Well, I see there is a new Clash ep. Hmm. I haven't heard it, but I suppose
it must be getting played occasionally on the radio. Anyone heard it? Like it?
What happened to the other half of the Clash? I thought they were also planning
to call themselves the Clash.

Life is tough when you are "the only band that matters".

As I understand it, Mick Jones was fairly pissed when he was booted from the clash. He wanted revenge so he started to reform a new Clash with the same name, just to make trouble. He cooled down and dropped the idea (or perhaps Joe Strummer's and Paul Simenon's lawyers convinced him) Mick can be heard on General Public's "All the Rage," an excellent album if I do say so. ||||||| || || [(.)

What happened to the Clash - Mick Jones left/quit/fired and formed Big Audio Dynamite. At first Mick and Joe argued on who was to keep the right to the Clash name. Since the majority of the band stuck with Joe and Joe seemed to always be the head Clasher, Joe kept the name, added three more members and formed the "new" Clash. I have heard one song and it sounds like the Clash! I liked it. I have Big Audio Dynamite and its OK. Some songs are great; others aren't worth the vinyl they are pressed in. So, Jim, thats whats up. The Clash record will be out soon, sometime this month. Martin

According to an ad in Billboard, `Cut the Crap', the new album by The Clash will be in the stores on November 18th. Several people have mentioned a Clash EP. Is this an import? Here in Beverton, it seems to take forever for records to appear. The new album by The Roches just showed up, as did the ones by Big Audio Dynamite and Husker Du, even though I believe they arrived in Los Angeles a couple of week ago. Another record that I haven't seen is `Sun City'. Sigh ... Speaking of Husker Du, does anyone know why their cover of the Mary Tyler Moore theme, `Love is All Around' does not appear on `Flip Your Wig'. I was hoping to hear it. David

If you're reading this Doug, could you send me the Official Explaination Of *Hounds Of Love,* I am curious. Have a Nice Day, Soren Petersen k
