Retro Video Unit (7/29/11)

I seem to be posting these every other Friday, which seems like the proper frequency for them.

Seems like a Clash sort of day, and I wanted to post the "London Calling" video, but embedding is disabled on it, and it turns out the sound quality in this one is much better. So, all hail The Clash, "This Is Radio Clash."

This appears to have been shot in New York, which is cool (I would have expected London). What an aesthetic these guys had—the epitome of lo-fi years before the term was even coined.

You should check out the anniversary edition of London Calling. It includes a DVD of the group rehearsing some of their songs and a live concert from the height of their career in the town of their beginnings.
