The film did for historical accuracy what the Luftwaffe did for town-planning. Meanwhile, no idea if it was the first or the last great post-Clash track, but 'Trash City' scoops the prize in the Greatest Post-Clash Song Stakes every time for me!Markhttp://www.myspace.com/sourjazznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-45600504384585656132009-05-30T16:48:23.796-05:002009-05-30T16:48:23.796-05:00Yes, that's it -- those links do not show up on Sa...Yes, that's it -- those links do not show up on Safari but they do on Firefox! The post cuts off after the YouTube video. I thought about trying another browser last night but didn't until this morning. How strange. Thanks for being patient with me. I know many say Firefox is way superior to Safari but there are some features of Safari I do like better. But I wonder what else I might be missing on the web?! <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for everything you post here, and thanks again to you and the other commenters for not dismissing my difficulties out of hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-81184622142406210252009-05-30T15:26:00.626-05:002009-05-30T15:26:00.626-05:00The links appeared on callpastorbob's computer.

I remember reading somewhere Glen Matlock wrote one as well (...he's thanked in the liner notes, along with Mick Jones...) but is only known to play on "I Wanna Be Your Dog".<br /><br />Now the main reason for getting the Sid & Nancy soundtrack (aside from Strummer) was the Pogues' song "Haunted" -a truly great song. <br /><br />With it's wistful Shangri-La stylings, part lament, part love song, Cait O'Riordan's vocals were amazing. Contrast that with the totally punk "Hot Dogs With Everything" on the B-side <br />of the 7", and you'll understand what a damn good band the Pogues were.<br /><br />And for any other Circle Jerks completist out there, this "Love Kills" is a slightly slower, more driving version than the one on the VI album. <br /><br />Thanks again Jeffen!biopunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614894519622906554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-35946280526257443072009-05-29T22:33:18.048-05:002009-05-29T22:33:18.048-05:00Anon

Thanks for the lyrics, I really need an accurate source of Strummer/Clash lyrics.<br /><br />Anon<br />I'd hear the Sid and Nancy S/T version a few times (and kinda dismissed it) and only dug into the 12' while readying all these Clash/Strummer posts.<br /><br />CPB<br />Time for you to buy Animal Boy, my friend. As a proud owner of said album though I'd say the Strummer song is a better piece of work (and don't get me started on the Circle Jerks song of the same name - maybe Alex Cox should have kept that phrase as the title instead of changing it to Sid and Nancy).<br /><br />Anon<br />Hmmm... see answer to 1st anon. comment<br />(I did enlarge the text on the d/l, if that doesn't work search the site by using ctrl-f and type in "download"...jeffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015674620176399988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-80012045926353082982009-05-29T22:12:23.732-05:002009-05-29T22:12:23.732-05:00I may be an imbicile but I can't find any links in...I may be an imbicile but I can't find any links in this postAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-15355359120746021192009-05-29T17:55:43.243-05:002009-05-29T17:55:43.243-05:00I must say I much prefer "Love Kills" by the Ramon...I must say I much prefer "Love Kills" by the Ramones.
