Nice thanks! No idea of the JS link either. It's probably why the algorithm recommended it though.

Haven't listened to them in ages. Didn't thry do an album with NMA as well. The song Dirty Davey is the one of theirs still stuck in my head.
D'unno... the one I heard today and liked was Just the One' - I'll probably start with the album that's on
Joe Strummer plays some piano on that one.
Interesting, just listened but can't hear any piano. Solid song though.
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.

There are two versions. Album and single version.

Here's the vid for the single. Joe can be heard on piano at 1min 27secs. Also some crowing sounds not too dissimilar to London Calling though I don't know if that's Joe crowing or one of The Levellers.

Okay I hear that one!

hey does anyone have a copy of the 20 years of dischord box set and would be able and willing to upload the void mpg video that came on disc 3? As part of my obsessive cataloging of my music collection I try to copy that kind of "enhanced content" onto my hard drive but the void file must have a scratch on the disc or something (actually, I think I recall it never opened or copied for me). I understand there are better sources for this footage at this point on the internet, but I'm looking to back up the disc content as it was presented so getting that actual file would be great. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

(p.s. interestingly, the rarities disc of 20 year of dischord is available on streaming and bandcamp, but the first 2 discs were never made available except on CD I guess. Combine that with the thick book that came with the set and it's just another example of how the streaming era loses you lots of content).

I've found it on SoulSeek, but I'm in a pretty long queue for it right now.

Alrighty, I'll abandon the quest. But, yeah, Soulseek is now where I also look for eBooks and audiobooks before regular web source.

Hello,

You could substitute "typical" for "great". Some synth bands are pretty good, some really suck, and a lot are in the middle - typical pop spectrum but with synths.
