Joe Strummer 1952 -2002

Today marks the 8th anniversary of Joe Strummer's death from an undiagnosed congenital heart defect. I'll be playing London Calling tonight, and whatever your favourite song or album by Joe or The Clash, i'd suggest you do the same.


Thanks for the music, Joe. Let it roll!


In other news, since the band are Clash disciples, I am currently drafting (yes, really) my views on 'Chamberlain Waits' by The Menzingers. it will be up tonight or tomorrow, I promise. That should keep the impatient (and non-existent) hordes at bay.
