What song was the video for? I've only seen two Mescalero videos before: Tony Adams and Johnny Appleseed, and those were kind of like the "singles" from both albums, so I'm guessing it was one of those. And I downloaded both of those from his website back when it actually had stuff on it. I've never seen one on TV.

Strangely enough, the local video music station played Mescaleros video, and promptly followed it with a video from Sum 41. I guess they were implying that they were the rightful successors to Joe's legacy. Music sucks without Joe Strummer. |

I wish Strummer would rise from the grave. He'd be zombie strummer and he'd kick even more ass I really miss him

From what I've read online, it was originally slated for October 4th, but it's been pushed back several times and will probably come out in later October. And Proto, if there's one thing I've learned about Joe's career, it's that he records PILES of music that doesn't make it onto albums, and never even gets released. Example: He recorded an extremely rare to find cover of Pete Seager's Viva La Quince Brigada, and you could make an album out of songs that were cut out of Combat Rock (Kill Time, The Beautiful People are Ugly Too, etc. and the original, unedited versions of Straight to Hell, Ghetto Defendant, Know your Rights, Sean Flynn, et al.) I imagine he's like one of these musicians who records dozens of songs, and than takes the best ones and puts them on an albums. I actually wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't the last Strummer album. :fingers crossed |

It has to come out on October 4th, because that's Les Waste's birthday. This will be a good album. I'll have to trade money for it.

Either October 4th or the 27th I could be totally wrong here, because I heard them from two different sources. |

I had NO idea that they were far enough along on the album when he died to actually release anything. When is this album coming out again? |

That's the first time I've heard Coma Girl, and it fucking rules. As much as I can't wait for this album, it's also going to be extremely depressing knowing that this is going to be the last new material I'lll ever hear from Joe. But that's just cause I suck. It would be different if what he was working on when he died sucked, but it's so good that I'd like to hear more. He seriously has the best voice ever. See, Strummer has made so much material after the Clash broke up that has been b-sides or singles or unreleased songs, they could easily make an album out of it. Not counting this upcoming one or movie soundtracks, he's only done three albums in the last twenty years. I'd love to have an album with songs like Aud in the Pouring Rain or Choloe Vest or Ammunition, even if they were live versions. |

So I guess him being dead was a hoax, huh? (WARNING: THIS IS A JOKE POST! PLEASE DON'T GET ANGRY AT ME I'M FRAGILE) |

| Protoclown | In all seriousness, I am thrilled that they actually had enough done already to complete the album and I can't wait to hear it. |

There aren't enough emoticons for what I'm feeling. So I'll narrow it down to one.

Best news ever! New Joe Strummer album!! :eek I had a link but I lost it oh well Hellcat records, Strummer's label when he kicked it, is releasing "Streetcore," the record Joe and the Mescaleros were working on when he, well, kicked it. The album includes a cover of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," as well as a few songs Strummer was playing during concerts in 2002 ("Get Down, Moses") as well as plenty of new material. It's in the new issue of Rolling Stone, apparently. |
