NPR is reporting that The Clash 's "London Calling" is being used by the organizers of the 2012 Olympic summer games in London. It's a curious choice given the song's lyrical content that paints a dark, apocalyptic portrait of the city. The BBC picked up the story, with music journalist Marcus Gray adding his take: "London Calling is a classic example of a song that has become so familiar that its original meaning has been lost. It's instantly recognisable and superficially the perfect invitation to the capital and [...]
Jake Ryan had a HD disk crash this week, Tyler's computer was out for repair. It returned on Monday, the same day he had to have his car towed to a shop. All of this results in a REPEAT! YEAH! WOO-HOO. (Oh, you're so lucky. What have you done to deserve such gifts?) Jake Ryan joins us via phone from Shermer, Illinois. PLAYLIST: Airiel – Airtight Angels The Drums – Me and the Moon The Clientele – I Wonder Who We Are Eggstone – If You Say [...]
You have to imagine someone, at least in the band's management, had to okay it, so it's hard to have punk indignation at this news: The Clash's seminal "London Calling" is being used in ads for the 2012 London Olympics. It's basically a advertising exec's easiest gimme ever, so it's not surprising that "London Calling" is the song for the Olympics. The ads keep getting knocked off YouTube, but apparently they're starting to roll out everywhere, so keep your eyes peeled. Here's a live version to tide you over till you can see a version with the Olympics [ BBC [...]

Yo no sé a ustedes pero para mí siempre ha sido un poco trabajoso este asunto de hacer ejercicio. Es cierto que una vez que uno llega al gimnasio ya no hay mucho que hacer, y la verdad es que después de un rato hasta comienzas a agarrarle el gusto al asunto. Por supuesto habrá gente que lo vea simplemente como una forma de estar sano y no tenga ningún problema, pero la verdad es que la mayoría de nosotros somos un poco flojos en cuanto a hacer ejercicio se refiere. Uno de los problemas que me he [...]

Everybody has one of those bands that they feel like they should know a little bit more about. For some people it might be the Kinks, King Crimson or Pavement; for me it was The Clash. Obviously, everyone knows their wide ranging hits, but I recently decided to take a deeper dive into the broader catalog to get up to speed. Sure enough, in a few short weeks, I got hooked. Hence, this week's mix tape takes a look at some Clash tracks that illustrate the band's different [...]

Chuck Prophet and his assembled group 'Spanish Bombs' rip through an impressively-faithful live performance of The Clash's 'London Calling' double-LP.
Hace unos días me disponía a acomodar una caja que tengo llena de CD's arrumbada en mi cuarto, más que nada mi mama me obligo, y pues pensé que sería bueno ya que tenía unos discos "extraviados" y con suerte podría encontrar algunos en esa caja. Todo iba de maravilla encontrando algunos discos que pensé [...]

DOCUMENTARY: Joe Strummer hustlin' folks to go see him play in Atlantic City back in 2001 in the film "Let's Rock Again!"(released in 2004). A documentary film Directed by Dick Rude. Needless to say we'll always miss Joe for his honesty and candor. From "hero to zero" his ambition was to be able to survive the post-Apocalypse of The Clash and make more records by just breaking even and being able to entertain himself, his friends and feed his family. Hard to imagine in this scene that barely anybody recognized who he was when to a whole culture [...]

Fucked Up - David Comes to Life Three weeks ago, the six-piece Canadian punk band Fucked Up released David Comes to Life , a record which is likely to stand as their magnum opus and one of the best of 2011.
