Great background music for a lazy Wednesday afternoon, bit of everything in there and when you do actually listen Joe's throwing in some nice lyrics here and there too.
'Ring ring 7am' :)
Top class! Not for the faint hearted that album.
Anyway I'm listening to Live at San Quentin by Johnny Cash.
Lol I love it in Westway To The World where MJ claims he always saw Sandinista as an album for people who worked on oil rigs and couldnt get down the record shop as often as the rest of us. Bizarre but strangely true comment!
It is a muddled, messy, confused masterpiece and I've always had a soft spot for it.
Yeah I love it. 'Something About England' is a brilliant song. If only one of these overhyped bands of today had the balls to bring out an album like Sandinista.

I went to see Ash on Saturday night (bit of a guilty pleasure of mine I must say) and the support were The Dead 60's who were pretty plain. I was quite impressed though how they tried to work a bit of Ska into their music. It wasn't particularly good but at least they're trying.

Ash, yeah I'll admit to quite liking some of their tunes (girl from mars especially). I've seen the Dead 60's a few years back supporting Moz in Edinburgh, all their tracks at the time were Ska of some sort and were ok but they kinda lacked any charisma or personality. It was just 4 lads on a stage basically.
I think the thing with PD is that due to the tabloid stories his defenders seem to go to the extremes in defending him as the attackers go to extremes in attacking him so we end up with the PD is the worst scumbag junkie ever stories countered by PD is the genius of the world. Neither are completely true.
