Doo-dah, dada, dog. Radio Clash 175 is a special show which commemorates two great songwriters and performers – that original ginger geezah Vivian Stanshall and the Seventh Python (I bet he hates that term) Neil Innes, the former who sadly died in 1995, and their legacy of arty chaotic jazz/pop/psychedelic silliness and melancholy that probably only the English really get…as much rooted in the 20′s than the 60′s and 70′s, but strange and insane in any timeframe.

I know it’s kind of geeky but here’s the stats for This One’s For Joe, the Joe Strummer mashup compilation – I wouldn’t have done this but Marty wanted to know for the KillaKast podcast (which incidentally played Willesden Blue as part of it’s Happy 2008 show!)

We’ve had over 1,000 people downloading!

Here are the hits (18th – 7th Jan):

1. The Clash – This is Radio Clash (Dunproofin mix) – 790 hits*
2. World Famous Audio Hacker – White Riot (Chaos Island remix) – 610 hits
3. Bobby Martini – Too Busy Thinking About the Magnificent 7 (Marvin Gaye vs The Clash) – 596 hits
4. Celebrity Murder Party – Coma Girl Acid Test – 476 hits
5. Fukjamum – Trashed Apple (2 Unlimited vs Tears for Fears vs Mescaleros) – 384 hits

The Zip file got 905 unique visitors alone!

* probably much higher but he reposted the mix on his own server on the 31st.

Quite surprised at some of those (I’d recommend people check out Juxta’s great mix, Earlybird’s is brilliant and my English Ghost deserves more than last place- WAH!), but quite rightly Dun’s mix is the best and is the most downloaded!

Not the first podcast of 2008, strangely delayed since November, lost in the (non) move and buried by Xmess, finally we unearth these odds n’ sods, dust them off and then display them in a case marked ‘Beware of the Leopard’.

In tribute to Joe Strummer and 5 years since his death on Friday, I’ve organised This One’s For Joe, a compilation featuring the great and the good of the mashup/remix world dedicated to Joe and the ideals he inspired in myself and others – the love of music of all types, politics, people and action.

It’s been 2+ months in the making and a lot of hard work and fun; and some great tracks in there, thanks to everyone who contributed. There’s even 2 new tracks from me!

Hope you enjoy, and maybe inspire you to think a little of Joe’s legacy.
