The Drones - Take Shelter - Live In Japan 1997 CD (1998)

Another gift sent to me by Mark. The first 14 tracks are from a gig in Tokyo and the rest are from a gig in Osaka. Take Shelter Live In Japan (the first 14 tracks) was actually released on vinyl too (only 1000 released) and is obviously pretty hard to get hold off so this CD release will do very nicely for now! If you haven't already got this then you'd be a daft sod not to download it!

So thanks once again Mark for this one.

The Stranglers - San Francisco (1978)

The title may sound exciting but this is probably the most disappointing of all the old "Target" video releases. Disappointing because the picture quality is poor,the sound is extremely poor and the length of the thing is a poxy 21 minutes. True the DVD did come with 30 minutes of good quality trailers (not featured here) but thats not the point. I recommend that if you haven't already brought this,then don't! A geezer here gives an honest review http://www.dvdinmypants.com/reviews/O-V/stranglers.php. If you really want a good Stranglers DVD then I recommend Rattus At The Roundhouse.

However if you are a hardcore fan of the band and you haven't got this one then you obviously need to have it! Its a small tracklist but a bloody good one. Join files with HJ-Split http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/

Tracks

1) Burning Up Time
2) Dagenham Dave
3) Bring On The Nubiles
4) Dead Ringer
5) Hanging Around
6) London Lady

MC5 - A True Testimonial (2002)

This 2 hour documentary has never been released but one day it might happen. Who knows? Hopefully it will because as music documentaries go its up there right at the top. Its a 10/10 in my book. I'd really love to share my (illegal) copy but due to the filmmakers and Wayne Kramer in a dispute about the rights to the film,I can't. Above is what my copy looks like for what its worth!

And heres what some people on the much maligned imdb think of it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0333847/usercomments

Has anyone else seen this terrific docu and if so,what did you think of it? Big tip of the day - read the comments :-)

Viva Joe Strummer:The Clash And Beyond (2005)

This one is for Gobshyte over at the excellent http://mondo-de-muebles.blogspot.com/ I rushed this just for you mate! This 62 minute documentary on the life and music of the legend that was Joe Strummer has had mixed reviews. Some say its rushed (just like this post!) while others point out that large chucks of Joe's career has been missed out. This is true I'm afraid but that doesn't mean this is a bad docu at all. Its not. Don't get me wrong,its no The Future Is Unwritten for sure but remember this is 2 years older than that DVD so that project had more time to do a proper and much longer job. There is some great footage on here albeit alot you would of already seen (especially from Rude Boy) but some great tributes and recollections too notabally from Tymon Dogg,Johnny Green,Jonesy and Topper although I'm mystified at the complete absence of Paul Simonon. Watching this did leave me a bit sad as its clear that Joe had returned to his best with the Mescarleros and was extremely happy in the time leading up to his death. Life is cruel.

Now the guilt trip part. On watching this again,I noticed that part of the proceeds on this DVD's sale were going to Strummerville (Joe's Charity) So if you enjoyed this,then please go over to http://www.strummerville.com/ click on the donate button and give something back for Joe. They accept Paypal as well as Credit/Debit card payments so it couldn't be easiler. Alternatively,buy this DVD!

R.I.P. Joe. You will never be forgotten.

Documentaries

I must admit I love documentaries and I've found a great site where you can watch shedloads of them. Not music related I'm afraid but plenty there to interest anyone who likes them. Most of them seem to be working but a few I've tried don't. Hours and hours of informed viewing can be found here http://www.sprword.com/all.html

2) Tight Black Rubber
3) Lolita
