Tag: Joe StrummerI

Hinterland is what I call the period between Christmas and the New Year, that strange waiting room time where it's not the next year and you slowly eat the leftovers and the Christmas/New Year blues kick in. A grey snowy/rainy hinterland where light barely enters, and things seem rather bleak or weird. This is a 2023 dub/punk new year themed episode dedicated to Terry Hall of the Specials and FB3 who died recently, Vivienne Westwood who I heard about immediately after I recorded this podcast, and the 20th annviversary of the death of Joe Strummer., Wilko Johnson who died in November and Jet Black of the Stranglers who died early December. It's been a bad month in the world of punk. Also some drum and bass and acid chiiled vibes from Ceephax and less chilled vibes from Daniel Avery as we wave goodbye to 2023 and hope it's much more epic and less shit than 2022, but don't I always say that?.

Will it be epic?Welcome to Ready Clash 376And it's HinterlandBecause this is recorded in the HinterlandThe Christmas Hinterland as we call it around hereYou know that weird time between Christmas and New YearAnd also Epic 2023Question markBecause I have a theory that the music in 2023And currently now is becoming less of thatLockdown, acoustic and more epicMore bigger, more maximalist, more widescreenMore throwing the kitchen sink and everythingWell that's just my theory, I think it's going to get more epicBut the question is whether 2023 itself has become epicHmm, probably notAnd you just heard I Fought the LawMikkim vs The ClashAnd of course it's not dated, but I think it's from a few years agoMikkim is an Eastern European producerHe's produced quite a few of dub drum and bassRemixes especially around The ClashThen before that we had from The KuntsWith their Christmas single this yearThat's Fuck the ToriesAnd that's the Mr B, the Gentleman Rhymer remixI didn't really think I'd support themAlthough I found it funny how they managed toPiss off the sausage roll grifter that is Lad BabyAnd quite right tooAlthough I think The Cunts are grifting to some extentI think Lad Baby is much worse exampleBut I like that version by Mr B going all jungleAnd I agree with the sentiment obviouslyAnd then before the wonderful jingle from Cecille DeMillaThe new one that was a Rat Race by the SpecialsFrom BBC concert live at the Paris Theatre15th of December, 1979And obviously included that because of the sad death of Terry HallAnd also we just had the 20th anniversary ofThe death of Joe StrummerWho died 23rd of DecemberI remember that, that was similar feeling toHow I feel about Terry HallOf Specials, FUNBOY 3And many other things, kind of fieldAnd you will hear some Terry HallAnd some more Joe Strummer and The ClashLater on in the podcastIt's a very dubby, punky, drum and bassySome electronica, something with the new CeephaxAnd the new Daniel Avery albumsThe Ceephax one just recently droppedI've featured it on the blog RadioClash.comIf you don't know, I'm sure you do knowBecause you downloaded thisBut you never know where people get to hear thisBut yeah, from RadioClash.comYou can feature the Ceephax albumAnd the Daniel Avery album is brilliant as wellWe'll talk about that laterBut we're going to start with some moreMore Clash related shizzleRadioClash, I mean seriously, I meanIt's part of the MOThat's where we stole the name fromSo this is from DJ Feva'sLockdown EPDuring lockdown he created a bunch ofLockdown related dub tracksThis one was less lockdown relatedProbably is why I didn't play itBut this is Gun Clash BrixtonThe Clash Guns of BrixtonBy DJ FevaThat was DubxanneWith Spirits in a Material WorldSpirits in a Dub WorldFeaturing Benjamin ZephaniahI like BBenjamin Zephaniah butDubbing up police tracksOh that's not the one I heardMaybe it was but I'm pretty sure it wasn'tInformously, a long long time agoOn this podcast we did a podcastProbably the first ever podcast in the worldOn psychedelic mushroomsAnd just before they became illegalIn the UKWe thought we heard the bestOr I thought I heard the bestPolice dub album everAnd I think it was just audio hallucinationsIt certainly didn't sound like thatIt sounded like King TubbyOr Lee Scratch Perry remixing the policeIt was like wowAnd I think it was just an audio hallucinationBecause everything was looping aroundIn my headEven the birds and everything was just looping aroundBecause it was like an in echo chamberSo it was the best dub album everAnd it was in my head, annoyinglyI've always wanted to do a dub sectionAnd it just seemed appropriateBecause of the death of Terry HallAnd the 20th anniversaryOf Dub and Reggae and SkaJust seemed to be appropriateTo drop loads of tracks relating to thatBefore there was Funboy 3With More I See The Less I BelieveFrom their album WaitingFrom 1983From Police and DubSo I actually couldn't have been thatIt couldn't have been that albumMaybe it was a pre-release, I don't knowIt's such a shame that that Funboy 3 trackIs out of dateIs out nation dividedAnd terrorismAnd all those thingsIt's such a relic of the timesThings have changedAnd it's nothing like that at allAhemYesThen before that we had DubxanneWith Message in a BottleMessage in a DubFeaturing Earl 16I love Earl 16I've played tracksI think with Mikkim againFrom Earl 16And I couldn't decide which one to put inSo I put in bothAnd usually one gets droppedI was like noI really think theSpiritualAnti-MaterialismYour YouMessage is perfect forA New Year showAnd alsoThere's the line inMessage in a BottleAbout another year has passedAnd thenBottlesArriving at my shoreAnd that kind of sums upKind of where I'm at at the momentTalking about my experiencesAnd a few things onlineThe idea thatNot everyone's experience is uniqueBut alsoDepressingly commonAnd that also seems to workVery well with aA New Year ideaSo, you knowAnd then before thatWe had DubmonesFeaturing Sebastian SturmThat's PinheadThat's fromThe King-sized Dub25ConvolutionThat's from this yearI don't know, is that a cover?Is that a cover mashup?A mash cover?A cash-upA motherOf PinheadBy the RamonesI love how they dropped in bits of the RamonesAnd it's also mixed inAnd with the radio sounds at the startAnd then at the start of the sectionWe had DJ FevaSpell FEVAI think you can still find that onlineFor downloads still availableVery well worth checking outFor 2020That'sThat's Gun Clash BrixtonI've rinsed several tracks from that EPBack in 2020As it seemed to sum up theTimesSo I'm sure some of itHas probably hasn't dated very wellBecause it's talking aboutJohnson and GoveHopefullyHopefully those are in the pastWho knows what's going to happenFuck the ToriesFuck, fuck the ToriesEt ceteraAnd againIt's a shame those things are in the pastIt's a shame things have changedThings have got so much betterIn the last two yearsYeah, so hopefully2020-23 is epicIn CapitalsI have no doubtsBut anywayWhat is epicIs the new albumI would say epic in a very quiet wayA new album from CeephaxAnd it's calledBaddow MoodsAnd he released itI think it's Christmas DayYeah, it was Christmas DayHe released itAnd very muchI hate to use the phraseReturn to FormBecause there isn't really a formWith CeephaxCeephax just does what Ceephax doesIt's all acidOld machinedKind of nostalgiaBut kind of CeephaxIt's just what Ceephax doesTo say it's acidIs not reallyIt's sort of acidAmbientUnlike his brotherSquare pushIt doesn't go allBase workoutsAt sort of 170 BPMNoBut a variety of thingsAnd there's some really niceSort of chill track on thisSurprisinglyPiano tracksAnd something a little bitEven a little bitHappy hardcoreA little bitEvenWhich is surprisingBy the next trackHe hasn't exactly goneHands on the airWhistleAnd that's the stuffThat's the CeephaxBut yeahI would reallyWould recommend checkingCeephaxThat's spelled C-E-E-P-H-A-XIf you don't knowAnd it's availableOn BandcampAnd this is StratStorm Mixby CeephaxThat was DJ UseoWithGirls Just Want to Tear Us ApartCindi Lauper vs Joy DivisionAnd I hopeYou got myFeeling about the

I heardThe newLike I saidNewIt was back fromMarchIt's new for meMarch 2022That's the newIn quotesRemixGold DustBecause it's 10 yearsOh my GodDon't you feel oldDJ Fresh'sGold Dust was released10 years ago7 years agoThat's the next MarchFox StevensonOf thatAnd there was a bigEPWith aboutI think7 or 10Remixes on itThat's my favouriteBecauseIt just goes largeIt goes largeIn a very big fashionFashionDJ Fresh's Gold DustYou've probably heard itIn a remixOr an advertOr whateverIt just becameOmnipresentIt was one of those releasesWhichUnlikeSayShirefxOrAndy CDoesn't really haveThe same profileThat's what to meBrought him to my attentionI think is it himApologies for isn'tWe had another trackOr that's fromThe higher singleThat's higherVocal versionBecause actually on the albumSherelle's vocalIs on the previous trackI had to write a versionBut it's mixed inBecause I couldn't be botheredTo go and edit it myselfAndAnd I thinkI'm not sureWhat she's speaking aboutBut I suspectShe's talking aboutQueer spacesGenerally queer spacesAnd raves howThey are special spacesThey are a churchThe dance floor is a churchIt's a ritual spaceI think house planiersCame from gospelAnd yeahThere's a wholeThing thereButCertainly the dance floorHas a queerRitual aspectsIt isOur coming together spaceIt is ourRitual spaceIt's an expressionOf our cultureIt's been thereFor a very long time60 70 plus yearsAnd probably moreIf you go backInto the shamanic stuffAnd all that thingsAnd so many queerPeople are shamansIt goes backEven thousands of yearsIf youRecent times56 yearsIt is a very key partOf a cultureHaving that spaceBut it isHemmed inBy everything around itSo it is thatArea whereYou can be yourselfOr you knowFor other peopleTo guess themselvesAnd be themselvesBut as soon as you leaveThat dance floorIt becomesSomething elseYou have to go backInto the normal worldI don't know if that'sWhat it was aboutBut that's what it gotFrom thatThat vocal snippetThat was why it's importantFor meWhat a mindInstamatic withBush of GhostsThat's a dealWith the devilThat's Kate BushVersus GhostThat's againI think moreAnd moreInstamatic tracksLeaking inAnd more of the TBC stuffThe more serious sideIs leaking into themThere aren't that manyGhost mashupsAnd that was doneFor one of theChallengesThe CrumplbangerChallengeWhich wasMashedSomething that's under-mashedAnd there aren'tThat many Ghost mashupsI've done oneTitus Jones has done oneThere might be a few moreBut not manyWhich is weirdBecause GhostArePiggeringAmazingI don't know whyBut yesThere is a darknessAnd artTrackMuch more epicAnd that wasWhat Adriana saidWhen she played itAnd it was likeYes, exactlyAnd that's why I came upWith the2023Is the epic thingBecause I've noticedThat trendOf making thingsThat wereEpic even more epicThat will beContinue intoI might be wrongBut that's whyI just have a feelingOccasionally I have theseLittleAnd I'm not usually wrongI have theseThingsIt feels about rightIt's likeThree years after thePandemicI think it'sIt's going to be a timeWhen people will be likeObviously circumstancesAllowingIt's now timeTo let everyone's hair downOr goJust super wide screenGlitzGlamI can see that

singersThe singers who work with themI'm not sure if the singers arePart of themLittle Sims is alwaysHeavily connected withSaultBut I suspect the people behindThe people doing the musicThey stayOut of

originalAnd it's a lostA lost reggaeClassic, I would sayThe Specials withFriday nightSaturday morningOn the B sideOf Ghost Town1981To me, I think that'sWhatThe third Specials albumWhich never happenedWhich then became SpecialsA.K.A.Not withThe other threeThe Funboy 3I feel that'sA hint of what it could have been likeIt's a bit sad to listen toBecause it's a trueBrilliant songWritten by Terry HallAnd it's sad when I saw themThey were brilliantJerry Dammers wasn't involved with thatSo I've never got to see the SpecialsAs they wereBack thenBut still a brilliant songAnd I was listening toThe Nouvelle Vague versionThey did a cover versionWith Terry HallThat's whenNouvelle VagueBecameA bit too muchLike a weird covers bandIt wasn't as goodAs the originalOther punk linksHolly CookThe daughterPaul CookAnd Happy HourThat's from the latest albumOf the same nameCame out in JuneThat's one of the tracksI wanted to put inAnd it sort ofBeen put inTo get outThis has becomeA sort of a best

going to play out with aAnother mashup of mineYeah, it's a whole mashup of some mineThere's only threeOr is there four?There's threeThis podcastWeird, I tend toSort of do one per aliasBut this one I'll allow myselfEspecially asI have to sayThe Instamatic trackWas really a TBC trackThe Willesden BlueThat's not really anInstamatic trackAnd the Bush of Ghosts oneIs not really anInstamatic track eitherBut this is TBCaka InstamaticWith Only Living Boy in JamaicaAnd this is my yearEnding trackAnyways, this is very appropriateTo actually end the podcastThe last podcast of 2022And fuck you 2022I look forward to 2023But I say that every yearThis is Boy Who We BeThat's Tanya StephensVersus Simon and GarfunkelAnd I've been obsessed byLiving Boy in New YorkPartly becauseWell, I am a Simon and Garfunkel stanIt's appeared in so many brilliant filmsIt was in the normal heartAt the endIt's in Garden StateWhich is a filmJust rewatched it recentlyI still come back to that filmI know some people haveStacked it offAnd I'm like, why?It is actuallyAn amazingly brilliant filmThe ending is shitYeah, like we've got toTack on a happy ending hereBut the rest of itIs brilliant from Zach BraffI feel like I lost in translationWhere someone just wandering through that lifeAnd just thinking, what the hell's going on here?I've used to in mashupsThere was a Fever Ray mashupWhere I used the scene where they're in the poolTalking about familiesThere's all that stuff about going homeAnd familiesWhich links into the Dorothea mashup I didLinks into the last podcastWith homeAll that sort of stuffYou know, so yeahNo wonder I was watching Garden State againYeah, it's all about sort ofComing back to the place you grew upAnd just being weirded out by itPretty much the filmAnd also finding itThe usual things of finding yourselfAnd resolving things with your parentsNot those Hollywood tropesBut mostly the bit that's interesting to meIs the wholeKind of feeling of going homeOr whether you can really go home againAnd then after thisI'm going to play a short little trackFrom the SpecialsBecause you knowI have to start with SpecialsEnd with SpecialsOr I like to bring this full circleAnd enjoy yourselfRepriseYou've played themEnjoy yourselfBeforeThat was the difficult thingAbout this podcastSo many of the thingsI wanted to playI've played beforeSo this isThe Only Living Boy in JamaicaAnd I hope you have a goodNew yearAnd a good end of 2022And a good start of 2023
