The Clash observations thread.

Post by Inder »

Is there already one? I can't find it.

Anyways, an observation: that bit in the Radio Clash vid where Joe says "yeah!" and the TV control guy is all like snapping his fingers — that's awesome.

My favorite part of that video is after one of the instrumental bits when it shows Paul, Mick and Joe individually in slow motion and you can tell that they were going off. Gives me chills.

It'd be nice if that movie was ever completed.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

T minus 10 years or whatever, right? I think that was the estimate...

On any newly acquired boot, the songs I am going to listen to first are almost always: Capital Radio, WMHP, Somebody Got Murdered, English Civil War, and Complete Control.

Musing about Inder's real purpose in maintaining this site is a moebius strip of psychological trauma.

I remembered this morning that I put together a playlist on my iPhone of all the officially released Clash studio songs through the "Bankrobber" a-side, in order by release date.

Pretty good stopping point.

Yeah, even the weakest tracks are still pretty damn joyous through then.

Yeah, if you're too pussy to confront the might of "experimental Clash."
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

This is like saying that you decided to stop sleeping with the women in your town right before you started on the ones with STDs. Do we really need to "confront" herpes? Really?
