If Music Could Talk

Love Crooked Beat, my only beef is that I wish the guitar was just a touch higher in the mix. I'll always go to bat for a Paul song, including the weirdly hated RAD. Yup I like RAD, too. Let's start a RAD message board and leave this hateful place in the dust. Yes! A Paul-centric message board call...

Yeah, I like Crooked Beat. It gets overshadowed but it's fun.

Junkie Slip sounds like the band is high out of their mind on booze, weed, coke, and heroin.

Dirty Punk sounds like they are on the hard stuff.

Regarding Island Hopping, I recall in the recording of the concert at the I-Beam in San Francisco on November 17, 1989 (again thanks to Charlie Don't Surf for sharing his recording), Joe says he wrote that song while in Nassau at the search for Mick Jones. Yep I guess Joe took inspiration for the s...

Awesome, Marky! Thank you. It's been cool to hear the incremental improvements you've made to this album over time. This one is definitely the best sounding version yet.

He publicly declared that on this day he would be arrested for illegally paying a porn star, and then was wrong about it. That's pretty silly.

First time I've ever been disappointed he was wrong.

Yeah, this must be what it feels like every day on The Other Side.

Wow, thanks Marky! Really evocative artwork! Can't wait to listen with all of these images swirling round my brain. I think it will really bring out something in the music. Enjoy mate. And grab the Combat Rock deluxe set also. Yikes, how did I miss that! Haha. Thanks again Marky. It looks incredible.

New Radicals. Apart from producing one of the worst songs of that terrible decade, that band name is inane. It sounds like a focus group compromise. I'd add a lot of "New ____ " names to the list. New Order, New Edition, New Pornographers. Probably a few more. It just feels lazy. The New Originals ...

In our modern times I'd say that a group has to have a name that is easy to Google. The Descendents offshoot band All has a truly terrible name for this reason. Search engines have gotten smarter over time, but back in the early 2000s (when it actually mattered for them) they had perhaps the most u...
