Clash fans, should you find yourself traveling for Thanksgiving, might I suggest loading the following on your iPod for the trip. Between 1998 and 2001 Joe Strummer hosted his London Calling radio show for the BBC spinning his favorites old and new. Strummer described his show as the following: ‘My pick of music for the show reflects the music that I listen to all year round. I am constantly trawling through music and I pick out the best for the show.’
London Calling is the third studio album by English punk rock band The Clash. It was released in the United Kingdom in December 1979 through CBS Records,.
Thanks to the Radio Clash Blog you can now download the archives of Strummer’s London Calling in total. Kicking off with the King, immediately swerving into sounds from Zaire, this is a trip through Joe’s personal collection. Download and/or stream all twenty shows HERE.
