The Clash - Guns of Brixton - YouTube before I left for basic training, I listened to the clash constantly b/c of their militant beat. I knew I wouldn't hear much music for a while (other than taps). But once I got there and was marching around in the Texas sun, I got other songs stuck in my head - weird, spaced out kraut-rock about visions and shit. but yeah, The Clash are good for fight songs.
Also, when I went /afk from the military, I went to the PX or BX or whatever and bought some CDs to listen to on the bus. I'm still weirded-out that one selection was a 3CD set from some French-Canadien label of the Bob Marley stuff from before he was on Island. the stuff produced by Lee Perry. Def weird that the Air Force introduced me to things like
Bob Marley Small Axe - YouTube
er, now that I think about it, I got that at least a few days before going AWOL. b/c I remember my roommate showering and singing "no woman, no cry" while I was playing one of the CDs. When he came back into the main room, he was like "Who is this?!" and I laughed and said "you were just singing along with it sorta. different song, buy same guy." this roommate grew up in the carribean . . . though not Jamaica.
im drunk and rambling . .. .
