Currently listening to The Clash ~ Combat Rock.

^ my favorite band. And that used to be my least favorite album of theirs because I associated it with them getting played on the radio and then ultimately breaking up. But recently I have revisited it and it is an amazing record. Just think what they could have become if they had stayed together. As I said my all time favorite band. Rock on!

 

[glassjapan]

^ The only band that matters!

 

[johnbarleycorn]

^ Indeed.

I agree that the album seemed to commercialize The Clash, but it is a truly great album on its own merits.

Currently listening to Danzig ~ Thrall Demonsweatlive, I saw them on this tour, the show was phenomenal!

3 for the Fourth.
First up, a (imo) very beautiful and well crafted song by Mary Karlzen:
And now the past to me is a memory of an exploding sky

As we lay in the dark in the park on our backs

It was the Fourth of July

Next some classic Elton:
Pinky's as perfect as the Fourth of July
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4u8qsw3DIM
And finishing up with some live CCR:
And I can remember the Fourth of July

Runnin' through the backwood bare

I thought this was a really good interview/conversation with Petty from 2014. Gets into a lot about both the songwriting and recording processes, and how things have changed in the music biz and culture in general...and some about the impact of the digital age. And a lot more.
