(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais by The Clash

(0 Ratings)

Track

"This song has this kind of rocksteady beat over a little bit of a punk rock thing, but I could relate to it because it still sounded like folk music. It wasn’t over the top like the Sex Pistols, it was music from the street and for the people and it had a heartbeat. Joe was explaining the situation in the song much like Bob too, and something in my head just clicked where I was like, ‘This is the same.’ That sent me even further on my musical course. “When I first heard Joe and Mick [Jones, lead guitarist in The Clash] get together and play those beats with the simple guitar stabs, I knew that all I cared about was lyrics. I didn’t care about the music or playing technical. Of course, I was only 13 years old and now I care much more about that, but at this point I just wanted to communicate my message and The Clash showed me the way. After that I got even deeper into storytelling punk rock music."

"The Damned were the first music that I felt I owned. The band you found on your own. The group that your friends don't know. ‘Hayman likes punk music! Ha-ha, what an idiot.’ But the Damned were a terrible punk band; they were too silly, too stupid. I don't like debut albums, all that mindless, directionless energy. I don't like bands at the end of their careers either; the Damned especially do not seem to be able to grow old gracefully. I like bands when they’re in transition. When they try and escape what made them and start to grow into what they always should have been. The Damned were a pop band, and this is their Revolver, not as obvious as their more significant record ‘Phantasmagoria’. They haven't quite ironed out the kinks, and they all hate Captain Sensible who is about to leave them to become a failed star. Strawberries has more tunes than an Elephant Six album. They never play any songs from it now."

A Triumphant Piece Of Punk Pop
American Idiot is a modern classic and 21st Century Breakdown is a masterpiece and while this doesn't quite reach the heights of those two records, it is still pretty great. The record has it's highlight tracks, but as a whole it is engaging, thought provoking and exciting to listen to. The trio have still got their flair and they prove that they are at the peak of their technical musicianship at this point.

Rolling Stone's 41st greatest album of all time
Apart from maybe Dookie by Green Day this is by far my most-listened album in the top 500. So many excellent angry punk anthems and so much anti-establishment sentiment packed in to an album that leaves the listener somewhat breathless by the end. They may have been manufactured to an extent but they absolutely nailed the mood of the nation of the time, and lets face it, of the now as well. Superb.

Movie Favorite

"I love this movie and its revisionist style and its radical politics, but most importantly there is no more punk-rock move in cinema history than having the opening credits be the checks that you’re writing to the cast and crew. Godard—the rich-kid film nerd to end all rich-kid film nerds—gets the machinations of the motion picture “industry” better than any of us. Contempt is masterful, Weekend is a lark, Tout va bien burns everything to the ground."
