First post - what brought you here??!!
I sometimes feel I am alone in the world. I first learned of Burning London - The Clash Tribute while an irregular subscriber to the excellent Spiral Scratch magazine/fanzine in the early 90's. Irregular, not by choice you understand, but because the I sometimes snuck in before the single subscriber in the small Irish town I grew up in had a chance to collect :) At that time then I became vaguely aware of this tribute LP, the bands who appeared on it, and what tracks they covered. Most seemingly non-entities; in all truth I didn't pay too much attention to this LP and it soon was forgotten. Fast forward a decade later. While working in a computer manufacturing plant in Cork, I frequently brought to my workplace an invaluable and trusty radio walkman - remember, this was before the days of universal wifi, and the factory floor music policy was, well, grim - Cork's 106 FM, or, if you were lucky, 2FM. Standard listening on weekday evenings was Pet Sounds on Today ...
