Link Wray - Growling Guitar

Link Wray is by far one of the most influential people in rock n' roll history yet he is also one of the least recognized and known about. His music is for the most part instrumental and really focused on his guitar playing since he could not sing very much as he only had the use of one of his lungs. And being of Native American ancestry Link Wray seemed to constantly try to pay respect to his heritage either through the name of his songs or through the actual style of music he played. This was unfortunately something that many record labels and radio stations did not really approve of and one of the major reasons Link Wray never became as well known as some of the other rock n' roll pioneers of the 1950's and 1960's. Yet without a doubt he has been extremely influential especially when you consider he invented the power chord which is the basis of many styles of rock music such as metal and punk.
If you just enjoy old school rock then I really highly recommend you give this album and Link Wray a listen.

Roots of Rock N' Roll 1927-1938

This album is for those who want to explore the deep roots of what we now know as rock n' roll or simply rock music. This album is filled with some great tunes from all the various genres which would combine into rock including jazz, soul, swing, country, blues, and honky tonk. Personal favorite of mine is the Tampa Kid recording of "Baby Please Don't Go" this is one of the earliest recordings of this song which would later become a blues and rock staple. If you like American music and I mean real American music not the stuff that is on the radio nowadays then you have to check out this great album.

Chava Flores - Antologia

Canciones de Resistencia y la Guerra Civil Española

I know in the past I posted another album with songs from the Spanish Civil War but I recently stumbled across this album and really thought it was worth sharing. The songs featured on this album are completely different from the ones on the album I had previously posted. This album features some great songs which really make you feel as if you were in Madrid or Barcelona in the 1930's during this forgotten chapter in the fight against Fascism. I highly recommend this album to anyone out there and hope everyone enjoys it.

The Specials - More Specials

More Specials is the second album released by the 1980's 2 tone band The Specials. This album though often overlooked by many contains some great tracks from a cover of the classic Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think) to Rat Race which comments on the often dull and fruitless work environment of the typical person. Personal favorites on this album are Stereotype and International Jet Set. Stereotype has a very dark and eerie sound and was written encouraging youth to not fall prey to the pressures of drug use. International Jet Set a mostly instrumental song was supposedly written by the band after their less than successful first US tour. Overall this is a great album that I would really recommend to anyone who enjoys really anything from ska to jazz and I might even say rock and pop music.

Joe Strummer's London Calling BBC Radio Shows

From 1999 to 2002 Joe Strummer the frontman of The Clash hosted a radio show for the BBC World Service. The show followed a very simple format with Joe spinning the records he had gathered from being a teenager living in Africa and Latin America to the reggae and rock records that would later become a tremendous influence in the music of The Clash. London Calling really did have a bit of music to suit any persons taste. Personally this is where I first heard much of the music that I now regularly listen to including artists like Big Youth, Francoise Hardy, Sonny Okosun, R. Dean Taylor, and music styles like Congolese rumba. I've heard that all the shows that Joe did are available for download on iTunes however the download that I am making available here has four shows which were re-aired by the BBC in 2007 in honor of Joe Strummer's death. I really recommend this one to anyone out there as you can really discover some great music on these shows.

Daniel Alvarez - On The Path To Awakening

Daniel is a great guitarist (he taught the author of this blog how to play guitar) and this is his first CD. His music could be considered sort of a cross between rock and jazz and I can say that his music would be enjoyed by anyone who likes either of these two genres. Daniel is a great guy and an even better musician so I really highly recommend anyone to check out his music.

The Jam - Live at Rockplast 1980

The Jam is one of the most famous bands in Britain to come out of the 1970's-80's punk and new wave era. While The Jam were tremendously popular in Britain they had very limited success in other places such as the United States. This being a real shame since The Jam composed some great tracks combining the sounds from 60's bands like The Beatles and The Who with the newer punk and new wave style. The album that I am uploading is a live album and features some of the best tracks done by The Jam.
Really recommend you check this out if you like any of the punk or new wave music of the 70's-80's or also any of the British rock from the 1960's.

Jackie Mittoo - Last Train to Skaville

Jackie Mittoo one of the most influential and one of the greatest musician to come out of the Jamaican music scene of the 1960's. His instrumental songs would lay the foundation for much of the work that later artists would produce. This album Last Train To Skaville has some great tunes including a Jamaican take on the James Bond theme song and the epic Ska-Culation. If you like reggae, ska, jazz, or just plain good music than this is definitely an album you want to check out.

The Clash - Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg (2 CD)

Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg is one of the most famous of Clash bootlegs. It is made up of the original recordings by Mick Jones of what would become the Combat Rock album. A lot of these songs never saw the light of day and the original mixes were never used either due to the struggles and fighting that the band was starting to experience at this point in time. While Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg is a relatively easy bootleg ro find for download online most versions available are only made up of 1 CD and are missing some great tracks. The version I am giving you here includes some extremely rare tracks including two songs featuring Ranking Roger from The Beat on vocals. This material truly is a must have for any Clash fan.

Viento Negro - Servando Gonzales (1965)

This time I thought I would post something other than music and instead share one of my all time favorite movies. Viento Negro is a movie from the golden era of Mexican cinema and is considered one of the best movies to have ever come out of Mexico and has even made it on some lists as one of the best movies in international cinema. The movie was originally destined to be released in the US however due to disagreements between the director and some members of the original cast the movie was only released in Mexico.
The movie takes place in the 1940's in the Altar desert in the state of Sonora in northern Mexico as the federal government had just commissioned for a railroad that would connect the Baja California peninsula to the rest of Mexico be built. This was part of the rapid industrialization of post-revolution Mexico and in part a response to repeated threats by the US government of the possibility of annexing Baja California.

The movie makes light of the treacherous and often brutal conditions that workers had to endure as they built this railroad through the middle of the desert. Having to deal with everything from scorching heat to freezing temperatures and of course the relentless "Viento Negro" (black wiind). The workers are also faced with their own personal struggles as they deal with things like racism, fighting, loneliness, father son relationships, and even death. One thing to also keep in mind is that many of the events in this movie are not made up but based on things that really did occur during the construction of the Sonora Baja California Railroad.
Hope you enjoy this one because as I mentioned before it is one of my favorite movies.

Viento Negro - Entire Movie 127min/Pelicula Entera 127min.

2 Bootlegs For The Price of 1

I received some requests for some Clash bootlegs and so decided I would put both of them in one post. The first one is from the live Lewisham show done in 1980, there is some great material including a great version of White Man in Hammersmith Palais. The second is from a live show in Akron, Ohio done in 1982 and a part of the Combat Rock tour of the US. Again there are some great tracks here and definitely a great live show from the not so happy dying days of The Clash.

Surf & Hot Rod Rock

As I prepare for a more than likely vacation to California this summer I have been trying to make sure everything is ready for said vacation and of course music is no exception. Of course what better music to listen to while at the beach in California than some classic surf and hot rod rock? This particular style of music was popular in the 1950's and 1960's as the surfing and hot roding movements gained popularity in the west coast of the United States. While most people have probably heard of The Beach Boys or a song like Wipeout there are many other great artists and songs from these genres that never gained such popularity. In this small compilation which I have put together I will attempt to introduce some of this great music which can only be properly enjoyed under the California Sun.

1. The 101ers - Surf City
2. Four Speeds - Cheater Slicks
3. The Rip Chords - Hey Little Cobra
4. The Hondells - Little Honda

Hermanos Zaizar- Canciones de la Revolucion

 This is a great album that I highly recommend to anyone with even a remote interest in Mexican music. Some of the audio is a bit rough however the songs are still classics that date back around 100 years and Los Hermanos Zaizar are some of the best artists to have covered these songs. Also for anyone interested in a bit of military history take note of songs like La Adelita and La Rielera. These songs and others mention women in combat roles during the war. This is something that is rarely mentioned however the Mexican Revolution was one of the first conflicts were women were treated equally to their male counterparts in concern to combat roles. Some women were even known to have attained high ranking positions like commanders, colonels, and such.

The Clash Vanilla Tapes

The legendary Vanilla Tapes are a series of demos by The Clash that were what for the most part would become the famous London Calling album. These demos however for a long time were thought to have completely vanished. The story goes that Clash roadie Johnny Green lost the tapes while on the London Underground and it was not until 2004 that the tapes would resurface when Mick Jones found another copy of them. I recommend these to any Clash fan as they are a great insight into the band. Everything from the cover of Sonny Okosun's Fire in Soweto to the rough versions of classic songs like London Calling and Guns of Brixton.

Lynn Taitt and The Jets - Hold Me Tight 1965-1973 Anthology

 This is probably one of the best rocksteady albums you will ever find. Hold Me Tight does an amazing job of compiling some great tracks of "rocksteady" which was the popular music genre in 60's and early 70's Jamaica that would lead to what most people know as reggae. Hold Me Tight is made up of two CD's the first one containing purely instrumental songs and the second one containing various rocksteady classics.
I highly recommend this one to anyone as this album seems to have something for every music taste.

Joe Strummer and The Latino Rockabilly War (Live in Manchester 1988)

A great album for any Clash, Joe Strummer, or just rock fan in general. This album features some of Joe's work after The Clash disbanded with his band The Latino Rockabilly War. This bootleg is extremely rare as it is probably some of the only live audio out there of Joe playing with Latino Rockabilly War. Highly recommend checking this one out as it has a bit for everyone everything from classic Clash tunes to a Carlos Santana and more great material.

Canciones de la Guerra Civil Española

This is an album made up of traditional songs from the Spanish Civil War everything from "Himno de Riego" to "Ay Carmela". All sung by different artists everything from Rolando Alarcon to Woody Guthrie. I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys folk music or who is interested in knowing a bit more about a forgotten chapter in the fight against Fascism and Nazism in Europe.

REPLACING LINKS REEMPLAZANDO LINKS

I have begun to replace the download links to megaupload for new working download links. This may take some time to completely finish but I will try my best to replace all the download links currently not working as soon as possible 

Estoy empezando a remplazar los links que no funcionan por links nuevos que no van a la pagina de megaupload. Esto puede que me tome un poco de tiempo pero tratare de remplazar todos los links lo antes posible. 

PLEASE READ!! FAVOR DE LEER!!

Due to the Stop Online Piracy Act currently being discussed in the United States government Megaupload the site that I used to upload the music for this blog has been shut down. This means that all the download links on this blog as of now do not work. However it may take some time but in the coming weeks I hope to reupload all of the material that was on the blog so that it can once again be available for download. I will make a new post as soon as I start this process and then as soon as I finish it.

Devido a las iniciativas contra la pirateria que actualmente se estan discutiendo en el gobierno de Estados Unidos la pagina Megaupload que es la pagina que usaba para subir la musica del blog a sido cerrada. Esto significa que todos los links para bajar musica por el momento no funcionaran, pero en las proximas semanas tratare de volver a subir toda la musica que estaba en el blog para que asi otra vez este disponible para bajarse. Hare un anuncio en caunto empieze a canbiar los links y lo volvere hacer en cuanto termine de cambiar todos los links. 

The Clash - Lost Treasures

This is a great bootleg with some Clash material that I did not even know existed until very recently. I would probably not recommend this if you are just starting to listen to The Clash or are just someone who liked their more popular songs as I think this is one of those albums that though it has great tracks is made more for the die hard fans.

2		White Man In Hammersmith Palais (Alternate Version)
3		Danger Love (Kris Needs Vocal)
4		Like A Tiger (Kris Needs Vocal)
5		The Cost Of Living (Radio Advert)

Francoise Hardy

I was asked by someone if I could post more Francoise Hardy material so I will but instead of the usual albums to download I thought I would post something a bit different. These are some somewhat rare Francoise Hardy videos and photos that I have found over time and I am sure many people who have not seen them would enjoy.
That is all for now...au revoir
