!!!
Cheers for posting, I thought I was talking to myself & was beginning to feel a bit silly!  ;D

[dragonboy]

The Right Profile...excellent start! I thought maybe this was track 8 it's so good but that's the next one. Drunken ramblings, a shouty sing-along chorus & big horns...love this track!

[dragonboy]

Lost In The Supermarket...does this remind anyone else of Pulp's Common People?!! No wait...Disco 2000? Something about 'special offers' & 'shopping happily'  ;D

EDIT: this was an excellent change in pace before Clampdown.

[dragonboy]

Clampdown...another great track!!!

Anyone seen The Future Is Unwritten? My mate (the London Calling karaoke king) thought it was excellent.

[dragonboy]

The Guns Of Brixton...excellent track!!! (I need a porkpie)

[dragonboy]

Wrong 'Em Boyo...seriously, I urge you all to go out & buy this album ASAP  ;)

This is not what I expected at all. I guess I (very wrongly) thought all the tracks would be similar to London Calling? Silly me

[dragonboy]

Death Or Glory...ahhh now we're cooking!!! Reminds me of a Rancid song. I guess Tim & Lars are fans of The Clash? Who'd of thought?  ;)

[dragonboy]

Koka Kola...bit of a let down after the last couple of tracks. Not that it's a bad song or anything (I'm being very careful not to offend anyone here)

[dragonboy]

The Card Cheat...ohh piano! Bit of a stadium pop/rock sing-along anthem this one, isn't it? Yeah I like this one a lot! Love the piano! I almost heard 'I fought the law' in there a couple of times?

EDIT: A new fav...did I mention the piano?!!  ;)

[dragonboy]

Lover's Rock...The Clash were...new romantics?!!!!  ;D ;D ;D

[dragonboy]

toilet break...

[dragonboy]

Four Horsemen...I was tempted to stand up, pump my fist & kick away at nothing along with the cymbals for a minute there! Great track

[dragonboy]

I'm Not Down...tiny bit indifferent to this one.

[dragonboy]

Revolution Rock...again, a little indifferent to this one

EDIT: could definitely do without this track. Maybe it will grow on me?

[dragonboy]

beer break...

[dragonboy]

Train In Vain...that's more like it! That's the Clash I've known & loved for about an hour now  ;)

EDIT: excellent little closer, short and sweet & leaves you wanting to go back for more!

[dragonboy]

& that's it folks!

Thanks a lot to K for staring this thread, everyone who signed the petition & Greggy (Wordawg) for sending me the CD.

I truly loved it (with the exception of Revolution Rock) & would definitely play it again right now if the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss CD hadn't arrived a couple of hours ago.  

Cheers again! If I disappear for a while it's probably cos someone at Rolling Stone read my posts & wants me to go on tour with & write about the 'next big thing'...kind of like in that Cameron Crowe movie, what was it called? Say Anything?!!  ;)

[dragonboy]

Oh yeah & what Clash album do i need to buy next?

[The DARK]

Oh yeah & what Clash album do i need to buy next?

Their first. A truly great album.  :)

[ManNamedTruth]

Oh yeah & what Clash album do i need to buy next?

glad you liked it. it gets better more you listen to it. S/T would probably be the next best one, their other albums are fairly inconsistent. There's a US and a UK version of the S/T album that has a few different songs. If you get the UK version, you can get one of the singles compilations that features the songs that aren't on the US version.
