[kj] KJ2003

Actually the Clash's Sandinista has alsways been my fave album. It would have made a classic double album and a monster single, but I actually like the fact that it has 36 songs--kind of like a long, interesting journey.

The first one ( "Killing Joke") is the best, with "HA" a close second.  "Nighttime" is acceptable, but the chaotic spell is not as intense.  > From: vassifer at earthlink.net> To: gathering at misera.net> Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2008 19:10:31 -0400> CC: joker at Z6.com> Subject: Re: [kj] KJ2003> > > NIGHTTIME is, was and e'er shall be my all time favorite record ..... > BY ANYONE.> > Alex in NYC> > On Apr 9, 2008, at 1:26 PM, Karen Weil wrote:> > > My fave is "Nightime."
