Groovy ’60s Sounds from the Land of Smile!

Ragga, Bhangra, Two Step, Tango, Mini-camp radio, Music on the go

When Joe Strummer died last December, he had been in the studio with his band, The Mescaleros, working on a followup to their fantastic Global a Go-Go (a wonderful, wonderful album that I turned to when I found out that Joe had died, something that surprised even me; I expected to want to listen to London Calling on such an occasion). It wasn’t clear at the time whether the band had finished enough of the album to make a worthy posthumous release. Turns out there was, and Joe’s official site announced a few days ago that the album, called Streetcore, will be out in October.

Damn, I still miss Joe....
