" 1979, the now defunct Sounds rock weekly gave to its readers a surprise gift. It was some kind of "Snakes & Ladders" board game about the first part of the Cl*sh career (1977-79)

Spreading over a paper double page (70cm x 56cm or 27" x 21"), the game had the four members of the band, and some tricky cards (10 Cl*sh Cards & 10 Street Credibility Cards) in order to play.

So, i [~#pOWERpOPcRIMINAL#]have scanned the whole set, stitched the 8 parts of the board and sliced them in order to get them ready to be printed if you want to play the game. I also scanned the band members and the card games. You'll only have to cut out the cards and the figures to play the Cl*sh events some 30 years later...."end quote from on line poster.

A man down the pub found the above oddity and passed it on to me. Apparently an online poster/ clash fan did all the hard work & scans from a copy he had in the loft.

I rather enjoyed that video... 8)


Just watched the above video and really liked it. Nice to see Elvis still has some punk in him . It reminded me of Billy Bragg labour jobs and industry tour encores when all the bands got up and did a Clash song.Back in 85 I think.

The King of Comedy
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... _of_Comedy
The Martin Scorsese directed film "The King Of Comedy "
[with Writing credits going to Paul D. Zimmerman (written by)] is on BBc iplayer @ http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... _of_Comedy
starring ;
Mick Jones ... Street Scum Joe Strummer ... Street Scum Paul Simonon ... Street Scum (as Paul Simmion) Kosmo ... Street Scum
Ellen Foley ... Street Scum Pearl Harbour ... Street Scum Gary Salter ... Street Scum Jerry Baxter-Worman ... Street Scum
Also credits Don Letts ... Street Scum (as Dom Letts) but think it is someone else according to Dons book.

Have to say I thought it was woeful dispite the cast including Joe and all.

Also on BBc iplayer is Julien Temple's acclaimed film celebrating and documenting the history of the Glastonbury Festival. Concert footage, interviews, archive and home video combine to capture the essence and spirit of Glastonbury. Also features performances from throughout the history of the festival including Joe Strummer ,David Bowie, Bjork, Pulp, Blur, Billy Bragg, Radiohead, Nick Cave, Richie Havens, The Prodigy and many more.The Joe Strummer footage is the one where he "loses it " over the cameras. Well worth watching . I"am on it as well [not a blink & miss me but look really hard and you just see me ].

Damn Variety.

I suppose there are probably enough movies about Mr Strummer already.
Thanks, RR. 8)

‘Can I buy your coat?’ – my night out with Joe Strummer
By johnrobb on Aug 21, 2011 in Blogs, Featured

‘Can I buy your coat?’ my night out with Joe Strummer

It was Alan McGee’s fortieth birthday party in London.

The club was hot and packed and I was sweating in my resplendent brown plastic coat when there was a tap on my shoulder.

‘Sorry about the brush off at that festival’ it was Joe Strummer. Our paths had crossed a few months previously at some European festival we were both playing. I had said hello but Joe was engrossed in writing a set list and writing a set list was important business for the then Mescaleros frontman.

He was lost in a world of classic songs that had signposted my generation, no wonder he was engrossed. That was some responsibility. Titles were crossed out and moved around, discarded classics and new songs fighting it out.

The set list looked endless. Keep it fresh! New songs, covers, Clash classics and some of the new stuff he had been recording on those fine later albums all made up the set that he played later on which sounded great. The post Clash Strummer may have seemed lost but by this point in time he was hitting first gear again and the Mescaleros’ blend of Latino world music and punk rock with touch of electronica sounded great. I love those later albums and the gigs. The greatest of which was the Brixton gig right at the tail end of his life. The gig was a blinder, we stood next to Mick Jones who was dancing throughout with a bug grin on his face telling us how great it was and the post gig party was like a Clash reunion with a lot of the old faces turning out, old faces with the kind of lines earned from too much rock n roll and tales of excess of danger from living to close to the beating heart of rock action. This was one of this egret all nighters when all possibilities were there and a real reunion of the hat wearing old punks and high decibel revolutionaries and rock n roll romantics. You couldn’t mix it up with a Coldplay aftershow!

We went to see Strummer several times when he came through town. I loved the way he reworked the old songs, slowed them down, dug out new grooves and added even more emotive power to them. There were the great covers of stuff like ‘Blitzkrieg Bop’, tributes and statements of intent; this was a musical powerhouse that oozed life and soul power. The Clash stuff always sounded incendiary and his croaking voice still cut like a knife and there were powerful moments like when the whole audience joined in for the customary sing-along with ‘(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais’ which was becoming the national anthem of punk, a punky reggae party that was switchblade sharp and with great lyrics that perfectly captured a moment.

‘I love your jacket, can I buy it’ Strummer croaked through the side of his mouth like a celluloid bad guy, ‘how do you want for it?’ I couldn’t sell the jacket. It was a cold night and it was the only jacket I owned plus it was a really cool jacket, cracked and creased fake leather, it did the job. Strummer didn’t back off and the price went up but as skint as I was I had to say no.

Not disappointed the conversation switched to rock n roll and we talked about great records, yelling over the sound system about the Beatles and the Stones and punk rock before switching to world music like the Greek rebel blues of rembetika or other righteous folk musics of the world, nodding and agreeing on a playlist from heaven and declaring English punk rock of the seventies as a true folk music of our times.

We then talked of rock n roll madness and mutual muckers like Bez from the Happy Mondays and Joe’s current music with the Mescaleros before hallucinogenic drugs entered the conversation.
‘Have you ever licked the back of a toad’ gnarled Strummer. I knew he was talking about the hallucinogenic toads that Bez had apparently smuggled back into the UK. Whether Joe had dome this himself was imposable to tell over the racket but he seemed very fascinated by the process. We both knew that Bez had some sort of interest in the Toad experience and talked about then intensity of tripping. The conversation careered along these lines from lysergic madness to great rock n roll clothes to records that changed your world. It oozed an intense passion and a fierce lust for life and all it’s possibilities with interruptions as Strummer said hello to anyone who walked past and he really did seem to remember everyone’s names as he was famous for doing.

Deep into the night he made one more attempt to buy my coat but I had to walk back across London and the cash would not have kept me warm.

Sadly Joe is no longer with us but the coat is still around, a more cracked and creased around edges but still cool as fuck like Joe himself was at the time.
RIP joe.
