When The Artist Dies, His Art Means More...... / 5
Should be 10 stars.
Although I loved-loved The Clash (saw them in '82), I admit that, after an initial brief orientation with Joe Strummer's solo work in the '90's, I mistakenly put him aside. Big Mistake. Then Joe tragically died a few years back.
A year ago I was at a friend's place for a party and I was caught by the music playing, which sounded like Joe's voice but the music was so friggin' hip sounding. Wow!, I said when I was told it was Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros. As much of a music connaisseur as I am, at that point I felt very inadequate.
From then on, X-Ray, Go-Go and Streetcore have been permanent staples in my CD player. The remarkable thing is that they NEVER get played out no matter how many times I hear them. The combination of acoustic and electronic instruments along with punk style vocals and various rhythms is the greatest thing I've ever, ever heard in the last, oh, 10 years.
As I get a little older, I welcome mellower sounding music, especially if it has a punk soul and great lyrics. Global A Go-Go and the other Mescalero recordings are the best of both worlds and are also totally versatile. They are good for parties, chilling out, driving, cleaning the house, or just spacing out.
I typically give CD's that I like 5 star ratings. Well GLOBAL A GO-GO, X-RAY STYLE, and STREETCORE, are all MASTERPIECES in music that deserve their own category of being beyond ratings.
RIP Joe. This music will never die.
Song "X-Ray Style (w. The Mescaleros)"
I see a million walk the city mile
The tickertape kings and the juveniles
Will anybody tell me which way to go
Will anybody come back on the C.B. radio
I'm counting the stars and the telegraph poles
And each one represents the hopes of a soul
You'd think that God wouldn't be so hard
When you see all the little children running, running in the backyard
On a Mississippi gourd with a Sub-Sahran song
Somebody is wailing in the financial district sun
Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile
Gonna make like Eddie on my rockabilly train
Gonna beat out the blues on my ball and chain
Oh, you can't pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun
There's people living now
who aint got no heart and ain't never had none
Down on the border they crawl all the way
To get a clip of living with a clean-all spray
Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile
You can't pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun
There's people living now
who aint got no heart and ain't never had none
I hear a payphone ringing out on murder mile
The sucker who picks up gets his number dialled
And all the sparkling waters that ever flowed
Could never wash down this town so clean that it glowed
And I need to see in an x-ray style
I need some rock art that don't come in a vial
Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile

For all the early punks' Year Zero rhetoric about destroying the music business, most of them were pretty serious music scholars. John Lydon, we now know, was a huge fan of Can and Hawkwind; Joe Strummer's first band was the pub-rockish 101ers; and you were more likely to hear dub reggae than punk ...

Much like garage rock, power pop is one of the most fluid and hard to define genres in music. No one has yet to really define it. That may be because like punk and its early, forebear glam-rock, both of which have more slightly tangible boundaries, power pop is part of rock and roll?s third generation. That is to say it came of age in the seventies, a very confusing and musically messy decade. ...
A fetching blend of down tempo pop theatrics and rhythmic seduction. (IGN Music)
February 20, 2007 - Hands down Damon Albarn is the most prolific and chameleonic holdover from the post modern Brit Pop invasion. While his arch rivals in Oasis have more or less remained on the same sonic path, Albarn has shifted from his tenure in Blur to explore film scores ( Ravenous ), ethnomusicality ( Mali Music ), the outer fringes of trip-hop (Gorillaz), and now makes a foray into reggae ...
