On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

London Calling the Punk Warlord, Come in Please!

This is the project I've been working on to gift to everyone everywhere who loves music. 

 



Also to anyone like myself who really, really misses Joe. Joe's goal in life was building a family of rebels to rebuild a better world in glory. He used his music as his ethos. 

 

 

Nearly 7 hours worth of excellent musick served up by Joe himself.  I've tried to serve these up as exact as I could.  I replaced any song that I noticed had major sound problems with cleaner, better takes.  I also added Don Letts' Radio 6 Tribute to Joe Strummer as a bonus. 

 

Joe Strummer's London Calling BBC radio show.

  2. Lovely! And a year-end thought for you. Found your blog this year, so it can't be counted an utter loss! The music? Well, sometimes yes, sometimes less. The storytelling? Always. That's what makes the blog, and your dedication of this to JS, really resonate. Best for 2022 and a better world!

    1. Glad you found this “backwater byway”. As I often say, the music is what is doing something for me at the moment & I hope “sometimes yes, sometimes less”, but that all of it resonates with someone somewhere. Thank you for your kind critique of my humble tales. I am adopting your final statement as my credo for this year. Best of 2022 & a better world...right back to you.

  4. Stunning. What a gift. As is this blog. Thank you.

    All best for the new year--we're due, though at least in these parts there's a lot of hard work ahead; the goal: to do it joyously...the music matters.

  7. Thank you for being around & especially for taking the extra time to comment. A better world for EVERYONE, indeed. I’m now supposed to add...do it joyously.

  8. This is quite a New Year's gift! Thank you!

    Cheers Nathan and to the rest of your friends, followers, lurkers & leeches!! As someone whose been slowly working their way up the ranks, I'd encourage any other leeches and lurkers to say hello once in a while -- it really is worth the extra minute or two. Here's to attempting to "joyously" weather the slings and arrows of another year. Great music will certainly help our collective journeys!

  9. Thanks for the cheer. We all can use all we can get. Whether one comments or not, there are no rankings here. We are all equal under the sway of music for the masses. We all need to remain as positive as we can in the coming times. Infinity goes both directions, negative or positive. If we start at nothing & head to the positive, we still have an infinite journey. There is no reason other than stupidity or rudeness to journey to the negative. Although it is also an infinite voyage, we all ready know that no good will come of it.
