Source: Wikipedia
The Clash were an English punk rock band who were active from 1976 to 1986. They were one of the most successful and iconic bands from the original wave of punk rock in the late 1970s, and went on to incorporate punk with reggae, rockabilly, dance, jazz, ska, and eventually many other music styles into their repertoire.

1I was fortunate to have been a teenager/college student during the halcyon days of punk rock, and was fortunate to have experienced the electric feeling when bands like the Ramones, the Damned, and 'the only band that matters', the Clash, were in the midst of their finest hour(s). 'London Calling' is still one of my all-time favorite albums, and, in my opinion, no record collection is complete without a copy. Every track's a winner - here's one of the standouts among them.....

Rock Against Racism
(24)
8Carnival Day in London
27 April 2008 - Thirty years after a group of music stars decided to Rock Against Racism, the Love Music Hate Racism carnival is celebrating the efforts of 1978. The Good, The Bad and The Queen, Hard-Fi and Jay Sean are headlining the anti-racism concert in east London. Organisers hope 100,000 people will attend the free carnival in Victoria Park.
The original gig was headlined by Tom Robinson Band and featured a legendary performance from The Cl... MORE

In 1978 the groups that rocked London's Trafalgar Square in support of the Rock Against Racism message included The Clash. Well, The Clash won't be there this year (R.I.P. Joe Strummer) when they celebrate the upcoming 30th anniversary on April 27th, but I expect the event will be well worthwhile.
More info here, and a hat tip to Serge The Concierge for the heads up.

The Clash Live: Revolution Rock is a new documentary that gives an in depth look at their live performances. The film is directed by Grammy-winning producer Don Letts who took on the tall task of chronicling one of the biggest bands to ever come out of the U.K.
The film follows the band from the studio sessions with nobody around, to playing sold out shows in New York City. The film details the history of the band with the use of rare or previously unseen footage that pr... MORE

I have mad love for Don Letts and therefore have no doubts that his newest project will be awesome. The former Roxy Club dj produced a film with rare live concert footage of the Clash which will be released on DVD in April and excerpts will be broadcast on PBS in early March. The film is called "The Clash Live: Revolution Rock" and it will be widely available on April 15th. Letts was close with the band during their heyday and some of the footage comes from his own col...

Can I really add anything more to this review from Amazon?"Touted for many years as the greatest live band in the world, the only surprise about this live album is that it's taken so long to appear. Recorded between '78 and '82, it captures the London punk torchbearers in all their fury--Strummer spitting out vocals like every breath is his last, the guitars of Jones and Simenon taut and abrasive. Even after all this time, songs like their debut album's scathing "Comp

Now, as I understand it, we all pride ourselves on our music collection/selections/confections, whatever. Well, I contend that if you have a collection of Rock Music and it does not contain London Calling ,
Your collection is sadly incomplete.
The Clash took on the world with this album, and pinned it to the mat. The boys display an affinity for, and impressive command of a wide range of pop/rock/world music, becoming itself the umbilicus tying it all together.
With their... MORE

Today, as I write this, it’s the traditional Day of the Dead - Mexico’s annual Dia de Los Muertos - celebrating the loved ones that we’ve lost in the past, recent and distant. For many of us in the MOG community, the holiday has a dark resonance this year, due to the untimely and all-too-premature death of our friend and colleague Chris “Crash” Pryor. On this Day of the Dead, I’m marking his departure from the mortal world, acknowledging the valuable contributions that ... MORE

No band will ever hold a candle to the originality offered by such an amazing band. Every song bursts with an energy and soul that has no equal. I can't remember the first time I heard The Clash, and it really doesn't matter. The music has a familiar feel to it- a natural flow as though I've always known it. Does that even make any sense? The songs inspire me, challenge me, make me feel compelled to take action and change the world. Brilliant. Just brilliant. I wish I had bee... MORE
