"Pop's survivor message to the masses" 'Lust for Life' is a brilliant album ft some of Pop's best songs (title track, The Passenger, Tonight, Turn Blue, Success, 16). It was the last great collaboration between The Idiot and The Oddity until Iggy’s eighth solo album Blah Blah Blah in 1986.

I know its a hot take, but I definitely think Slip It In is Black Flag's best album. The title track (and the album opener) is iconic. You're Not Evil is excellent and the constant slow-fast dynamics are great. Really solid effort all around.

i know this is a quite a blasphemous cut for some of my punk circles but i imagine Joe would've loved it, and it always goes down well in my djing circles. a (sort of) 90's hip hop remix of guns of brixton by Jeremy Healy, similar to beats international did just keeping the original vocals intact.

Remembering Joe Strummer today! Thank you for being part of my favourite band ❤️ My favourite vocal performance of his for The Clash is Broadway- gives me goosebumps. I will listen to that today. And I love the opening line...."it ain't my fault it's 6 o clock in the morning".

Joe's Tele, in all of its well worn glory, on display at the Met in NYC six years ago. What a touchstone. Happy Birthday.

20 years ago today I called up David Johansen of the New York Dolls and he told me that the Harlots of 42nd Street, a group of guys who looked like truck drivers but wore fishnet stockings over big hair legs, were his favourite band @punkrockhistory.bsky.social @punkrockempath.bsky.social
