Title: Rock El Casbah
Post by: Bobby Isosceles on November 03, 2005, 03:00:04 pm

I am probably going to get an enormous amount of shit from everyone here for admitting that I do not like the Clash (there, I said it), but I am a big fan of middle eastern music. I find that I do like the mixture of western guitars and melodies once you add the arabic drums and egyptian string choir:

Well, now it's only a matter of time until the Pakastani Will Smith uses this to make a horrible rap song.

This is pretty cool though.

What next, OH L00K THIS GUY HAS MADE A PAGE WITH PICTURES OF MR. T AND SPEECH BUBBLES TALKING ABOUT TESTICLE-EATING!

That being said, this MP3 was new to me, Bobby. And you're right, it adds a certain something. I'm not a huge Clash fan, either, with the notable exception of "London Calling," which I love. I'm just as much a fan of Big Audio Dynamite as I am of The Clash.
