CombatRock 05-05-2005 07:22 PM

are you going to want me to edit your profile?

Coma_Girl 05-05-2005 07:35 PM

yeah, cause there's probably too much grammar mistakes to post it like that.

I was watching this movie and i think it was about some indian american people and one of the tribes were called the mescalero tribe.

Forest_Fire 05-05-2005 08:45 PM

Forest_Fire 05-05-2005 08:50 PM

I believe thats the book I'm buying soon

Bon_Scottie 05-06-2005 03:48 AM

I've been getting into the Clash latly. My mate is a big fan, and I decied I'd take a listen.

It's weird with the Clash, because some of their tunes are just supeerior to others. I like obviously most of their popular ones, like;

I fought the law.
London calling.
Rock the Casbah.
Revolution Rock.
Know your rights.
Brand new cadalic.
White riot.
Should I stay or should I go?

Anybody suggest some more tunes I should get hold of? I wanna' get some albums soon.

White Riot! 05-06-2005 04:24 AM

this is in no way comprehensive........but here goes

popular tunes:

Complete Control
Janie Jones
Rudie Cant Fail (coolest. song. ever.)
Tommy Gun
Safe European Home
Stay Free
White Man In Hammersmith Palais
Death Or Glory
Im Not Down
Hateful
Guns of Brixton
Koka Kola
Clampdown
Spanish bombs
Capital Radio One



Different Tunes but definantely worth a look

The Card Cheat
Somebody Got Murdered
The Magnificent Seven
Armigeddion Time
Car Jamming (reminds me of mars volta for some reason , maybe its the girl singing on it)
Charlie Cant Surf
Straight To Hell
Washington Bullets
Lovers Rock
Jimmy Jazz (hella good)
Wrong Em Boyo (cover)
the crooked beat


Police and Theives (ƒucking brilliant cover song)

The Clash is like fine wine , and sweetens with age after a while you'll probably dig some of the more left field songs which will make you understand the total awesomeness of the clash

CombatRock 05-06-2005 08:55 AM

Must listen to:

sketchyjoe 05-06-2005 03:45 PM

He looks like a panda. A hot panda.

Coma_Girl 05-06-2005 03:46 PM

i didnt want to say that he was hot on that picture when travis showed it to me, but now that Joe said it, yeah, he is.And it's true that he looks like a panda.

Forest_Fire 05-06-2005 06:58 PM

He needs some eyes.




Does anyone know who does the laugh at the beginning of Radio Clash? It sounds weird

Coma_Girl 05-06-2005 09:38 PM

i dont know, but i ****ing love that song. theres something really awesome about the lyrics of that song, and I have a photography/poetry project based on the song. :cool:

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]A test they did in the 60s and 70s with LSD and other types of drugs named "acids". Psycadelic drugs and such. A doctor (can't remember his name, wrote a book called Electric Kool Aid something or other) used to give acid to some people and watch how they reacted etc.[/QUOTE]
Acid Test usually refers to how gold was tested for authenticity. It would be dropped in acid and if it dissolved it wasn't gold. So the phrase acid test has come to mean the ultimate test or test that really proves something once and for all.

Coma_Girl 05-07-2005 10:28 AM

oh i see now.

my dad called me from san antonio yesterday, and streetcore was playing in his truck :cool: silver and gold

Brain Toad 05-07-2005 12:54 PM

The way it was used seem to make reference to taking acid and being part of the electric kool aid acid test, but maybe I'm just too into a drug reference here.

Coma_Girl 05-08-2005 08:47 AM

my mom is going in vermont today so i asked her to buy me Passion Is A Fashion or The Return Of The Last Gang In Town :cool: :D

sketchyjoe 05-08-2005 01:43 PM

I don't understand why everyone hates Terry Chimes. He played on the 2nd best Clash album.

IMONXTC 05-08-2005 03:01 PM

yeah but i have orgasms thinking about how much better the clash s/t would have been with topper. terry plays like ringo starr
