Hands of Law

I remember the day I got the 12″ of this song. I remember playing it on my ancient turntable with my gigantic headphones on. Full volume. I remember the first listen to of the lyrics, the urgency, the barely controlled violence. I’ve always said that the Clash saved my life. And here it is the benevolence of Joe, the love of new music by Mick, the fury of Headron, and Paul Simonon’s call to reggae and beyond….

This is radio clash tearing up the seven veils
This is radio clash please save us, not the whales
This is radio clash underneath a mushroom cloud
This is radio clash

The Grand Masters

I have to admit to being somewhat interested in this product. Yes, it’s DJ Hero, from the makers of Guitar Hero. Click here for the link.

It’s a turntable with three buttons and a fader. The tracks will all be brand new and feature folks like Thievery Corporation and Daft Punk. And yes, theoretically it will work with Guitar Hero and the drum kit and so forth. So dorky, I know, but I cannot help my taste. It is what it is. dj-hero
