Justo acabo de mirar la nueva película de Matt Damon titulada Green Zone (La ciudad de las tormentas), nada popular, la realidad es que las películas acerca de la guerra se han vuelto algo trillado , no aporta nada nuevo, pero bueno lo único que me ha dejado de bueno ha sido recordar a The Clash (no, no aparecen en el score ni nada por el estilo), entonces ¿a qué viene que en Cuchara Sonica hablemos de películas de guerra y acción? "Rock the Casbah", es el sencillo que nunca fue [...]
In attesa che la perfida terra d'Albione spunti fuori dalle sue viscere un gruppo simile ai The Clash (impresa difficile) sia per l'attitudine politica sia per la creatività sonora i fans della band si rifuigiano nell'ascolto della nuova versione di London Calling la cui release date è stata annunciata per il 14 dicembre .

December 14, 2009 will mark the 30th anniversary of The Clash 's legendary album, London Calling . So, not surprising, the band will look to remember the occasion with a reissuing of the album on that very day. While details remain sketchy, according to NME , the followup to London Calling: 25th Anniversary Edition will likely include a CD/DVD package of some sort. Get ready.
No, non sono stati messi dietro le sbarre, ma al fresco Mick Jones e Topper Headon dei Clash ci hanno passato comunque qualche ora del loro tempo per aiutare Billy Bragg con la sua associazione benefica" Jail Guitar Doors ", fondata in onore di Joe Strummer. L'iniziativa è di portare strumenti musicali ai detenuti, perché si avvicinino alla musica come terapia di riabilitazione. Billy Bragg ha chiesto ai due membri dei Clash di reincidere proprio la canzone che dà il nome al progetto, insieme a lui e a [...]
MUSIC NEWS - The former members of The Clash , guitarist Mick Jones and drummer Topper Headon , have recorded a new version of their 1978 song, 'Jail Guitar Doors' , to help out the UK charity of the same name run by Billy Bragg to help rehabilitate prisoners through music. They teamed with Bragg for the new version of the song, marking the first time the Clash pair had been in the studio together for nearly [...]
When news of Pavement's reunion hit the web earlier this week, I joked to Mr. Roffman that the only thing possibly better would be if The Clash somehow managed to reunite. Little did I know at the time did I know those words could come true just hours later. Of course, considering the untimely passing of the great Joe Strummer, no real reunion of The Clash is possible. But we have gotten the next best thing after guitarist Mick Jones and drummer Topper Headon recently hit the studio together to collaborate for the first [...]
Topper Headon is raffling his mini: Tickets are a tenner each , all proceeds to Strummerville. It's not clear how he's planning to get about now, though.
I'm a little late on this one, but I've just read through MOJO Magazine's November 2008 issue with its nearly 20-page feature on The Clash , with insights into the recording of Sandinista , Combat Rock and more from the likes of Kosmo Vinyl, Topper Headon, Mick Jones and Bernard Rhodes. (No Paul Simonon - he's in absentia again ) For any Clash fan, it's a good read - dirty laundry all the way, with insights into messy drug stories, Strummer's conflicts between emerging success [...]
By the time The Clash released Combat Rock in 1982, the band was on the verge of total collapse. The group had let go of a phenomenal drummer, Topper Headon, due to his growing addiction to heroin. Meanwhile, the remaining members of the band were at war as well. Singer/guitarist Joe Strummer and bass player Paul Simonon were becoming increasingly annoyed with the antics of guitarist/singer Mick Jones. The punk rock band that had taken flight in 1977 was suddenly falling apart after a remarkable five year run. How many other bands can cram three single, one double [...]
This has been an eventful year at retail for The Clash; not bad for a band that imploded almost a quarter century ago. Earlier this year saw DVD releases of Revolution Rock, a collection of live performances and TV appearances, and The Future is Unwritten, Julian Temple's acclaimed documentary on the life of Joe Strummer. This month, there has been a new record, Live at Shea Stadium, and an upscale coffee table book (very punk rock!) that doubles as the band's official biography. It makes you wonder: has the bottom of the barrel been scraped clean, or can more [...]
