everything was better in the 70's

It was my mother who first got me onto The Clash. She saw them in the 70's in Brisbane, then a couple of years later when she was living in London. I've totally been raiding her music collection at the moment and yesterday came across some old 4zzz compilations, sex pistols, bananarama (lol), some 90's Ben Lee, "the best hits of the 70's" (x2 lol!!) and Combat Rock by The Clash. A few weeks prior i dug out London Calling, and you can't really can't find anything more creatively fused than this record...


So what i was going to say was, Tuesday is The Clash tribute at The Trobadour. Would love to go but for three reasons i can't - i'm not yet of legal age, i'm going to a formal anyway (the joys of twelfth grade) and thirdly my mother and her crazy mates are going..


Only heard of a couple of the bands - Honey Month - heard a few of their songs. And who hasn't heard of YKB... they've got to be the most played band from this town at the moment. Please go in my honour, or at least, in The Clash's.


ps. changing the name of the blog now, comments, complaints, queries?


Noone even reads this blog so i'm sure the number will be limited.
