Hoot '12: Clash/ Brian Eno covers






Hoot '12: "Julie's in the Drug Squad" b/w "King's Lead Hat"

More goods from last year's springtime Harpswell Hoot and beer-slaughterin'!

First one's originally off the Clash's rock-solid second album, "Give 'em Enough Rope" from '78.  Second's off Eno's '77 "Before and After Science".

Dillo educated us to the fact that "King's Lead Hat" is an anagram of "Talking Heads", a band that Eno had just gotten to know at the time.  You can certainly see the (mutual) influence even in our spastic version.  It's a crazy chugging locomotive of a song, nonsensical though it may be.

I'm educating you to the fact that if it's the Clash  that somebody's spinning, well, you'd better listen up because the odds tell you that it's probably gonna be goddarned great.  Shaddup-a-you-face!
